    Opinions on my rust issue

    Don't use flux core. For a little bit more money you can get a gas setup. Much cleaner welds.

    Rear springs, best???

    Best place to buy rear springs. It's an 88 gmc burb 1/2 ton 4wd. Looking for stock. Seems like prices are all over. Also seems like 88 up are alot more than 88 down but they should be the same???

    factory Quarters WIW

    Thanks. Double the price of repros was my thought also. You don't see much of this for sale so hard to tell what people are really going to pay. If I still had my dads 78 they would be on it in a heartbeat. These were intended for my current burb but making that a winter truck and moving...

    factory Quarters WIW

    Anyone have any knowledge of factory quarter panel pricing? I have a set of 70's NOS full quarter panels for a burb, they will also fit the 80's but the fuel door will need modified. I've searched but haven't seen any for sale or completed sales to see what they are going for. My projects are...

    Smokin' Deal!

    Thanks for the heads up on the tank. I could probably adapt something pretty easily for the tank. the other option is sectioning in the square door opening I have now. I really only need to repair the bottoms of the quarters but figure with the full quarter off I can work on the inners. I...

    Smokin' Deal!

    Just bought 2 full GM quarters for $300 for the pair. Quarters are in excellent shape. Mine are starting to go on the bottoms but for the price couldn't pass these up. Swapping the full quarter will let me do the outer wheelwell and figure out something for the inners. So far I've collected...

    Thanks for the confirmation on the bolts at the top. the spot welds and the rest are pretty straightforward. I didn;'t want to get into lifting the roof section up to slide it in.

    Burb FUll Quarter install

    Anyone ever do a full quarter install on a burb. I may be able to get full quarters cheap. I'm looking at the replacement quarter and can't figure out how the top section goes. Does it get installed under the roof skin? Does the roof skin have to be removed or can you access from under the...

    Another steering question

    I was wrong!!!! bad u joint. The u joint on the pass side was seized in on plane. Even with the hubs unlocked it must rotate a bit in the housing. Put in a new u joint and problem completely disappeared. Cant take credit for it though, saw a post on a ford site about the same problem.

    Another steering question

    got an alignment and fixed 95 percent of the problem. Thinking that was the main problem. Tracks straight going down the road, only get some funny "choppy" feelings on tight turns, thinking thats from the outer edge of my tire lugs starting to get wore funny from the alignment.

    Which mounts???

    Agree with what he said. Poly is much stiffer, rubber will give you a smoother ride.

    Another steering question

    Recently bought an 88 GMC suburban 4 wheel drive, solid axle in the front. I'm having a problem where occasionally the truck will want to turn to the right or the the left. You can fell the steering wheel wanting to pull the truck, You can hold the wheel and continue to drive straight but if...

    Ball Joints

    I just did the drivers side and you definitely don't want to do it twice. I'm as frugal as they come but I'll still pay more for high qyality suspension components. In the long run the price delta is negligible.
