Some progress pics.
 

Ok the last couple of days we removed the brush guard and the running boards. I also tore down the top end to get ready for the new dizzy, carb,intake,fuel pump and water pump. I am still contemplating headers. The rust so far has been what I expect with no surpises. I think the Gm crate engine looks extremely clean and and hopeful of its outcome. It is still wet in the pics.

Lookin good!

Picked up some seats today. There is another thread about what will be needed for installation that I will provide the link to once the mods move it to the burb board.

Re: Some progress pics.
 

I saw your seat thread first and was gonna ask for more pics of your burb, but then I found this thread! Now my wife wants my Sub green!

Re: Some progress pics.
 

Weird thing is everything I find is green out of about 6 trucks all were a green variation but one. When I tell my wife I found a truck the first question is,"Is it green?" then the laughing starts.

Re: Some progress pics.
 

I get the same thing, seems i come across alot of green trucks n old cars.
Lets just say green isn`t my wifes favorite color, so i really enjoy when people compliment the color on my GREEN Sub.

Re: Some progress pics.
 

Green is my favorite color, so it's all good for me :)

Green ain't a bad thang

Green suburbans are the best! Anyone who tells you differently is just jealous! Green trucks must have been THE thing in Texas back in the 70s. Out of all the trucks I have bought most of mine have been green as well, followed by orange. Ironically for as common as Ochre trucks are I have never bought one of those. Great job so far. Looking forward to seeing more.

Looking good & love the green too. My favorite color...

Re: Some progress pics.
 

From what my father in law tells me, greens and oranges were the most common. My Burb is "Terrace Blue" which everyone else calls "Seafoam Green", and the front driver's fender is the metallic orange underneath green. And go figure, my FIL had a 72 LWB that was, you guessed it, GREEN and white!

Thanks for posting this pic so I could see what it would look like with a white top.

Re: Some progress pics.
 

Looking good!!!

Re: Some progress pics.
 

I'm glad you didn't mind me posting the picture. When I repaint my burb I am thinking of adding the white along the bottom as well. It just helps break up the large expanse of the main body color.

Throw up some more pics StreetSmart!

Well I made a little progress today and did not turn a wrench. I sold the non-running 72 C20 Highlander big block truck. Sometimes it is hard to part with a truck but it will help fund the other projects. I think the 69 is next on the chopping block. My kids have gone from ages 4-7 and 7-10 since I have had it and are very fond of the truck which will make it a hard one. I did get a bunch of parts for the burb from the brown Santa a couple of weeks ago that I hope to install soon. Stay tuned.

come on man...you know the deal....:wop:

:lol:

Re: Some progress pics.
 

Thanks for the invite, I have a ton of pics on my camera but been real lazy to down load. i have my whole engine conversion to post.
I had a 71 K5 blazer same color as your green Sub.

Got the motor torn down the long block and picked up some Coy's and an Optima battery off Craigslist for a steal .I am going to order some Sanderson Headers in a few days andd start putting the motor back together. Got new carb, intake dizzy, fuel pump, water pump and hoses and belts.

Re: Some progress pics.

Nice!!! Still my favorite wheel for these trucks!

Re: Some progress pics.
 

I had a couple of broken exhaust bolts and had to remove a head to get them out so I removed both heads. This is what the block and heads look like. Any suggestions as to what you might do if you had it this far apart? I do have a new Edelbrock carn and intake and a new distributor. I was removing the exhaust manifold to replace with headers when I rean ito my problem.
