Looks like the first thing is to buy a couple of jugs of CLR and give it a nice bath, inside and out. Immediate plans are to round up a full set of seats, and get it running with a 2000 4.3 vortec/700R4 I have laying around. This will make it driveable, and of course easy to move around while I work on the body. Future major plans will include a '63 C-20 frame swap (which I have already), a more suitable ENGINE and possibly a double-hump dash conversion ... |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Nice looking burb...looks like all the important trim parts are there and straight. What kinda powerplant you looking at?

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
When I got home from work yesterday, I started by working on hatch hinges.
They are a little stiff, so a good soaking is in order..... - - http://i48.tinypic.com/2hnywzp.jpg - http://i45.tinypic.com/drco3k.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/a09r2q.jpg - Looks like these bolts have never been off, the threads are nice and clean... - http://i49.tinypic.com/21jsrqq.jpg - http://i46.tinypic.com/2qs86kj.jpg |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
This rear area is in good shape ... a little flaky paint, and surface rust ...
- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ed7ae0.jpg - http://i49.tinypic.com/bj0wh.jpg - First soak down with WD ... I have WD in gallon form at the shop I will use later... - http://i48.tinypic.com/34nmm35.jpg - Now, needed to figure out why gate would open. Bill thought it was a rod issue... http://i49.tinypic.com/vfeh3l.jpg - But after removing seat, and opening inspection cover... - http://i46.tinypic.com/2s0eczk.jpg - Quickly realized, it was just 'locked' .... - http://i45.tinypic.com/35bsbpg.jpg - Hard to tell in pic, but in 'lock', the rod pass thru plate, rather than pushin on it... - http://i49.tinypic.com/10d9w7q.jpg - http://i46.tinypic.com/2uo2t95.jpg - Wow, what a nice seat frame ... :lol: - http://i46.tinypic.com/316um1t.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/jae3qo.jpg |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
What a differnce it makes just blowing the leafs out. Burbs are cool.
I think I would like to take a ride down to your place with Luca when my truck is up and running. I am hoping to have it going by the end of next month. That is if it is road worthy also. |

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Chief, your Burb looks a lot like mine. Including the wasp nest inside. Extra tires, leaves and asst. other trash.

Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Cool :thumbs:
Glad to see you got it. It doesn't look bad at all. I've seen way worse. |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Cool addition Chief !!!! Looks like it has Washington Plates ... I was gonna say I have a posi rearend out of a 63 GMC 1/2 ton pickup with around 3:55 gears I would've sold you for the burban if its leaf .... Don't know if same or different like on the chevys 62 / 63 ... I'm in gresham , Oregon and could've met and loaded into the burb ... Would've made you a great deal $150.00 ... Day late and a dollar short ... Good Luck on the rig !!!! Always enjoy your builds !!!
:metal: |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
Thanks man !!
Well, my plan is to do a little (if possible) every day after work. I stopped at the local Walmart, and picked up some supplies .... :metal: http://i45.tinypic.com/2zxwevr.jpg - I decided it needed a decent set of matching rollers, so my daughter and I cleaned up the stock wheels off the '63 ..... - - http://i48.tinypic.com/s2qq7n.jpg - - One of the four cleaned .... - - http://i45.tinypic.com/osec69.jpg - - http://i47.tinypic.com/wmlpz.jpg - - I noticed all four wheels have these marks on them ... Are these factory markings ?? - - http://i46.tinypic.com/23mm0zp.jpg - - The worst one .... - - http://i46.tinypic.com/34488t0.jpg - - All clean ... wheels have a nice 'patina' on them (:lol:) .. if only the body did ... - - http://i48.tinypic.com/34pj6h3.jpg - - It looks like the body was originally white, but there is also blue showing. In fact, it looks like they painted the trim (and obviously more) blue at one time. It was late, so I hit one spot with an SOS .... - - http://i49.tinypic.com/ezk3fs.jpg - - http://i45.tinypic.com/x0scbo.jpg - - Hopefully tonight, I can give it a nice first bath ... |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
I took my stock wheels to the shop and busted out my old COATS tire machine ... I've had this old thing for like 25 years ... the air cylnder is getting sluggish, but still works for ol school wheels ... I had some old bias plys laying around. 600-15's , good tread, but cracked. Perfect rollers for now ...
- - http://i48.tinypic.com/2ln9zk7.jpg - - When I pulled the rear wheels off .... :lol::lol: I found this ... - - http://i49.tinypic.com/23usnso.jpg - The drums and rear shoes were gone...both sides...the shocks were disconnected at the bottom, and swung upward. Probably because they were bottoming out, due to the springs behind heated for days. There is some kind of bag in there too ... :lol: (trailing arm previously bent ;)) - - http://i46.tinypic.com/334kwut.jpg - - Looks cool ... I grew up building lowriders for people, so here ya go !! - http://i49.tinypic.com/x2nmt4.jpg - http://i45.tinypic.com/2lu3mf5.jpg - - It like PS, with skinny tires ... ;) |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
I've been getting off late this week, but I managed to catch some light yesterday.
Just using a scotch brite, and soap n water ... I cleaned half the hood and grill ... Looks like a see "white' and the end of the tunnel ... - - http://i49.tinypic.com/34fgygi.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/9601zn.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/2gtrxuo.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/2ur9h02.jpg - http://i46.tinypic.com/qoj5ua.jpg - http://i48.tinypic.com/mkj1bl.jpg - - - Are these windshield squirters stock for this GMC ?? - http://i46.tinypic.com/28bv0vl.jpg |
Re: My '62 GMC Suburban is on it way !!
looks like a great start, is that duct tape on the front fenders or something?
