The 235 in my '54 is ready to come out. All the body work is off the frame, and it will just take removing the bolts on both ends to get it out. I don't want...

My son and I are going to the Graham Washington All GM swap meeting and show next weekend. I hope to have some old truck parts to unload and maybe acquire...
for thoes who asked me here is the link to the dash cluster i will also post it on the group sites as well 64-66 chev gauge cluster with factory tach thais...
I have decide to sell my 64 GMC Suburban Street Rod. A few pictures are available on this site under Ken's 64 or you can view more on my webshots page under...
Greetings from your newest member (as of 2 minutes ago)! I'm considering looking at a 1969 Suburban that is for sale locally, but I know nothing about Chevys....
I'm pretty sure the 305 is not stock, because it wasn't available that early. Even so, if the motor is in good condition it should tow a small camp trailer or...
Steve, Thanks for the response. Quick question for you... Stock or not, how easy would it be to put a 350 (or bigger) engine into the burb? All I know right...
i have towed with the old 69-72 burbs 1/2 ton with no problem,the 350 motors with the 400 turbo will tow a car trailer [open} with say a 67 camaro drag car on...
Mike, Will the 305 tow as well as the 350/400 setup or should I expect much less towing capacity from the 305? Doug wahl4m@... wrote: i have towed with the...
Hi Doug, I have been a Chevy man all my life. The 350 will be a direct bolt in
swap as far as motor mounts and transmission bolt up is concerned. The only...
All things being equal, I'd expect less towing performance. My Suburban has a 270 GMC six. I also have a pickup with a 350. While my six is 35 cubic inches...
Doug, It is common to have a rear bench seat as well ( 3 more seats) and less common, but optional, to have a third seat that seats 2 more people. John '72...
Ok, now I'm catching on, I think. If a 270, 6 cylinder can tow without problems then I am assuming a 305 will do just fine. I just might have to take steep...
You're doing pretty good. That 270 6 has a long stroke, and long stoke means more torque. Pulling up hills requires torque, so its well suited to that task....
All, I'm a little disappointed after going out to look at the 69. On the phone the owner was less than completely honest about the amount of rust on the...
I don't think you've mentioned where you are, but the rust you describe is pretty common on those trucks, unless you find one that has only been in a pretty...
You're right, I don't think I mentioned where I'm from. Sorry about that. Portland, Oregon area. Lots of rain here, but at least we don't need to salt the...
I'm near Seattle, but came from Portland. I don't think you'll find a local truck that doesn't have quite a bit of rust. But it doesn't sound like this is...
Doug, Good bet. The "Glamour" era Suburbans aren't highly sought after. The early Blazers seem to be much more desirable (better resale), although they...
From: "Devin Ranger" <devin_ranger@...> ... Drew, That might be dependant on your location. In Ohio, $1500 would be about the going price for the truck...
Yes, I'd concede that, John. I've had to do a bit of travelling to obtain the right vehicle myself (Travelled to Portland for the WRONG vehicle). Have to...
Hmmm.... Was that said with the intent of sincerely helping the new guy or do you maybe have plans to drive on down??? Just kidding around, of course. If...
... From: T.Bare <tanning_bare@...> ... will do just fine. I just might have to take steep hills or larger loads a little more slowly than I would with...
We have a 283 in the one ' 65, a 305 in the other ' 65, and a 307 in the ' 64. We use the ' 64 to tow our boat to Salt Fork lake (Cambridge, Ohio area) and we...
