Call me crazy. But this seems like more than a 4" lift.. Tires are 33's. I'm sure it will settle a little bit. Looks like I am for sure gonna do the 40 gallon suburban swap

My truck has BDS 4" lidt and 33" tires in 16.5 rims, it measures about 12 1/4" at the front fender well, i didn't measure the rear but its pretty symmetrical front to back.

Very nice, Back to the truck stuff. This weekend Jimbo and I went to pick-n-pull and scored a 40 gallon rear mount gas tank with a wonderful 1/8 thick steel protection shield from a suburban. It had EFI so the TBI fuel pump is in the tank. I will just need to run a pressure regulator and it will work for my carb. We also scored the filler neck and even brought the Milwaukee death wheel with us so we could hack the fuel door assembly from the Suburban. Im very excited to pick this one up. I think the weight of all the fuel will help level out the truck and now I feel much better about going on long camping trips with a 383 under the hood. AND!!! the sending unit is the same ohms as my old tank so the gauge works perfect!! ::chevy: Good Old GM...
There was a NV4500 and a couple 4l80e's at pick n pull, but they were all for 2wd. I am still tempted to pick them up and convert them to 4x4.... |
Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion
I say pick them up and convert them if there in good shape. Those are not cheap.

Well. when I first got the gas tank from the suburban I figured I could just make my own crossmembers to install it, But the straps were stuck to the old ones, So over the weekend we went back to cut out the front and rear gas tank crossmembers from the suburban. it was no fun. I had to borrow some extra batteries for my grinder. we ended up cutting sections out of the floor so that we could reach the 8 top rivets. but we finally got them. Im happy. now my tank install should be very simple. drill a couple holes. yay!

Well. It's been a while. But I have been working on the truck every weekend. I have made serious progress on the wiring, and yesterday I got the cab back on the body. It's pretty exciting to me. Seeing it like this. Really makes me wanna throw it back together and drive it asap! Today I patched the gas tank holes that were stabbed by the wonderful employees at pick n pull, we got the 40 gallon suburban tank ready to go.

Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion
Dude! That's looking sick! starting to look like a truck now

Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion
I'm liking this build! I have a very similar project. A 70 2wd going to 4x4, except I'm using lighter axles and a sm465 because I've had some bad experiences with the old 700r4

Well the past few days I have been working on project 40 gallon suburban gas tank... I had to remove the rear crossmember (6 rivets) from my truck, and I also had to remove the rear brake line bracket from the frame (2 rivets). the front crossmember from the suburban is put in the rear of my truck (in order for the fuel filler to be on the drivers side) and it is taller than the old one. so I had to cut relief notches in the suburban crossmember. I finally got it up in place and its going to work out! Yesterday I started running the fuel and brake lines along the frame rail. I will update with more pics later.

Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion
VERY NICE man. I'll have to swing by one of these days to check it out now that it's not just a frame. Do you know what your going to run for exhaust?

Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion
That should sounds good. I'm sure regardless of how big a muffler u put on. That 383 will still Rip when it comes alive. How far do you think you have till its on the road again?
