alright well these past few days have been crazy.
The other day I looked over on FSC and found a 88 burban with a tbi 350/700R4 for sale for $500. Well after talking to the guy I ended up loading up the crew cab and trailer and made the 900 mile round trip to pick it up. (drove 7 hours there, loaded the suburban, drove to austin, went and hung out on 6th street, woke up the next morning at 4, drove 7 hours home, then worked 10 hours) I ended up getting it for $350. "censored word's will get you removed from this forum" suburbans are light at all. I am dang glad that I had my helper bags on my crew. The truck pulled the 5000lb burb and tailer better then a stock height truck. Hopefully in the next few weeks i will be able to pull the motor, tranny, dash and wiring harness and then hauling the rest off to the scrap yard.
As soon as i get those parts pulled the tranny will be getting rebuilt and the motor will be taken completely apart and overhauled.
Then today after work I went and picked up my frame from the powdercoaters. It is nice to see it finally coated after it sat for so long. The rear end and rear suspension probably wont be done until next week some time. Oh well I am not in that big of a hurry for this thing to be done.
I got my tank and compressors mounted then I called it a day.
Here is a picture of the sun coming up. I think it was about 6:15 that morning.
