I can press the clutch down and it stays there unless i pull it back up

Thanks!

Does it actually release though? Can you have someone roll the truck with the trans in gear and the clutch pushed in? Are you sure all of the linkage is connected? It sounds like the linkage might be disconnected somewhere.

Kalle, I have a 14 bolt FF that is already set up for a '68 burb.

I'd make you a deal on it if you want to make a trip down to SoCal.

What gear ratio and where in SoCal? I will probably take you up on that! We visit family in San Diego a few times a year

I don't know the gear ratio, but I could pull the cover off and figure out.

I am in the Temecula area just off Winchester Rd on I-15.

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up

Been trying to make some progress.

I got a P/S Pump & bracket from board member 68bowtie thanks a ton!

Went to mount it up and of course with this truck... The holes in the 327 were not fully drilled & tapped so I had to do that as well.

I also found some 35x12x16.5 BFG Rollers on craigslist for $100 bucks I Just picked them up and will mount them on my Slot Mags tomorrow and polish them up

Funny is the guy I picked them up from recognized me (went to school with my wife)

I can't go anywhere...

yes it releases, It is not in a spot to be rolled right now, especially without the brakes working lol.

It was disconnected and I found where and reconnected it. I will have to look into it more and deal with getting the brakes working first
