Re: 1948 Suburban - finishing what dad started...

hey guys - had another productive day in the shop yesterday. the progress is less visual, but that means we're getting closer to blowing the burban back apart to move toward final assembly.

Stuff done this round:
headers removed/put back on (trialed a different set) ready for exhaust
column shift linkage hooked up
rear bumpers sucked up, mounted to frame
under dash mounting plate built for electrical, ecm, etc.
brake master cylinder and resevor mounted
drive shaft ordered
newer style upper and lower control arms ordered
reconfiguring the radiator was discussed
other misc items where done, but i was there on 5hrs of sleep so...

Our plan is get together (just the boys) and reorganize the shop a little. draw up a plan of attack for the truck as we inch closer to pulling the body from the frame. next meeting for the group is April 20th.

Thanks for all the support and reading - John (and the rest of the Jutte's)
