Nice looking project. Can you give some closer pictures of that roof line. That looks great.

Gobuffalo · 11-23-2014, 01:06 AM

We had a marriage! After 3 years of separation the body and frame are back together.
Now for the 10000 other parts that need to go in.

Gobuffalo · 11-23-2014, 01:10 AM

Don't try this at home !!!

Now, what to do with a custom made Suburban body cart that works awesome?

Thank you very much! I have a better picture up on my build thread. I'll be posting lots of close up pics before the cab is skim coated

Back on all four wheels finally.

Only has 3 of the 9 leafs in the front now since it is no longer a grain truck.

Sits about right but added a supplemental air bag in front just so I can adjust the height a little as the new leafs settle.

Do you have a name for her yet? lol Big Bertha! Or Olga! Such a massive truck & undertaking as well. That's a one-of-a-kind truck, that's for sure!

Maybe just "Bertha"....Nobody has to tell anyone Bertha is big.

creedscustoms · 11-23-2014, 01:21 PM

I put power disc brakes on my 69 gmc 2500.

magwakeenercew2jh · 11-23-2014, 01:38 PM

Got it straight.

creedscustoms · 11-23-2014, 01:39 PM

Thank you!

jscs94 · 11-23-2014, 06:25 PM

Ordered 5" lowering springs for the rear & some wipers from Randy "teeitup"

colgad · 11-24-2014, 01:45 AM

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. Here's a pic of when I first got it.

colgad · 11-24-2014, 02:18 AM

No name yet. Working on finding new booster and master cyl then running split brake system as the C40's and 50 had a single system. So running new lines this week if time permits. Turkey Rod run is this week in Daytona Beach so .....

Gravityamp · 11-24-2014, 03:06 AM

That is way cool .
nice work

Peace

Andy4639 · 11-24-2014, 05:16 AM

Got both new seats mounted and wired tonight. The six way, lumbar and heaters all work. I wired the heaters so that if the switch is left on and you unbuckle the seat belt they will automatically cutoff.

Got my frame back on the ground. Had 2 flat tires previously, so technically it would not roll anywhere. Sorry for the cell phone pics.

after a couple attempts at sanding polishing the turbine/hurricane/? rims I decided to powder coat chrome with black recess between the fins. Got the chrome on. Now I need to clear coat and then tape and put the black p/coat on.

CST10 · 11-24-2014, 05:55 PM

Changed the pushrod cover gaskets and valve cover gasket yesterday. Today I cahnged the oil pressure sensor. Now no oil leaks, yea.

colgad · 11-24-2014, 09:08 PM

C50 new springs and supplemental air bags and bowtie installed.

Tinkermc · 11-24-2014, 10:21 PM

Well I hate to admit it but it was 77 here today so all I did was drive it. Wed high may be as high as 40 with snow likely.
