Thats cool Frizz

FF,

Is that paneling you used inside? What did you use for the headliner? Pics? I'm finally going to start the engine swap (5.3/4L60E) the middle of next month.

Rob

Nice Subs guys. I've thought about giving up the quest for a 2wd blazer and getting a bagged Sub.

72burban, where are you at? Where's Fremont?

FF,

Rob

Yep, wall panelling from Home Depot:metal: I don't think they are in those pics, but I added several perimeter screws (drill and tap) to get them to lay flush all the way around. All the panel lines line up front to back.

The headliner is out right now (thus no pics:lol: ), but I have some white wall board from also from Home Depot I plan to use with the patterns from the old stuff once I dynamat/fatmat the entire roof.

Good luck on the swap!

Here is my 72 3/4 ton Burb.
Just finished putting in a new 350 now it looks like I have to tackle rust all over again.

Frizz,

Where did you get that crazy roof rack. It's the coolest!

Thanks. I actually thought it would be the first thing to go when I saw it. But after I dropped it and put the wheels on I thought it actually looked good on there. Gives it more of a classic surf wagon vibe that goes well with the wood inner panelling. It's a dealer installed option.

that rack is cool, it looks almost identical to the rack on my 59 parkwood wagon

1972 3/4 ton, factory front and rear AC, tilt. 1990 Throttle body and 700R4 conversion. Daily driver/hauler. Almost done with it. Needs carpet kit and a vintage air upgrade. It was pulled from a junkyard with no engine, trans., interior or front suspension (it was a big block...surprised?)

The rack is one of the coolest parts of my suburban.

Here's mine, not the best pics, but the only ones I have handy. My Grandpa bought the Burb in about 1974 or 1975, and it has been in the family ever since. I recently put the 3rd seat in as my family has been growing...

Man I love the 67-72 burban. I can't wait till I find one and have the money for it. All of yall's look great also. Keep up the good work.

hey boncytruck.... im in fremont... thats in northern california right in between san jose and san francisco. nice blazer though.. i love that orange!!!

all very nice burbs guyz...like i posted before...can't wait to finish my 67 Nova wagon & get a 67 sub...there's a few 70s here in Hawaii i'm keeping an eye on...if it goes that way i guess i'll have to do the old front sheetmetal swap...

The rack is one of the coolest parts of my suburban.

I love the paint on your rendering. Are you making a fourth door?

Long time since I've been on, getting things straightened out since the splitup. Finally starting to get things going on the 71' Burb. I have the 71 clip off and the 67' clip on. Firewall is shaved & rust repair is underway and the 72 C20 burb is getting ready to have the 402/T400 pulled for transplant into the 71' burb(then that is going to scrap). No new pics ready to post but I will get some soon and put them up... Once the 71' is done, the ex-Cheesewagon 72 C10 burb is going to go to a new owner...

Bagged91 -- Welcome back!

Great Projects Fellas! I'm Kinda partial to the air suspension rides my self, But any SUB is a good sub! Heres mine I picked up a couple months ago.195292

I thought about it, but probably won't. I don't have the time right now and I'm sure that would add a couple of months to the project.

So you bought one huh? Looks nice. When are the 22s going on? Your neighborhood looks very similar to mine. So now we have at least three dropped 67-72 Burbs in town (mine, yours, and a brown one).

Yeah, I finally got it, I got it for a fair price. was in the truck trader for months, and the seller was about to part it out. I made an offer and got for way less than what he was asking. I had to put the 22s on hold for a little bit.
I wound up building a motor for it instead, which I am in the process of swapping out. Besides now I cant decide on 22s or 20s. I havent seen on 22s
a buddy of mine has a c-10 truck on 22s that looks sick but its not a sub.anyhow. I did notice our homes are similar, I'm near the Hawthorn farm intel. They all look alike these days. I was checking out you truck project, man its turning out PHAT, gonna be one bad ride when done.
I havent seen the brown brub yet m I have seen a lowered orange one though.

Count me in - 1968 BIG BLOCK 2wd 1/2 Ton Here . . . Sorry no pics yet fellas!

here is a few pics of my 72 bagged on 20's

jeff

Jeff,

Your Burb is my inspiration for mine! Not quite there yet, but still working.

Rob

I was drooling over that Burb before I ever found this site! Still my favorite one. I've even used it to photoshop a 72 Tahoe. Very nice.

Here are a couple of shots of ebbhightower's 1971 burb:

Jeff...Sweet, simple and clean....Not to mention Big wheels and bags,
Very nice ride!

jeff... that thing is dope!! i got the hugger orange and white top cuz of that burban!! sweeet!

Just made the deal and should pick it up this weekend....

dont know where I am going to go with it but I thik geting a roof rack is on top of my list.

I`ve only had one and I can`t believe I never took a single picture.I sold it in a weak moment,I hope someone's happy with it:`71 CustomDeluxe/10,Med.Blue/Blue int,402/TH400,Rallyes/spinners,3/5 drop springs,a/c,cruise.It was too big according to my wife,so she rarely drove it.She wanted to sell it and her Samuri shuttle-craft to get one new replacement,the`90 K/5 we still have.A guy in Fredericksburg,VA bought it.:whine:

Here is a few of mine as it sits now.

Here's my Dad's.

here is a few pics of my 72 bagged on 20's

If I didn't have a Blazer, this is what I would want. I've been considering a bagged burb rather than trying to find the elusive 2wd Blazer...

:metal:

here is mine

that's what I did bouncy. Finally, just gave up, but I do know where a 2wd blazer is that's about to be for sale. If you want to know PM me.

The only problem is it a ways away from you.

Just Bought mine This morning...

Drove from AZ to Los Angeles....

Here ya go..

Yep... and I don't get out much;) Had fans in Portland the other day though:cool:

There's a nice set of Burbs goin in this thread:metal:

Here's a few of my junkers.

Here's mine.

Aaron

Long Roof, that's a beaut!


Uncle, I'll be by shortly to take that medium blue klunker off your hands. :D

Thanks, it needs some work, but it's a great start. It is awful tough to find nearly 40 year old unrusty steel in this part of the country. This example is a transport from Cali a few years back by the previous owner.

Someday I will get serious about a redo and ditch the smurf paint.

Aaron

Here's mine.

Aaron

I love the white below the lower trim. I don't get the blue liftgate though. Was that intentional (probably not your diong)? Looks like a clean truck! I've already read your explanation on the third door handle:)

I'm not crazy about the blue gate. I suppose it was done to match the rest of the door frames. When my boys and I redo this one in a few years the rear door handle will go back on. It really sucks the way it is.

Aaron


Do you mean the barn doors will go back on?

I think he is talking about the right rear passenger door. You will see it is been removed.

I thought he was talking about the upper rear gate being blue instead of white, but now that you mention it, I don't see a R rear door handle!

Rereading my post I do see the confusion. I was refuring to the liftgate or hatch and the third door handle (or lack of).

Aaron

Here's mine:)

That is NICE! Why haven't we seen it before?

Thanks Frizz. I just got it a few months ago and have just now gotten around to posting pics. Affectionately known as "The Big Banana", All it really needs is paint/body work and a/c work. But we all know how it goes when we tell the wives: "I'm just gonna do this......" It's from California, so NO RUST!! WoooHooo! One big dent on drivers quarter and a few small dents elsewhere, but it's gonna be an easy fix. I like the rear swaybar setup on your burb. Is it a kit or shadetree engineering? How do you like it?

I like "the Big Banana"! :gmc:
Did I just write that? :crazy: :lol:

Really, that's a beaut and an unusual burb: A yellow, two-toned GMC. I'm surprised it looks so great with yellow. I probably wouldn't have thought so had I heard it described with no pic. Great find, too. California burbs do often survive the decades relatively unscathed.

Shadetree...Here's a link to the details. (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=178261) And I love it!

mine before the accident

Nice!
I like the 4 bucket seats.
Do you have the after pics... Is it a total loss?

no, they tried fixing it, but during the time that it took to fix, it sat in the rain and now the rockers are rusted and the tailgate is rusting. I dont have the ability to fix it myself, so I am looking for someone who can work it out.

If my camara did not go on the blink I would post a new picture of my "Banana" for you. I think it looks really good. But I like yellow trucks. :) Will be going in a car show tomorrow if it does not rain. I have one of those throw away camars but will put the pictures on a disk and see about downloading some pictures of the show.

Im jsut about finished rebuilding the stock drum brakes. We just installed a 350 out of a 94 caddy. I have ART strongs arms planning on installing those once I get the rest of the disc brake conversion parts. Id love to get ART rear setup for it.http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/Rydn2l0w/s10burban017.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/Rydn2l0w/s10burban022.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/Rydn2l0w/s10burban019.jpg

WOW! How long was it sitting to cause all the rust?? How bad is the damage from the accident?

My '70 in a bad, after rain pic.....

Haven't been in, in a long time, I'll see if I can get my Pic on here!:o

Here's the other side!

very nice!!!!

Any pics of the interior

Very nice!!

Thanks guys!! I'll work on getting some pictures of the interior, it's not finished, but it's on the way.

ps - lot of cool burbs running around these pages!!

Here's a pic of mine.

steeevo's

What kind of 2wd lift are you doing?

Thanks!
Doc
