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.

Yup That is why I am working that way

PLENTY of things that need to be done first anyway

Like picking up that 14bolt from you

Got the 35" rollers mounted on my old slot mags.

Total invest in rims/tires $200


I am excited to get them on the truck

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
