Cool beans!! (Following) Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

I made up my shifters with knobs and the rubber boot from JB Custom Fab. They look kinda wonky in the positions they're in... when they're all in the center position (neutral) they look nicely aligned. The doubler shifter (far left) is shorter and angled differently... in my mind it made sense...

Still working out little bugs like carburetor adjustment a couple leaky brake fittings but the transmission seems good which was a big "??!!??!!??" In my mind. I drove out to LA the other day and it did good except for the soft brake peddle. In an attempt to get all the air out of the brake...

Well guys, I'm back!!! It's alive and running! As per any extended build I still have some bugs to work out like a tune up and alignment, connect the parking brake cables etc. But I've driven it around the neighborhood and I went a silly and hit some big ol deep dips near my place and my truck...

Well I have a build thread "70 K20 Suburban", I mention it because it won't mean anything to the casual reader that I drove my rig about 10 miles in the last 2 days... IT'S ALIVE!!! OMG I'm back! Still have some bugs to work out but all and all its running good for having sat for so long. Its...

Nice! Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Had to straighten my axle housing (No pics) but I used a friend's 50ton press at his shop. I had the center section put together with parts I supplied - all the bearings, shims and seals and an Eaton E-locker! I brought it home and assembled the knuckles and hubs with new wear parts and some...

Aahhh, yeah that makes more sense lol! Thanks. Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

I forgot to post this... I put it up on Facebook but not here. When putting the cab back on the chassis there was prying that needed done so I dove under the truck with a 3' pry bar. Pro tip: don't pull a pry bar towards your face because it might slip and smash your face! [emoji95]...

Thank you, I appreciate that... I don't understand "waterborne solution", can you clarify? Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

I'm gonna try to make this one. My build is nearly "complete" (mechanically not esthetically) and I wanna start testing everything out on some easy runs... getting stranded is one thing, getting stranded 30 miles from the pavement on a rocky 45° slope is completely different lol! Jonah...

Any upcoming meet ups on the schedule now that the holidays are passed? Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Built a steering column out of 2 junk yard columns and a 1" heim joint to support the top. I my Achilles heal is automotive electrical... so in an effort to clean up the mess I've made over the years under my dash I decided to get on YouTube and get ideas and I came up with this... And...

Getting ready to marry the cab and chassis... Finally! In the process I found a few little issues that need to be addressed. For example they apparently don't male a bearing kit for the bottom of the steering column despite the fact that the description explicitly said it would. So I spent too...

I have a build thread that shows the interior... look up "70 K20 Suburban" Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Any updates? How's the project coming along? Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

All the people at the counter say "ahhh man, idk about 37's with a 44... look for a 60..." I'm like dang, I just got my Eaton E-locker and crossover / hysteer suff... I'm glad to hear that others are good with their 44's. I will say this though, I'm in a suburban so they might not be wrong...

That's bananas man! What gears are you running to turn those monsters? Chromoly axles? 1 ton axles? I'm intrigued. I'm thinking about going from 35's to 37's but I'm not sure my dana44 front axle will suffice. Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Awesomeness! I went with a 203/205 doubler too. I replaced my th350 with a 4 speed, and yeah those new driveline angles are nice.
