Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

wow, they dont look like it
The wheels and tires look tiny...kind of like that burger king commercial with the guy with the tiny hands.
I do like that wheel, but not on that truck, sorry Rob.

No worries, I just borrowed these to check some backspacing and fitment.

Nice wheels, but a little to "flashy" for what I've done to the truck. I think I will keep it "simple" for now anyway, . Here are the tire sizes I'm going with 295 40 20 for the rear and 245 40 20 for the front....

I was looking at the same wheel, but I was trying to get Billet Spec. to poweder coat the face of the wheel black. They kicked it around but decided that they could not do it.

My wheel search continues...

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Rob,

I would maybe think about a 255/40/20 up front. I think it would match better with the 295/40 out back. The 245/40 is just a hair too small. Otherwise the burb is looking great!

I agree... there's a lot at stake for an experiment.

So Hart Rod, have you picked a wheel yet?

In the end, that is a lot of money for an experiment. I would want to make sure that it would turn out nice.
Agree....

Uhhmmm maybe, . I started the installation of the 13" front rotors and modular spindles. Unfortunately, no good pictures to show because it's going to take me longer to clean up the paint shop "goo" than it is to install the brakes,

I know people say it a lot, but I did just go though the whole thread, and all's I can say is; WOW. You are doing some awesome work. Can't wait for more updates.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

HartRob, are your motor mount purches in the back set of holes like an I6 or front holes. I know you had told me you used the ECE mounts before, I think.
Also, whats the closest those DT headers come to the firewall in the back of header. Thanks. I'm looking at using I6 stands with the stock rubber mount for 327 and homemade adapters. This is what a local guy has on his with a . 5.3. I'm looking for header clearance before I buy a set of DT's though. This sets the engine back a little more than yours looks. Thanks. Jim.

They're big block motor mounts. There should be a picture in an earlier part of my thread. There's about 2" of clearance between the headers and the firewall on both sides. Here's a couple of pictures.

Since I've got the front end all tore apart, I pulled the bags and switched the air fitting from 1/4" to 3/8" to match the Accuair manifold.

Rob, I really like the Billets as well - are you trying to stay away from TT2's and/or a set of Coys?

I know they get used like crazy, but I think with your look they would look great! Can't wait to see what you decide - Ronnie

I had the hose made at Napa. It uses the same ends as the factory 67-72 hose and a Weatherhead fitting (#1446: 3/8" is 5/8 18 - 16x1.5) to adapt to the pump.
