Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I really like how you're revitalizing this burban and setting it up for your family to enjoy. IMO, the back could come up a little bit so that the fender lip hits the same spot on the tire as it does in the front. That would give you a little bit of a rake, but I actually think that looks good. Would give you some more clearance in the rear.

Just got through reading your thread here. I like the burb! After all of the new gaskets are you losing any oil or was it all just leaks?

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I really haven't driven it enough since fixing the leaks to see how much oil it'll burn, but it does have a bit of the smoke at idle and on the throttle after idling for a bit. One thing for sure, it is gutless! :lol:

I'm exchanging texts this morning with my local "pusher man", trying to make a trade for a bench seat for the Burb and a stepside bed for my '64. Man, it never ends...:uhmk:

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Thanks! I like a little rake on short beds, but I prefer long beds and Burbs to be pretty flat. I can't bounce on the bumper hard enough to bottom it out since I swapped out the air shocks, so we'll see.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I like your burb! I'm more old school in what I like. I didn't see the specs on how much you lowered it. Just seen the drop spindles. I'm wanting to lower my 91.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Thanks! The front has 2.5" drop spindles and one coil cut for about 2" more drop. Rear is flipped via Specialty Retails drop brackets http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=flip

Looking good

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Thanks for stopping in!

So...I'll just drive it around a bit, he said. I'll get it aligned soon enough, he said. Well "he" was wrong. :lol: Here we are getting new skinny whites for the front and headed to the alignment shop. Only put a couple hundred or so miles on 'em, but they were already showing just a wee bit of cord on the inside treads. Whoops!

Sonic on a Saturday night for shakes and hot pretzels with the family.

cherry limeaid FTW!!

...cute family and nice burb :)

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Well folks, the Burb has gone on to a new owner so I can fund my 4X build. I realized after owning a lowered rig for awhile that I like the way they look much much more than I like driving one. I actually miss the license plates and steering wheel the most :lol:

The new smiling owner headed out...

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I saw this and wish I could have snagged it. I guess I was a few hours too late. It was on CL and tried to email. Nice rig.

Yeah, I put it on fb too, and the first response was within a couple hours and he bought it.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

:whine::whine::whine: so what about the lowering did you hate? I'm still thinking I want mine at least couple inches lower.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I really didn't hate it, it just wasn't for me. We're rural, and the roads absolutely suck around here and of course there are ditches on each side. I envisioned us parking to take pics of old barns and stuff, but I couldn't even pull off the road :lol: I probably would've been happier with just a spindle and rear lowering spring setup, but then it wouldn't have the look I was after. The Burb was actually the first vehicle I've ever intentionally purchased in 2wd. Like I said...wasn't for me.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Got ya, I love the look also but never had one that low. I have an 85 4x4 with 4in lift had to have when I was younger,country boys and their 4x4s lol, but i actually prefer a 2wd.:lol: I will follow you other build!

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

Hate to see it go. But better things wait.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

I just bought a burb too and was thinking about lowering but i don't think you said what drop you did on yours i know that back is like a 5 or 6 but what was the front.

Re: Impressed with our Burb!
 

sorry i see where you talked about it now. That's probably were i want to be on mine too.
