62 Burb project in the making.

[Captainfab]

If they do find something that does not comply, what do they do and what is the next step for you? Is it simple or complicated?

[sirJim]

That is a complicated question.
If they find something then I have time to fix it then go back.
Unless they just cant figure it out as it is the only 62 here.
I am going to have to weigh it then see where we are at.
I know they came with all
the seats but it is a problem with the way they figure out how much it can haul.
Have to see what it weighs first.
They figure 165lbs per person then times 8 seats with the total vehicle gvwr.

Passed Vehicle inspection with flying colors! Yea! Now to wait on the tax department to set a value then I will have licence plates and 8 years until the next vehicle inspection!

[Captainfab]

That's good to hear.......except for the tax part.

Thanks. Tax shouldent be too bad as it is being registered as a antique car.
around $3K

[sirJim]

Got some of the small stuff done tonight.
Peter rejuvenated the blinker switch on the steering column, and adjusted the cable.
pcv connected.
Exhaust tip cut off.
A little rust touch up painting.
Need to do some jetting adjustments on the Quadrajet. A bit to rich.

Is that a one time tax for as long as you own the vehicle? Do you also have to pay other fees such as licensing and road use?

yep it is for the first registration in Denmark . And yearly license i dont know what that Will be. Since it is antikke (35 years old )it only gets inspected every 8 years.

[Captainfab]

Wow, that is a bit much. Here in my state we pay a 6% sales tax when purchasing a new vehicle and then licensing is around $50-75 a year for licensing something that old. Then the road taxes/fees are a part of the fuel cost.

I like the blinker on the side idea, probably a requirement for you. I am putting in some round clearance lights on the side of my 65 Suburban, and thought about getting some that could be used as turn signals as well. How did you wire them in?

Ran Them over to drivers side and put a conector to the blinker conection that plugs into the firewall. And of course grounded the other wire.

Nice truck! Where did you get the radiator hoses? I thought I tried stock hoses and they didn't work for me.

[sirJim]

They were stock hoses off Ebay.
Had to "adjust" the length to get them in the right position.
I will try to find the part nr when I get around to it.

[sirJim]

Did some work on the quadrajet. Checked needle and jet size. Gasket float lever. Big improvement.

[sirJim]

Found this on the front seat.

[sirJim]

Just paid the taxes on it, now to wait for licence plates.
Getting ready to put it in storage soon for the winter.
Now to wait for better weather and get out and really drive it.
Havent been able to do much but test up and down the road with test plates on.

One of them is all I could find Gates 20416.
I think the other was.
Gates 20475 not sure though.

[Captainfab]

Yes that is the unfortunate reality for many of us. If you want your truck to stay decently nice, you can't drive it during the winter time. Do they use any sort of deicer on the roads in Denmark?

[sirJim]

Yes they use lots of salt.

[sirJim]

Got the rims finished polishing. Not in too bad of shape. Anyone have knock offs or center caps?

[Captainfab]

Are those factory aluminum wheels?

[sirJim]

I really dont know the markings say gmc BCo50781 but other than that?

I'm probably wrong, but didn't the 82 Chevy pickups and Suburbans come from the factory with these wheels? I remember dark blue pickups with these on them. Found this, but it's an 87

[sirJim]

Those are close, few extra holes.
Looks like you are right 80´s standard rims.
found some on ebay
Now I just have to find some caps or knockoffs
