Oh man nice ride! Our 02 Burby is nice, but that is the cat's @**! Good luck on your build, and nice Silverado you had. Details on the kit for the SFA would be cool, or did you built that?

No, I used the ORU kit... I was in a hurry to get done with the project! If I did it again, I would have built everything myself. I built the axles myself though. The front springs are 4 inch from a 73-87 chevy truck, and the rears are 8 inch custom made... I wish I could remember the name of the place I got them made. They cost me $100 per inch which is a real good price

I need to remove all pictures of that truck... I really really really really miss that truck!!!!!

That, or I need to get the Burb done FAST

Well most of us probably enjoy the pics and would like more, so you better just get the burb done to enjoy a tuff 4x4 again.

Well it has been a while since I have had any time to work on my truck, especially with the Yukon down. I did get back to California for my Sister-in-law's wedding. My wife took pictures of family... I took pictures of my brothers 70 Chevy and 68 parts truck... After this weekend I should be back in the garrage for a few days, I have some work to get done on the Burb!!!!

for those who thought I may be cutting up a cherry Suburban...

I found another issue with the frame... it is fixable if I keep this frame.

I am waiting on machine work to get done on the block for the Yukon, so I had some time to spend on the body of the Burb. I started by checking the cancer on the drivers side floor. I knocked several holes through the metal with my wire wheel. On the passenger side there is a screwed-down patch that was hiding under caulk and insulation. So along with the 4th door the Burb is gonna get a whole new floor and rockers...

Then my distraction woke up...

I am really procrastinating getting my welder working... I need to get the body braced before I cut anything out.
