i sure would like a roll cage in the burb. i havent found any place that sells cages for 78 burbs. so i might make one. if anybody out there has dimentions or prints for one it would surly help. im thinking about 1 5/8 tube. i know it should be attached to the frame. thanks all.:flag: :canada:

come on guys. all these chevy people and no one knows more than me. i know that is a untruth.

I beleive you will have to make one. Its cheap to build your own any way. If your a good welder this shouldn't be a problem.

You don't have to attach it to the frame. Not attaching it to the frame will make it easier to build and install just weld plates to the bottum of your uprights and bolt the plats to the floor.

As far as layouts go design your own, that way you will get what you want.

will the plates be do a good job in a roll over. plates maybe 4x4 or 6x6. thanks.

It depens on where you place them and how fast your moving when you roll over. I would try to put them where the floor has supports because the floor is stronger there. This is just as good as attching them to the frame. becasue your frame doesn't move with your cab.

if you are going to do any serious four wheeling i think you should go to the frame. but like soulman said, it wont move with the body. make sure you have the body lifted were you want it too

I understand it probably wouldn’t make a difference in a high-speed roll over with mass rolls. But I believe it could help in a low speed roll or collision. I do allot of hunting, its wheeling and dirt roads but not what I consider serious 4x4'in, so I don’t think it will be put to the test off road.

You should definately mount those plates as close to the body mounts as possible. This will strenghten the chassis and prevent flexing. In case of the front downtubes, you should drill holes in the floor and weld or bolt athe mounting plate to the frame as close to the front A-arms as possible. If not, the front end will be more likely to buckle in case of a strong front impact.
