Cool burb found right down the road - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

52napco · 12-30-2017, 05:07 PM

I've been looking for a solid original burb all over the country and a friend told me about one 50 miles from here. Rear ac caught on fire so it's gonna need most interior panels but don't they all plus rust repair ??? This is the cleanest body I've ever found.. 52,000 actual miles
Factory ac, tachometer, bucket seats,auto etc etc..it's loaded

Congratulations on a great find!

Is the steering wheel as melted as it looks?

52napco · 12-30-2017, 09:20 PM

Yes ....headliner is burned out of it also as well tops of the seats.Zero rust truck and everyone I've seen needs interior anyway so I'll gut it and get it to the blaster next week and get it in epoxy primer.

Solid Burb! Have fun with the build. What are your plans?

I'll media the burned area, hit it with some good epoxy primer,repaint the roof and 1/4,
New glass and restore the interior.....loose the ugly rear bumper lol.
Then a 2.5 inch soft ride and my spare 15x8 cucv wheels and dog dish caps.

69 or 70.

It indeed looks solid

Is it done yet???

Good find, I like it when a sad truck like this one is going to a good home.

My glass man is coming today.Spent around $800 on weatherstrips 😢😢. 2.5 inch softride
Lift is on and I have a set of 15x8 steelies powdercoated white and a set of 33x10.50 bfg's.
My paint guy did a fabulous job matching the original paint but did have to blend on the ds
Door. I'll post more pics with wheels and tires and hubcaps later

Travisarmenta · 08-31-2018, 09:48 AM

Looks Great!

**HO455** · 08-31-2018, 03:25 PM

Sweet! The lift looks just right.

**68SWB4x4** · 09-06-2018, 10:45 AM

Great buy!

Suburbans look great in gold

I’d be interested in seeing how the gold interior looks or what’s left of it at least.

I’ve been pricing weather stripping and it is sure is pricey

52napco · 09-06-2018, 10:39 PM

I've got 2k in replacing some glass and weatherstrips...my glass guy did everything including windshield and new run channels and sweeps in all doors for 700

aerotest · 09-07-2018, 06:07 AM

Are replacements of the large piece of rear glass available?

52napco · 09-07-2018, 07:13 AM

Yes they are $249 for the pair.

**HO455** · 09-07-2018, 01:44 PM

That last photo sure shows what a great job your painter did with the paint repair. Nice!
