How it be Gray? Haven't talked to you in a while! I will have more pics as soon as I get the rig back to the house. What have you been working on lately?

grayharville · 05-12-2012, 03:40 PM

Just building my Swb, check out my thread on how to build a truck out of junk

An update....

Got the burb running and tranny adjusted out. Had new exhaust ran. Next thing will be to change springs out. I am taking off the Skyjacker 4 in spring lift, and putting about an 2 1/2 - 3 inch lift back on. I will then be selling the Skyjacker kit, which has about 10 miles on it, just a little high for this DD. I will then be replacing the entire front clip, with a 67 Chevy front end. Will add new aux battery tray and front replacement bumper as well.

In the pic, is my first trip to buy Diesel fuel. Those are 235/85/16's on the tank, and trying to decide to go up to 255/85/16's in the same tire, which is Cooper Discoverer ST's. Really like the tread, just not sure about size? Feel free to give opinion, because might help me decide.

grayharville · 07-06-2012, 02:13 AM

I think 285/75/16 wrapped on those skinny steels would look tough.

I know the board wants me to post in for sale section, but really was just talking out loud about maybe selling it. I will PM you!

Hey Tommy, how bout a side shot to see the rear axle centerline.

50bomb · 07-14-2012, 01:36 AM

Something about a 4x4 with tall skinny tires just gets me excited. Definately tough but classy and tasteful!

Nah, need some 35-15.5/R 15's on it

Nice and fat.

Glad to see you out driving it! What mufflers did you go with?

superduty_59 · 08-02-2012, 01:06 PM

Nice swap! Are you going to add a turbo? Gassers are ok for most but when you want to have it all then you step up to diesel. You can't tell I'm a diesel tech can you? Looks like a fairly straight forward swap. Close to the same dementions as a small block. I too like the 67-68 front clips especially the GMC's.

67_SS396 · 11-14-2012, 05:45 PM

If you decide to go with a turbo on that thing, I know someone with a complete setup.

The Burb is looking good Tommy. I think I would like it a little lower too, but you know how short I am...

Hey Leon....I think your right about the height.. You might be a little feller, but your big in my eyes...Good to hear from you bud. When you coming down south again? Talk to you later.

jbclassix · 11-15-2012, 11:46 AM

Hey, did you use SBC perches and BBC mounts or did you do something different to get the 6.2L to fit?

hey bud....I moved the engine cradle forward about 1 7/8in, mostly for the 700r4 swap, but it actually helped the motor fit very nicely. I basically mounted the 6.2 to the stock sbc chevy engine cradle with sbc engine mounts in between. Everything cleared very good. let me know if you have any more questions.

jbclassix · 11-16-2012, 12:04 AM

Thank's bud! My bro wants to pull the 6.2L out of his dually and put it in his 71, so that helps! they both have SM465's so it will be cake!

As a matter of fact we are headed to Houston for Thanksgiving. If we have time on the way back maybe I will give you a call and we can go somewhere and have a soda or bite to eat.
