Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

thank you..
thanks..u know, while it was at a shop getting the notch welded in the guy told me someone asked about it lol. I just hope someone hasn't called the number...poor po. ill get it off one of these days

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

what size tires are those on their>??

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

looking good! keep at it

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

225/75/15...which is 28.8" tall. I think I checked and they should be the same height as a 22" tire/rim that will eventually go on (245/35/22, which is 28.75). havent tried looking to see if that size is available. im not too concerned though because i will probably z the truck and 4 link the rear next year. i just want to get it on the road to enjoy it before i start doing major work to it.
thanks

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

thanks for stopping by...

got the water pump and fel pro gasket kit today...should be getting some of the motor together this weekend!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

some progress on the motor!

got the timing gears back on, timing chain cover with new gasket and seal. installed new (painted) water pump, and just got the intake on with new gaskets and bolts as well. i did the oil pan about a week ago, and broke a bolt. so i had to take it back off and figure out how i will get it out lol. i figure i can finish off the top and then get back to the oil pan...

some silicone here..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

Looks like you are getting there! Keep it up!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

nice progress! Looking good!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

X2....:agree:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

thanks fellas, i know its boring progress! i need to turn it up soon, i got a little burned working on it but im getting the itch again to get it a lot closer to driving!

while still needing some more parts to finish the motor, i figured i could finish up the panhard bar. i picked up a a 30" solid bar to extend the short cpp one i have now, so i unbolted the passenger side ta to get the panhard bracket in. well i notice its 2 different nuts first of all, but while putting it back together the nut only went so far, then stalled, with an impact gun. so i tried my own strength with a ratchet, and the ratchet broke. i figure somehow the threading is either stripped or something, soooo, i just cut the u bolt in half to get it off. would an autoparts store carry a u bolt that big? i think its 3/4" thick and about 10 inches long maybe? i really dont want to order another u bolt and wait on it to get here, just more and more setbacks!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

well, i went to o reilly this morning and got the biggest supsension u bolt they had, 9/16" thick, 3 3/8" axle size (i think) and 10 5/8" long. they hang down a little further than the other side, but they look like they will work. they are smaller diameter than the one i cut out, but 9/16" should be fine, right?

i got the rearend REALLY close to center, so i will tack weld the extension bar on the panhard, cycle it a few times to make sure its good, then weld it up. should have some pictures this week.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

took care of the panhard bar today, got it all welded up and painted it black. big difference, before the bags set super crooked, my passenger side tire was touching the inner fender in the rear, and my shock tabs was totally out of line. heres some pics..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

man that notch is huge, trying to tuck them 40,s or what? lol. i would seriously change those clamps to a rubber insulated style, may get a little rubbin go on down the road.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

lol, i know its big but i wanted to be damn sure i have clearance if i change my setup later. ya, i proably will switch them out when i get this thing moving, i have a lot of stuff i need to tidy up. i also have a project box im gonna stick the relay in with the grounds to keep them weather proof, and also switch all the connectors to weather proof ones.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

Lookin sweet bro! It's sittin lower than what I though it was going too. We gotta see some pulley pics!!! :lol:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

its never low enough, lol. ill get some pics of the pulleys when I get it a little more assembled, after I get the powdercoated valve covers on ;) I'm aiming for next weekend to come by for the rest of it..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

That's cool. My time may be tight as I have a interview with a oil company on Monday, I may be doing the 60 hour weeks pretty soon. I'll still be at the shop on weekends though.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

ok cool, im usually tied up all week at work anyways, weekends are about the only times i can actually get out of rosenberg lol

i should be pulling the ps pump pulley and bracket off today, and i already have the alt. bracket ready. just need to polish up the fins on the valve covers this week to the right shine.
