'87 Suburban Build "munepit" I'm Back! Missed all you guys!

[munepit]

I know! I bought these arms right when they started to go in the shitter. I sent them pics and a message. We have a good nut and bolt place here. I'll look at the place you mentioned when I get into the house on a computer. I'm still in the garage drinking beers. Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

I'm terrified to buy from them, but they make some awesome parts.

Its just an allen head bolt. Buy it from a local bolt supplier and call it good.

 

[K85 Octane]

Hell with that, just buy a bolt and use the jam nut.

It's an Allen head cup point set screw. Not hard to find

 

[munepit]

I bought a couple of these bolts. $3.00 each. I will say Joel @ Ballistic fab emailed me today wanting to send me one. Just needed my address. I called them today and Joel said he had just emailed me. I'd say that's good customer service! Heading out to the garage to drink beer and work on the kingpins, and install the hydro assist ram and bleed it.

This is from going on a jeep trail. Some scratches will buff out. I like them though. I need to cut more on the front fenders also. These pics dont do it justice though. There are thousands.

I know this was from years ago, but I couldn't resist, if it hasn't been said already, we call this "Rocky Mountain pin-striping." haha

It Lives! Took my beers and the kids to the park today. Well, still at the park.

That Sub is looking mean. I may have a sickness, but I find the dents and dings strangely attractive.

 

[munepit]

I feel the same way. Kinda. This rig can't be saved as far as the body. I love clean squares. But I really like my Suburban. I've had it since she was born in 87.


At the second park. Kids love it! Parents think I'm kinda weird. It's fun.

Do work Jeff!

Be careful ordering stuff from ballastic, they’ve been terrible for years now. If you know what size hardware you need I would look at ordering from McMaster Carr

yeah you need a long allen screw. It broke right at the beginning of the hex socket. Need it solid where nut will stretch the screw. grade 8.

Odd bump.

[Smokinthehippies]

He doesn’t have it anymore.
@bradshawtech bought it.

 

[bradshawtech]

Kind of a sad day…. Wasn’t much left of the body so she’s going to the scrapper Monday.

 

[76zimmer]

That body is a solid tub in the salt belt!

 

[bradshawtech]

We’ve got 24 hours for someone to claim it.

I agree, well… there’s some pretty serious wrinkling of sheet metal under the carpet.
