I used the existing top bolt hole loactions, and drilled the two outers for the wedge cuts ...
Weld nuts on underside. Final grind/sand will come later before Powder ... - - - - http://i59.tinypic.com/dzx99e.jpg - - - - http://i61.tinypic.com/24zavb4.jpg |

Next up was the additional tranny cooler off of the Roadmaster ... might as well use it. Bypassing the radiator all together, and running a large cooler in front is the preferred way, but my tranny temps in the burban should be marginal. I will be towing with it, but nothing more than 5000 lbs or so. - - - First step was mounting of the cooler. I didn't get pics of that, but basically I just reshaped the aluminum brackets to fit the core.

- Second line in. This one received just a bubble flare on the lower end, as it will slip into the existing 3/8" rubber line ... - - - http://i62.tinypic.com/4ql9z.jpg - - http://i62.tinypic.com/25jgthh.jpg - - http://i58.tinypic.com/maxvo2.jpg - - http://i60.tinypic.com/2coq8sg.jpg |

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Those lines look great.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Oh yeah...nice line bending! Really like a neatly routed and bent line...skill and patience.

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
The Engine Oil cooler was next. The stock lines did reach, but were slacked tight ... so I wanted it a little more cleaner. New hardlines, some push-loc fittings, and we were good ...

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
You have some nice attention to detail!
|
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Thanks for sharing those connectors Chief. I hadn't seen them before.
Great detail! |
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
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 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 |

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
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 .... - - Temporary shims for spacing the body mounts .... - - http://i58.tinypic.com/2rqbo15.jpg - - - http://i62.tinypic.com/2eek6l3.jpg - - - http://i59.tinypic.com/2rhb3ib.jpg - - - http://i57.tinypic.com/10nrnrb.jpg - - - |
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
The "extra" crossmember was added by using these nut inserts (left over from some Aluminum truck box installs ... I save everything ;) ) This allowed me to place the crossmember in a different spot other than the factory holes.

Again, this plastic tank is from the Roadmaster, and has the built in fuel pump ... - - - http://i60.tinypic.com/iz2rlf.jpg - - - http://i59.tinypic.com/n1qxde.jpg |
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
The tank needs to sit as high as possible ... so a little trimming of the front crossmeber will give me 2"... which is better than nothing

Trimming the crossmember to clearance for fuel lines, and raised section of tank ....

Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Thanks ....
That's the plan ! |
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
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. |
Re: '62 GMC BurbMaster "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
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 !!
