ruffrida2005 · 01-25-2010, 12:20 AM

Heck I would ride this short bus.

70 Suburban · 01-25-2010, 12:24 AM

im sure you would.....

70 Suburban · 01-26-2010, 09:53 AM

picked up my motor plates.... local shop cut them for me cheap I hope they work with factory a/c braket if not then ill make somthin happen. If its not to cold I will start on the engine swap. However i did look at the dash and I think i can use the 64-66. I kinda like the way it looks when the stuff is test fit.

So the engine is in the frame. Started the wiring. I will be using all factory wiring (08) i want to use the auto dimming lights and daytime runnginlights ect. I also am installing the 08 colomn in there too. Looks and feels great. Only problem i have is with the brake pedal in the way. I think i can shift the colomn just off center to compinsate for it and still look good. If not the i will do somthin to the pedal shaft. I am using the 72 booster mount for now untill i can see what else will work.. Btw the stock booster and brackets are for sale.

How can you set the colum off center? Takes lots of pics as you go!

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 12:38 AM

I have the cross brace from the 08 I am goin to cut off the colomn mount and build a bracket.

my67chevytruck · 02-11-2010, 01:06 PM

sounds like your making some good progress. keep at it.

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 01:09 PM

Its slow. I want to get the frame streeeetched soon.

*highperf4x4* · 02-11-2010, 08:50 PM

Me too! Let's git-r-done!

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 09:01 PM

i will be looking at using another frame that I have. if so then I will be starting on this asap. line next weekend I will be stretching it if not then I will have to just get the drive shaft made up and start driving it

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 09:57 PM

here is a small update.. engine in. wiring started. colomn simi mounted. dash kinda in place

**DPowers** · 02-11-2010, 10:14 PM

Looks good- how much firewall clearance you gonna have?

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 10:17 PM

lots. about 4+ inches

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 10:24 PM

there is alot to use on the original harness. like the headlight switch dash switch. not sure how the brake lites know when to come on yet. I found out that the fuep pumpharness goes into the abs/roll over control to turn the pump off.. well i cut all that out so I will have to rewire some stuff...im not so sure i want to use the a/c now because it so damn big. but i like the factory dual climate option... any ideas.

**DPowers** · 02-11-2010, 10:39 PM

Maybe it won't be as noticeable once everything is in place and buttoned up??

70 Suburban · 02-11-2010, 10:42 PM

true i was thinkin of moving my whole dash forward

Alan's Classic · 02-12-2010, 01:11 AM

I can't help with electronics, but I can set back and watch this come together. Thinking out of the box. Awesome job!!

70 Suburban · 02-12-2010, 08:46 AM

Thanks alan your build has been an insperation for ideas here..

283 Man · 02-12-2010, 10:10 AM

nice build!!!!

70 Suburban · 02-12-2010, 10:41 AM

thanks I hope to have some real progress for yall

**Chevy Fleetside** · 02-12-2010, 10:58 AM

I had an 88 Suburban that I cut up and scrapped. I noticed that the frame is straight and lonnnnnng. Maybe if you come across one you can use that frame instead of making yours longer. Just a thought. Looks like you might have to much time into the one you have going anyway.

70 Suburban · 02-12-2010, 11:03 AM

i have a 91 sub but I think it would take more little modifing then it would be just to use my extra frame and just reattatch the back half. I want to use the factory cab mounts for the extended cab.

**Captainfab** · 02-13-2010, 02:56 AM

I would stay with the older frames.......it would be easier IMO.
