Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
I think that's a good idea.
I've learned when on a tight budget, to leave things running and mobile until I am ready to do a full swap. Keeps you from getting the feeling of being overwhelmed, especially when stuff sits all apart and in the way.

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up
Got the P/S pump all mounted after getting the proper pulleys thanks to 68Bowtie
new fan belts as well... New sending unit and gas tank all flushed out. I got the sending unit from Brothers and while pricey is a really nice piece. Got the gas tank mounted back up. It is a tight fit with the DIY4x shackle flip. Clearly they used a pickup to fab it up. Still a nice piece. I also noticed I had forgot to install one of the bolts in the shackle flip years back so I had to drill out another hole and went and retightened all the bolts while I still had access. New J hooks as the old hardware was pretty screwed up. Just about ready to start her back up for the first time since 2009
