Re: Project Family Hauler

I'm back. Been working on the other truck so I had a break.

Replaced all my old braided fuel line, it was 14 years old and my garage smelled like gas all the time. Plumbed it for a return style system. Used teflon lined braided line this time with steel hardline in the frame. Much easier to work with. This should fix my vapor locking problem too.



Took some boards out of my bed to access the fuel line.


Then put the bed wood back together.


Then I get back to the suburban.
Painted inside before welding patch panel.


Patch welded in and smoothed. Also replaced the door skin again.


Did a little massaging of the latch and the door closes with just a click now.


Happier with the door skin now. It fits the curve better, the top is even with the inside and there is no bulge in the middle.


Started setting the door gaps.


Bottom door gap is 1/8"


Rear door gap still needs some work. But getting closer.
