Frame & undercarriage advise!
Don't mind my mockup for the exhaust trying to figure out fitting etc. I used what is says on the can on a white background "primer" for the underbelly of my cab. I noticed it was burgundy from the bath coming out of the factory so I decided to go with a close matching colour. Or you looking for...- Cyrillious

Engine start issues
Check and make sure you do not have a vacuum line popped off. I've had that happen and it has done the same thing to me.- Cyrillious

Rims won't fit on rear with drums.
I was doing both but more looking for solutions to my problem in hopes some of you may have come across my kind of problem. Whether its replacing drums or cutting, etc. If not then this can remind people OE style doesn't necessarily mean proper fit. I had to cut some material off both my...- Cyrillious

I wanted to go with wheels that would look proper for the truck from that era and decided to go with the OE style and have more aggressive tires but not go overkill like it's Mad Max. Some day I hope to fit them on with a bit of work grinding those irritable edges discussed here.- Cyrillious

Rims won't fit on rear with drums.
I bought the rims last year and finally came around to putting them on without checking them once I had them in hand first 30 days thinking it's OE style so there shouldn't be an issue for fit but I learned the hard way. I'm taking a break from them and carrying on with other repairs like...- Cyrillious

Rims won't fit on rear with drums.
after ruminating on this conversation I feel I have no choice but to help calm people's anxiousness, I decided to post a pic what it will pretty much look like on the road (minus the paper bags and green tape). I'm about 95% done. Yes this is my Frankenstein Monster of a mess with the...- Cyrillious

It's not even touching the housing. I was conversing with @mlsceo on the mod that needs to be done. One of them is machining down the outer lip with GM stamping of the brake drum because the inner rim is interfering it. It will clear the hub but it has clear the studs.- Cyrillious

I have other repairs that needs addressing for me to get working to drive on the road. I have alternative wheels on that I can test drive and enjoy my project for now. When I feel the urge and motivation to machine down the inner lips interfering with the fit and I get it on I will post on here...- Cyrillious

It's the inner lips not welded on the inside circumference of the rim dish that's interfering with the drums. You'll have to look close in the pic to see the paint chipped off in those corners.- Cyrillious

All four of them took some considerable amount of weights. I did not read how much weights are on each and I do not want to look at those wheels at the moment. Yes those wheels have hurt my feelings! LOL!- Cyrillious

As it is a spacer would not work as the rim cannot get the studs through to have any threads to use.- Cyrillious

Rims won't fit on rear with drums.
I appreciate the words of encouragement! However I'd rather spend time and energy on getting the other issues like the body to get my project/pet/monster on the road. Plus I mounted tires on my temporary wheels to get this thing mobile. If I have motivation before the end of the year I can quote...- Cyrillious

For now temporary rims(pictured) mounted with good used tires and torqued them on the Suburban.- Cyrillious
