I have a rear a/c unit I salvaged from a previous burb
It had barn doors and a rear spoiler.
The bottom of the barn doors rotted. Water came in the hinge holes.
Water came in the holes that mounted the spoiler.
I am amazed mine is in the good shape it's in. It has no spoiler.
Going out of town...
I removed the scraps that passed for carpeting when I got it.
The rockers are pretty ate up, but my plan is cutting out the rot and welding in some box tubing.
My only welding experience was in A&P school in 88-89.
Gotta start somewhere.
The drivers side behind the rear wheel is rotted, but...
I just bought 4" springs from BDS for the rear of my suburban.
The rear sags enough new, let alone on near 40 y.o. springs.
Love to go with the ORD custom springs, but I can't justify the cost on this truck.
I'll post pics when I get them on.
Edit: this auto correct makes me look like a retard...
It's not had a rear window since I've owned it. I bought one a few years back when I was thinking about getting it running, but came across my old K5.
Ordered some goodies for it last week. Some came in yesterday...
5 new Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZ's. 33x10.5-15.
Gm accessory drive...
I bought this around '12 or '13 I think.
Drove it a few years until the trans died in '17. Yes, a 700r4. Never again...
It's been sitting every since, basically just a storage unit...it's covered in moss, mold, and rust...
Here's the specs from the guy I bought them from.
I lost my turbo manifold in a move. Try as I may I've not been able to locate one, so I'm getting rid of my diesel stuff.
They are still wrapped, I've never used them. It's a ran DB-2 military pump and injectors.
$300 each for the pump or...
Dad's 87 R10 with 305, th350c had 2.73 in it.
His 86 K5, 305, 700r5 had 3.08.
He always bought the ones no one else bought. He just didn't know better didn't either at the time, I was off doing the Harley thing.
A young guy on another site did his. He's up in Michigan, catches a lot of air when he gets time.
He has a metal shop, specializes in GM.
Adam Dueling, Dueling Designs. Very creative fellow.
Been thinking on whether or not to sell my wrecked K5.
One of my Bros and I picked up a 79 chassis. Crustier than I like, but solid.
It whupped both of our be-hinds just getting it to my house.
I have to face up that I'm old and just can't do this stuff anymore.
I feel it will appeal to a young...
Air them down, they'll be fine.
Had wranglers on my jeep in the 80s. Learned about airing down and about lockers AFTER burying it to the frame. Lol
I was a kid, didn't know all these things yet.
I've had both. Imho, the 6.2 has a certain "cool" factor, such as it is.
Back before US 17 was 4 laned, I've almost killed myself with a R10 with a 305 and 2.73 gears.
No ass for passing. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Got great mileage though. Tailgate down, 21 mpg without overdrive (Th350c) on the...
