Got the burb home.......pictures. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Scorp · 11-26-2006, 09:15 PM

Finally got the burb delivered. I have spent hours cleaning to see what I have. You can truely tell it is a one owner all original. The build sheet was totally ruinated. The hood picture is from 2 hours of buffing. The last pic is what I have in store for it.

kris johnson · 11-26-2006, 09:20 PM

that is a very nice burb,love the after picture.

CG · 11-26-2006, 09:23 PM

Wow that thing is in nice shape. Suicide that back door and you have a winner.

Scorp · 11-26-2006, 09:59 PM

a couple more pics.

72GMCburban · 11-26-2006, 11:16 PM

You got to be kidding NO RUST!!! That thing is clean clean clean...must be nice to pick from the desert

Super nice find!! I love the suicide 3rd door, how do u do that?

morenocruz · 11-27-2006, 12:54 AM

WOW, please don't tell my wife, but I think an old burb with NO rust is just plain SEXY!!!

bad_turbo · 11-27-2006, 02:08 AM

great looking suburban!

Bishops Trucks · 11-27-2006, 02:22 AM

That thing is SOLID! Great find and happy to hear you have it home in your stable. It's great to find a solid no rust truck. Something that is rare on the east coast where I'm from. I did get one off ebay from Nebraska. It is an originally California built truck and had been in Nebraska for the last 2 years.

'72 Chevy Suburban · 11-27-2006, 07:52 AM

Very nice find! Those of us that live in the rust belt are envious....

I am from kansas so I know what you mean. I am taking this baby back with me.

'72 Chevy Suburban · 11-27-2006, 09:51 PM

Way to go, Scorp! I keep telling myself to buy my next vehicle from the Southwest. Sigh...

*72CSTC5* · 11-27-2006, 10:38 PM

You Arizona guys S**K. That has to be the cleanest most rust free thing I have ever seen. I guess most of your time will be spent customizing it. Money well spent. Did you buy it from 84 year old grandpa who had it since new.

bad_turbo · 11-27-2006, 11:10 PM

I got a question about the backseat. Was it an option for the backseat to be as wide as that one is, cause the one in my '67 burb is shorter.

qksilver · 11-27-2006, 11:11 PM

Sweet

I believe it was an option. They are called full length seats. You probably have the 3/4 length seat. Those were shorter so the third seat could be accessed.

bad_turbo · 11-28-2006, 12:24 AM

that was my guess too, except, my burb didn't come with a 3rd seat. Maybe I have the wrong seat in mine.

Yup one owner...........well errrrrrrr two now.

Nice ride! It's almost too nice to change. You don't find those gems up here in the Massachusetts saltland.

Really nice!

I have to admit to a moment of sadness - the last picture is cool, but it's so straight it really seems to beg for a straight resto to my eyes. To every cat his own rat

**Hart_Rod** · 11-28-2006, 10:19 PM

, and that's all I got to say about that.

Frizzle Fry · 12-06-2006, 12:15 PM

Wow! What's the plan for the drivetrane? Love the rendering. What do you think about white below the lower trim with the white top? That look has really grown on me. Those wheels and stance are on the money! Have fun.

Pickles · 12-06-2006, 12:52 PM

my burb has the 3 seats, and yes the second one is 3/4 seat, where you can go beside it to get to the back one.

I have to admit that I feel the same way. That is a really nice burb to start off with no matter what way you go. A resto sure would be quick and a lot cheaper than building a rod out of it... Good luck & keep us posted!

el curioso · 12-07-2006, 11:09 PM

Drop, rims and a bit of crome will do IMO ditch the paint it's a nice BUrban
