What does that do with how the system works ? Why not just pull all the stuff out ? Or would the computer not like that.

That sounded bad, I meant the part of still having ABS on the rear axle but not on the front. Pulling the bulb fixes the light but the system is still there.
When I did my 98 K3500 I pulled the bulb and ABS fuse. Brakes worked fine.
You can always add sensors to the front depending on what axle you are running and keep it functional.
As @GWeakland620 stated, I literally haven't done anything with the ABS. Just unplugged the wires to the front and zip tied them up. In fact, now that you guys mention it, I don't even have an ABS light on either 
.
@kgblazerfive so far I haven't noticed any weird brake issues with leaving the ABS alone. The brakes act completely normal (same as my V3500 with no ABS system). Now, mine is a 93, and I'm sure the system was a bit more refined for the 96+ models to where pulling the ABS fuse or something like that could be beneficial, but as Greg mentioned on his 2000 K3500, he did the same as me and doesn't have any issues either (other than the ABS light on).

Yep, and even in the snow sliding, I have yet to have an issue.

With some weight, it actually does pretty decent in the snow. But the Harley truck with a locker and some weight does even better, so I usually drive that. But now I have a reliable 4x4 ford to propel me into the future!
Lol! Greg.
I really do enjoy using this thing. It’s just so useful and cool
Nice!
Always good to see pics of projects in use. Keep it up.
What better way to test the reliability of one of your builds than drive a ~2300 mile round trip to see family and drop off & pick up parts with your brother. Surprisingly everything went smooth with only a handful of little glitches. The old TBI454 with 200k miles did pretty good. I swapped the BFG’s from my crew cab onto it to help out with gearing since I was towing there and back. My starter tried to give up on me on the way out. Changed it when I got to my dads house. All in all, everything went good. Even the cruise control works, haha
man... i wanna build one of these for my family haulers so bad. I have a totally rusted 200+ mile 2006 burb... need a clean slate...
come west they are out here by the thousands, and for cheap.
I have a 99 shell in perfect shape, you can have it. It's a roller missing engine trans tcase

Perfect. He can ship it to me. I would gut my 93 gmt400 454/4L80E in a heartbeat for a clean burb body.

Is it a 4wd chassis?
