That's nuts! ... Glad you passed. Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

That's cool! 2x3? I replaced my rusted out rockers with some 2x3 120 wall. Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Reading your comment reminds of this video... [emoji23] Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

I hear ya. When I got mine I went in halves with my pops, and it was a Craigslist find so double win for me! Lol... my dad has never used it, I think he likes the idea of having one if he ever needs one. So far he hasn't which is fine with me because I use it often. Keep it up! And remember a...

Just wondering. There is a big difference in welders. I have a Lincoln mig with a tank and it works okay... going from mine to my buddies miller is a night and day difference in how my welds turn out. Just sayin your more than likely a better welder than you think you are. Either way, good...

What type of welder do you have? Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Clean up and painted the linkage. Also I got rid of the clevis's and used little heim joints instead. Its so much smoother and tighter now, no more slop. Cross members are painted and installed now . Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Finished up my cross members. I'll get a few pictures of them installed. Jonah "Rustyburbin" #4084. 5 kids, a wife, dog and a 1970 K20 Suburban

Got my shifter linkage finally done... well like 90% done. I'll still have to remove, clean and paint it. I might add some zerk fittings on those tunes but I'm not sure yet. I made them serviceable... the sticks are removable as are the flat bar side that the clevis' attach to. So in theory it...

When you say form the ground up, what do you mean? Because if you go with a pre-smog era rig you have tons of flexibility not mention you can cut, weld, fab and modify as much as you want... this is how my rig sits right now. If you're more of a bolt on parts kinda guy than a taco or...

I heard that... my stuff is getting pretty heavy too. I'm in that kinda sucky place where I have to figure out what to loose and what to keep. I don't want to end up with a big ol' [emoji90] that can't even get out of its own way. Sent from my SM-N900T using OB Talk mobile app

Stripped it down. Cleaned a.d painted the frame. I relocated the engine cross member forward 2" and fitted the motor, headers, etc. I cleaned up the fuel and brake lines. I'm gonna put in 2 line locks (front and rear) to lock up the breaks on steep slips where the parking brake isn't enough...

I'm curious... what did they offer you to make things right? Rustyburbin (OB#4084) from SoCal 5 kids, wife, dog and a 70 K20 Suburban

Built a tow hitch to get the chassis around town as necessary. I took it to the car wash and gave it a bath... it was surprisingly clean for a 47 year old truck. Rustyburbin (OB#4084) from SoCal 5 kids, wife, dog and a 70 K20 Suburban

Thank you! One thing I really like about OB is all the love! Historically a guy would build a car be it street rod, rat rod, 4x4 or overland rig and the time and effort it took would go unappreciated. Now we can all show off what we're up to and get ideas and get inspired. I've been working on...

Lol! We were joking around about that exact thing! Rustyburbin (OB#4084) from SoCal 5 kids, wife, dog and a 70 K20 Suburban
