90 R1500 Suburban Build

Overview Gallery Discussion
That's basically how I ran it. The 203 shifts easier than the 205 anyways. Plus it being the strongest way to operate it.

I need to source some knobs, seen a nifty set the other day that on the 203 knob it's a picture of a turtle and rabbit for L and H.
 
Picked this feller up. Kicks fans on at 190 and 215. This particular BMW switch isn't super easy to find as most seem to be 2 wire switches.

Not cheap for this switch new either supposedly, 80$+ or so.

Sweet dark pic as far away from the camera lense as possible...

:haha::flipoff13:
 
I don't know what they run cost wise but Horton makes some good fan switches for tons of different temps and a couple different pipe thread sizes (most common is 1/2"). They were mostly used on older non-electronic semis. Looks like there are aftermarket ones on the internet for like $50+
 
I found them for 20$ after more research. But factory BMW ones are 75$.

I got it installed and working already. Works well, needs the 91-99* one rather than the one I have that gets to hot for my liking. But it does function as advertised. The Windstar large fan keeps it from ever kicking on the secondary fan.
 
Picked up this feller for the front driveshaft.

20$.

I will have to turn down the F350 yoke piece to fit into the tubing but it's only 60 thousands bigger. So that's not a problem. Stout tube though.

Makes me think I'm going to ditch my 3.5in rear shaft for a thicker wall 3in one down the road as well. It looks like a Cummins swap with that monster dangling around underneath it.

Picked this up. Need to source a female 1350 slip for it but for 10$ it's hard to beat.

Long enough for my current springs and the right diameter tubing to go with the F350 CV. I actually believe this is off another Ford of sone sort, but a carrier bearing rear d/s.
 
Nice build .I haven't started a build on my burb yet my friends want me to put in a 6.0 ls I like old school thinking 383 or 454 or a nasty 406
 
Picked up this feller from PnP for 12$. 1350 joint and 21/22 spline. Through Spicer this thing costs 120$. A bit on the rediculous side. But I guess F250s arnt super common.

Now I just need three 1350 joints for the front shaft and it's technically wheelable. Minus shocks and relays for the windows.

I’ll just tell you what they tell me:
Only crappy drivers need to remove the doors or roll down windows.
