In the process of working on 1966 GMC Suburban.
Pretty original drive train/suspension, non-original engine.

Just purchased a 66’ 351E engine with 51K miles, not started In several years.

Do you know of good source for engine rebuild parts, for the GMC V6.

Your PM box is full.

Tinkered on Crustine a bit thursday as the weather has been nice an warm. Always had to much fuel pressure from the carter pump so installed a new regulator and adjusted it down to 4.5 psi. She's due for vc gaskets and a good tune up so we'll git on that tomorrow hopefully.

Ta2Don · 04-19-2020, 05:33 PM

Lookin' Good TJ. Call me.

Thanks man! Will do! I'll try and call ya tomorrow evening. Got a cell phone with a 458 area code.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-02-2020, 03:02 AM

Been taking Crustine on the back roads alot lately. She goes in places most would never take a 2wd that's fer sure. Climbed I hill the other day I never thought would be possible without a load. Snagged a picture that I thought was super cool. Filtered it a bit to look like it was taken in the 60's.

straight6chevyguy · 05-04-2020, 01:19 PM

Cool pic.
Glad to see crustine still getting drove lol.

**TJ's Chevy** · 03-15-2021, 02:42 AM

Well Crustine's heater core finally went out after what I assume to be a good 50 years. Radiator I put in a few years back had a small leak as well. So needless to say she got a new radiator, heater core, hoses, and thermostat. Happily running at 180 degrees. Will be changing out my redneck coolant bottle shortly as well haha Nothing else to update other than she's been driving and running great. Brake booster went out as well so I'll be doing brakes here shortly and some new steering as well.

**Palf70Step** · 03-15-2021, 07:45 AM

Glad to see the ole girl is still kick'n!

Thanks! Me too! Gonna order a new booster and master cylinder later this week. Will be nice to have properly working brakes here soon haha

LT7A · 03-18-2021, 02:34 AM

I like this truck. I'm glad you're still working on it and driving it.

**TJ's Chevy** · 04-18-2021, 02:04 AM

Well Crustine is off the ground for some LONG overdue repairs.

Been running on questionable brakes and steering for to long.

Already have a new booster and master cylinder painted and ready.

Now onto getting measurements for new wheel cylinders, shoes, springs, and drums. Then onto fixing some rather loose steering.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-04-2021, 02:09 AM

Well time flies for sure, almost 4 months later and Crustine is finally back on the road. Was a chore getting the brake pads and drums for this 3/4 ton truck but luckily I was able to get everything. Did new master cylinder, booster, hoses, wheel cylinders, pads, springs, adjusters, and drums. Needless to say the truck stops ALOT better now that all the brakes actually work. haha
I also replaced the fuel tank as the old one had a crack in the filler neck. I bought this tank new a few years ago for the 66 but went with a frame tank on that one so it worked out well.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-04-2021, 02:15 AM

Also I'm finally gonna work on getting these bumper guards on and cleaning this valve cover to do a pcv setup.
I also replaced the red tool box with this white one I had sitting around and I'm working on some rather modern reverse lights. haha!
More to come soon guys! Steering is in the plans for this winter as I'm itching to get back on the 66 but had to have this back on the road.

**Palf70Step** · 08-04-2021, 03:21 AM

Glad to see you back on one of them again TJ.

Thanks! I'm glad as well. I'll have some updates here in a few.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-05-2021, 12:23 AM

Well I got the bumper guards on tonight as well as cleaned and painted the "new" valve cover for the driver side of the engine so I can finally run my pcv setup. Just doing a sealed breather with a hose to the air filter base.
