I bought this 68 Burb to keep it from being parted out. I need this like I need a hole in the head.

I thought it was a 67, but it is in fact a 68.

I'd keep it, and build it!
1968 was a low production year for 4x4 Suburbans.

It's actually a really solid looking K10 burb from what the pictures show.
Can you take some photo's of the engine compartment for me?

If it has any of the rear seats, can you take some pics of them for me as well?

Trade it to Chris for his 1970 SWB K-10 pick up, then he could have a before and after set.:lol:

(I know his is a K-20, but still.)

That burb comes up for sale every year.

(I use to live in the town that this burb is in, and I have a sneaking suspicion as to who worked on it).

BTW. for those of you thinking about the fabric headliner that is being sold by vendors, take a look at the second video and you will see one in there. No offense to the owner of this burb, but that is the whole reason why I didn't put one in.

Thanks for the pictures.
I'm curious about the seat pattern, since I am considering an all vinyl seat cover for my burb.

Can you take pictures of the seat with a tape measure on the middle section, this would be used as a guide for an upholsterer to make me a similar cover. The pleated area.

PM me if you want to just email them to me, rather than clutter up this thread.

Thanks!

Also, I see that it has the fuel filter option on the spid.

If I am correct, there should be the heavy duty style frame mount fuel filter on the passenger side? Can you verify that, and if there is one there I would love a photo of it.

(I love these kinds of trucks, ones that haven't been messed with or restored).

I'll check on Monday. I think I'm leaving this one unrestored. It is really beat up. I believe this was a county water truck. On the rear windows there is the water logo and you can still find the old decals on the floor.

If I had it, it looks like it would be more fun to leave it as is.
Though I would of course freshen up the drive train and brakes, but these 4x4 burbs are a blast when they are like this when set up to be reliable.

Change your mind? I noticed it on Ebay
