1960 Suburban 400 (almost there)

[RJ Hamner 1,011]

The Suburban that I started last December is almost done.  Just some final "tweeking" to the engine.

I was told that the engine did run and I took them at their word (my bad).

Didn't have any spark. Tore the front end off and found a real mess.  Started to fix that problem (coil, condenser, wiring) and got to wondering.......

Pulled the head (looks to have been rebuilt right before what ever it was mounted on broke) got new head bolts, changing a couple of wires, adding a "kill switch".

Not sure how much time I am going to get to finish it.  We are on "baby watch" for grandsons #5 and #6.  Our daughter is having twin boys.

My wife got real tired of me crawling around on the garage floor and then complaining that my knees hurt all the time so so bought me the handy machine the Suburban is sitting on (works great)

Got if from discountramps.com.  It's a Black Widow xtra wide ATV lift table.  Air/hyd pump requires 90 psi of air. 47"w x 78"L.  It lifts from 6 3/4 to 33 1/2

Made my life a LOT easier

You've made great progress since I saw it a couple of weeks before the big show. Did you get the engine running? I've got a brand new, old stock coil, condenser, and other things if you need them. Also, I still have most of the stuff that was in the "box-o-engine" if you need any of it.

 

And oh yeah...that lift was not in your shop when I was there. Great addition. What did you have to get rid of to make room for it? 

 

And what is the model number on that lift?

Just bookmarked that site at the top . Been looking into building a lift like that , for the price of the 1500lb unit it's tough to beat .

That's a secret between me and the trashman.  Sometimes she looks over my shoulder
