10-4 on the container trip to DK. Yep I was referring to the Sweden trip. Very cool. I guess I didnt realize there was a bridge. The one time I made the trek it was by Ferry. Couldnt fly outta Copenhagen due to some kinda strike. This was spring of '85 iirc. So we went to Malmo and caught a puddle jumper to Stockholm.

So cool that you drive it so much with the high fuel costs over there!

Thats cool.
They built the bridge a while back makes it nice with drag racing track 45 min. away.
The 283 does pretty good milage wise 10 kilometers per liter with the SM420 trans.
I would like to get a hold of a t5 from a Camaro. Just hasent goten there yet.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Just got tired of the velocity stack, added a cheap air cleaner bottom and the K&N filter from the stack with the original air cleaner.

Been a while. Just enjoying driving it. Had to have a picture of the 3 together. Wiped it down with boiled linseed oil and white terpintine. Works great.

They are not all mine, there are quite a few at my buddys shop. I think he has about 10 of them now from 57-66 couple panels and mostly stepsides. We love this era truck. Bring them back to life with all their "Battle scars" but working perfect mechanically. I just couldent resist the photo op. There was one more but we dident have time to put it out there for the picture. All 4 are on the road. Now there is the other 6 or so.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Great pic!!

I did the boiled linseed oil on mine a couple months ago. I really liked the results too! I heard about it from DD Speed Shop on Youtube.

It ended up being nice with just a bit of rain at the start. around 200 miles so made a good trip. Not to bad on gas mileage either, around 20 MPG. Got to love the 283 with Q jet.

Great pic!

That sure would be a sight seeing that on the road in Danmark. Heck, they are getting pretty rare over here.

It is the only 62 and I think there are like one 65 and maybe a couple newer.
Sure get lots of looks either they love it or think it is the ugliest thing, No in between there.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Been a while since I did an update on what has been done, not a lot but every bit helps. New rocker covers makes it a bit more period correct.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Did the front sway bar from POL. I would think when they make a year specific 60-62 they might have made it so the original "extra holes" from shock placement would be able to be used. I understand that it is nice with the closer to the wheel and all that but when it is there already?

Did the wide band sensor as well.
Makes it a bit easier to see where I'm at on the carb adjustments.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Getting a bit closer to finishing up the stereo I had done by Gary Tayman.com Excellent work on the restoration of the original 62 AM radio to a modern system. Now just have to try and remember all the combinations for the controls and clean up the wiring.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Got a bit more done. just been driving the heck out of it, not really doing much.
Got the instrument panel in with the new tach and clockworks great.
Got plans on a 327 for a winter project needs a bit more torque than the 283 to pull the OD on the 5 speed.
