It has been a month since the last post, but I don't have much to show in the way of progress. I am slowly cleaning and painting portions of the frame. I have started working on the brake lines because it allows me some sense of accomplishment. I am starting to bolt on parts Santa brought me including: power steering lines, brake lines, brake hoses, and I am really looking forward to putting the new Olds/Caddy style air cleaner I got.

Once I started mounting the power steering hoses I came to find I had an extra low pressure port on my pump. I forgot the Suburban had a hydroboost setup. So I swapped it out for a non-hydroboost pump. It was only $50 and well worth it so I wouldn't have to rig up some cap or whatzit to make it work.

Quick question: I got the brake lines back to the rear hose that splits out to the rear drums and found out the hoses are not 3/8-24. I am guessing they are AN-3. Can anyone confirm what size adapter I likely need to make the connection?

Thanks. It is good to be back.
