da-burb 10-20-2003, 09:26 PM you are speaking my color!
68 Suburban 10-20-2003, 09:58 PM Very nice looking burb!
Hotrodhenryj 10-21-2003, 12:58 PM Thanks for the positive comments. I don't really like the color that well but it is a straight body. I have been trying to fix all of the FU's the PO did to it. She blew the factory BB up pulling a horse trailer with the oil low. Said the rod went through the block. Anyway here is a pic of the motor after replacing all of the welded up crap, and new Krylon overhaul. Chuck
Hotrodhenryj 10-23-2003, 11:41 AM I think the billet grills really inprove the looks
68 Suburban 10-23-2003, 03:56 PM Don't tell da-burb you don't like the color !!!! lol
VTKidder 10-23-2003, 04:22 PM Ochre's like the Yankees; love or hate, nowhere inbetween.
I love ochre, I hate the Yankee$$$$$$$$.:mad:
Hotrodhenryj 10-25-2003, 04:59 PM This truck was a factory BB. I now have an original 402 that I will sell also if anyone is interested.
Jim68 10-30-2003, 01:38 AM HEEEEY!! That grille DOES look good in there Chuck! :D That was a fun visit. Thanks again.
James in Mesa
landon4421 10-31-2003, 05:05 PM Looks good ! What are your plans ?
Hotrodhenryj 10-31-2003, 07:13 PM James, I am satisfied with the look of the grill, beats trying to get a repo also. Did you get the parts on yet? I got two more '68's in this week. One is SB other is a Custom LB.
Landon, This is supposed to be a for sale ad but guess no one wants one now. I guess I'll install new seat covers and carpet next and see if it will sell. I have another truck that I want to start on.
Hotrodhenryj 11-24-2003, 04:36 PM Still for sale, have digital pics, feel free to make offers.

Chuck, does this mean what I think it does?
Hotrodhenryj 01-15-2004, 04:39 PM Jeff, I am not sure, but think he wants it for himself. Maybe load it with parts?? We will see.
No I didn't mean that. I just hadn't heard from Joe in quite a while. I'm glad he's still around.
da-burb 01-15-2004, 11:59 PM stop bringing this to the top or I am going to plan an AZ vacation real soon!

Hotrodhenryj 01-17-2004, 01:00 AM TTT for da-burb, I think he is ready for a vacation from all that cold weather. Have plenty of room, maybe do some striper fishing!!
Dan72cst 02-04-2004, 03:11 PM TTT was just checking out the billet grille and thought I'd bump it to the top.
Blue Beard 02-04-2004, 11:07 PM Wouldn't mind having it, with a 1/2 ton rearend.............
rodshop454 02-12-2004, 10:36 PM What were you asking for it?

Hotrodhenryj 02-13-2004, 04:28 PM Have had lots of interest in it, but it is still here and I am now trying to get seat covers for it as well as carpet. Price is still 3500.
chiphayes 02-25-2004, 10:35 PM what would it cost ,fuel wise,im thinking fly down,drive home,or you drive here and i will fly you home ,and i live in indiana. i have sold my 92 blazer, and now have the money to go find a burb.i know this gets oold hearing this, but why does the stuff you want,have to be so gdamfar away.im interested and have the money,just dont want to spend a mint having it custom hauled to my door.got any ideas
Hotrodhenryj 02-26-2004, 02:01 PM Chip: I do not know if the truck would make the long drive back to your place. I have not really driven it a long distance. It has been sitting now for a year and the carb needs some work. Other than that I believe it is road worthy. I would rather you come here and look at as then you would know exactly what it is. I would guess around 250 for fuel as I went to Vincinnes in my other truck and thats about what I used. Chuck
rn2fine 02-28-2004, 02:39 PM Can you PM or e-mail me some pics of the interior. I am in the Phoenix area and am still interested.
Hotrodhenryj 02-28-2004, 02:55 PM I will need to have an email addy to attach pics to. Chuck
