I went out to Santa Ana on Wednesday to finalize my order with Jeff the owner of Deaver suspension. I'm pretty stoked about it! I'm gonna have 10-12" of travel up front and 14-16 in the rear. Now I need some good shocks to accommodate all that suspension. I've been looking all around for some...

Today I started fabing up my cross member for my 203/205 doubler... installing this thing is gonna be a pain in the @$$!

I here ya... I've been working on stuff for my rig but not actually working on it.
Today was / is (I'm taking a break from grinding) my first day fooling around with it and it's a little overwhelming how much I still have to do.

Awesome rig and build! It's hard to beat style and strength of old iron heavy chevys.
I love my 70 K20 Burb!

Yeah man I can't wait! I'm pretty pumped about the whole thing. Having those deep low gears along with the overdrive transmission... I get all excited just thinking about it! LOL!

I'm running an ho72 which was the predecessor to the 14bolt. It has 3 pinion bearings like the 14B and has a bigger pinion shaft. it has a drop out 3rd member like the ford 9" and a cover on the back. Better clearance than a 14 as well... the ring gear is 1/4" smaller in diameter though.
I...
Thanks man!
I should be pulling the cab off early next week so I'll have more to share soon.

Thank you!
Yeah I hope to meet more OB members too. Each time I've planned to be at a meet up something came up.
Soon. I keep telling myself that I'll make one soon. Lol.

Yeah, it definitely could have been worse.
I text a couple of my gear head buddies to see if they could help with getting that hub together, none were free so I just dove into it and BAM! I sliced it and within 15 minutes of texting them I was off to the ER... [emoji541]
I should have...
Awesome! Nice build man I love the old classic trucks and Jeeps. I'll be following this thread.
I'm building up an old rig myself. Here's the link to my build thread if you're interested in takin a look...

70 K20 Suburban
Painted the 4l80e
Rebuilt my rear end, new seals and bearings.
I painted the third member since I had it out.
Beefy pinion shaft?!?! [emoji123]
Oh, and I slipped and opened up my pinky finger while assembling the overdrive hub on the transmission. [emoji15] [emoji51]
Rustyburbin...
Nice burb! It's cool to see all the love here! I'm in an old burb too, and it goes just about everywhere my jeep buddies can go... and frankly the longer wheelbase makes the trail smoother.
I just visited Deavers Springs in Santa Ana this afternoon and ordered my new long travel leaf springs...
I haven't been following from the beginning so you may have done this already... it sounds like you might have a bad gauge since your readings were good with external temperature tests. No?
