Wow man, it's a pain in the butt but it will be so sweet when its done! It's a good thing you have this build thread because the only people that will appreciate this are folks that have built their own rig themselves. When I built my old Suburban, which is like the Taj Mahal in comparison to...

That's awesome!

I won't be there because of distance but please upload lots of pictures! I'll be following this thread.

Rebuild and tapped of for ram assist steering... power steering went out the other day so I thought I'd do a few upgrades while I was in there.

Power steering went out so I thought since I'd have the pump out I may as well pull the box too, rebuild it and do some upgrades... I drilled and tapped it for future ram assist steering. I have a dana 60 in great shape that I'll be putting under the truck soon. I'll do the hydro assist then.

Sounds awesome man! I'll be watching out for those pics!

That sounds like a killer build. I built a 203/205 twin stick dub and have 2 line locks in my 70 suburban. It turns on post! I love to see and hear about all these knucklehead builds! [emoji2]

I passed by the hills this afternoon, I thought I'd look for the blown off chunk of my rim and found it. [emoji2]

Says I don't have permission to edit my post... this picture didn't go through so I'll try to add it as a reply. Here goes.

I changed my tire after blowing it out romping through the hills near my place. I did a bit more damage than I initially thought... totally worth it though!

Oh, and I used my front hitch for the first time the other day. If you don't have one get one! It works so good in tight spots!

I was rippin through the hills near my place and as I drifted around a fairly smooth curve my tire blew out !POW! I limped out to the pavement and called a buddy to help me out... my spare was at home (I wasn't planning on romping around that day) by sheer coincidence he was less than a mile...

All good points and I can attest to there validity... my stock engine mounts tore apart in about 6 months or so which tells me there's a lot of twisting that's trying to happen but can't and thus the mounts tear... I do have a crossover bar between my shock hoops attached with urethane...

Yes to the 65 W300!

Cool !

That's awesome man! My story is similar in that I turned every bolt myself etc. etc. I really dig old Detroit iron! I'll be watching this build! I have a build thread 70 K20 Suburban if you're interested.

Cool. I had a feeling that it was more about the rules than the hose itself... this particular guy is one of those pushy know it all types that made it sound like every car needed steel lines to even run. As a matter of principle I don't usually take one persons advice as gospel... hence my...

Is it okay to run soft lines that distance? I've heard it's not but the guy who brought it up runs a drag car so maybe its only an issue in that world.

I still haven't added water storage or my pressure pump but I do have my diy tube over tube heat exchanger in and plumbed. I'm curious to see others ideas on water storage... following.

I got a new ZZ4 350cid (5.7L) crate motor for less than half that price, granted it was an insanely lucky find... I'm just sayin.
