Thanks for sharing those connectors Chief. I hadn't seen them before.
Great detail!

Very nice work Chief.....especially on the tube bending. What brand of tube bender are you using? Do you like it? I need to get a better one.

I have two ...

I use a larger Matco one, and just picked up a smaller, Blue Point one for a little tighter bends on smaller tube.

I will post pics and prt numbers

I wanted to switch it up a bit, and move to the back of the Burban, and start the mock up of the rear floor crossmembers and fuel tank.

Since I have extra crossmembers, I decided to add an extra one to the rear floor area behind the axle, to support the wood floor, the fuel tank and eventually the rear most seat ....

great work ..stay at it

**Advanced Design** · 01-21-2015, 01:25 PM

I like the inclinometer pics...making it easy for us to understand.
Is the roadmaster tank fill on the left side?
As always great work Chief.

**Captainfab** · 04-29-2015, 01:38 AM

Any more progress Chief?

I'm sure you have a lot going on but thought I'd ask anyway.

Hey Captain ... I sure do.

Yes, the past year has been quite a wild ride.

I am now sweeping up the dust that settled a couple of months ago, and filling the whole I was in !!

To bring this back up to date, I found some old pics on my PC from when I left off ... I must of been bored here:

**ChiefRocka** · 10-14-2015, 09:29 AM

I moved on to the fuel tank mount.

I want the tank to 'locate' off of chassis, rather than the body (as the Roadmaster was)

Location was marked, and a crossmember out of 2x2 was cut to length

Thanks guys !

**ChiefRocka** · 10-15-2015, 09:21 AM

The next step was to lift body again, and begin cut out of floor pan, and begin rust repair .....

**ChiefRocka** · 10-15-2015, 09:29 AM

The following are some pics of the floor cutout of Burb 1. A good portion of this floor was still in good shape, so I will be using most of it in my Burb 2 ...

Always cool to have the family involved in saving one. Appreciate the updates Chief.

jonzcustomshop · 01-15-2016, 09:08 PM

have you figured out the shift detent yet? I see like mine, yours has 5 shift positions, and for a th 350 we need 6, and a 700/200 r4 we need 7.....
my auto column was a powerslide...
looks like yours is a hydromatic?

All I ended up doing was trim a little off of the actual steering column tube ... To allow more travel.

The magic comes from the adjustability of the Lokar linkage that allows throw ratio adjustments.

Work really well actually
