Here it is
 

I don't have her home yet because of a plugged fuel filter. I have been looking for a Burb for while and SSTim referred this one to me. Long story short I made deal and me and my wife drove down to Portland, Oregon to pick her up. It only has 52,000 original miles but sat for many years and the man I bought it from just bought it this past Spring. He changed all the rad hoses, put a new timing chain and water pump on the BB and generally cleaned up and installed an in line fuel filter on the line between new fuel pump he installed and the carb. He also added and installed a new fuel filter near the fuel pump on the tank side of the fuel pump, only he neglected to tell me that and you can't see it from under the hood. Anyway after 500 miles and only 5 minutes from former board member Mr B's place the Burb stalled but then started and ran again. I still had 750 miles to go and wasn't comfortable driving that distance so I left it with A.J and rove home. On the way home the self called me and told me about the extra fuel filter and I wish he would have called the day before. Anyway its getting shipped the rest of the way home. The Burb is an unmolested 71 C20 with a BB, tilt, tach and buckets and drives real nice. It needs some cosmetic stuff and there are a few rust spots but I like it. Anyway enough dribble about my trip, so on with the pictures. I will put more pics in next thread.

Such a vehicle would be great for my ski condo business and for ski trips.

Re: Here it is
 

Glad you FINALLY found one! :cong:

Re: Here it is
 

that's a nice burb , and it sounds like its loaded

Re: Here it is
 

Replace the plastic fuel filter on the engine with a steel one.
My '67 K/10 sub has been sitting since '98 as a project-with-a-salvage-title, because the 454's aircleaner [K&N] caught on fire from a backfire and the plastic filter melted thru. (Situation was complicated by an electric fuel pump that stayed on.)

Nice truck. I see there's an extra fuel cap amidships. What kind of extra tank does it have? That much rust in the filter tells us you will want to have your gas tanks and fuel lines flushed and cleaned out.

Very nice Burb...very nice of AJ to help out. Also how's he doing? Does he still have his truck?

Re: Here it is
 

Congratulations on getting your burb!

Re: Here it is
 

Yes, I plan to put the steel in line filter on the Burb when I get the fuel situation straightened out. There is and original "Travel Tank" brand tank tucked under the second seat. I do not know outs capacity but it goes from side to side and front to back under the set. I did put 16 gallons in on one fill but the gas gauge doesn't work properly so don't know how much wa sin it.

70's flashback picture of the day... well almost.

Re: Here it is
 

Nice Greg! Hope it gets home soon and safely. Look forward to more pics. Pete

Re: Here it is
 

Yes it is very gracious of AJ to help me out and I hope I can help him or someone else in need one day. AJ is doing well and all settled in his new home in the Spokane Valley, Washington. As far as his truck goes as you can see it is doing great as well.

Sweet!

Re: Here it is
 

That's great to hear and see. I had several deals with him, all of them were very good. I didn't know he moved. Nice looking house. Thanks for the info.

The aux tank on my Sub, "White Fang", was an Army surplus gunpowder can. About 2' x 3' x 10" it held 16 gallons. It was made from galvanized steel. painted gray, had a 5" opening seal on one end and leaked like a sieve. I had to quit using it. It usually ran dry before 2 hours of highway driving with a BBC and 4x4. Tank was blind - no gauge. Your 'Travel Tank' sounds like a real product. Mine was a PO's homebrew.
The Suburban - K/5 stock tank is rated at 20.5. Some will say that's more than the behind-the-seat tank in pickups, but I've crammed 22.5 in them, so I know that's not correct.
Good luck on your project, and if I can pass on my bad experiences so a fellow board member can avoid them, then that's something good.

Re: Here it is
 

Nice looking burb Greg. It looks like you can clean it up a little and drive it.

Re: Here it is
 

Yes, that is the plan Shawn. I don't why i bought it thought cause I am so happy with the green Highlander which drives super and the A/C works great. I've been wanting a Burb for years and now i have one but can't justify having the Burb and the Highlander.

Re: Here it is
 

Did that one come out of Sandy, Or.?

Re: Here it is
 

Yes it did. Do you know anything about it?

Re: Here it is
 

Very nice score.

Re: Here it is
 

After 3 1/2 weeks it finally got on the truck yesterday morning. I should be able to pick her up Monday/Tuesday..

Re: Here it is
 

N I C E !

And my favorite vehicle color.

I'll need some details about it :)

Re: Here it is
 

Great news Greg - can't wait to see more pics and know it's safe in hand.
