Found a couple of burbs??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VanceH · 07-13-2009, 11:52 AM

Found these two burbs, both 70 chevs, one has a GMC front clip and is a 3/4 ton, the other is 1/2 ton with a 68 chev front. I can get them for about 300.00 apiece. I am going to go look at them but thought id check out what everyone thought.

Thanks
Vance

i'd say go for it, if you have the room. there's probably plenty of good parts on them.

VanceH · 07-13-2009, 12:09 PM

LOL room is no problem i have 5 acres just waiting for something to put on it!!!

**Hart_Rod** · 07-13-2009, 12:12 PM

Sweet! Are you parting them or building? Does the brown one have a liftgate/tailgate?

VanceH · 07-13-2009, 12:14 PM

Both have barn doors, i would build the 1/2 ton as a driver not sure what i would do with the other one??

cool. i'd say once you've finished with the driver, part the other

seabeecm1 · 07-13-2009, 05:10 PM

WOW! that looks awsome hope to find something like that down here in fla.

**kev2809** · 07-13-2009, 11:13 PM

I would get em both if I had the room. u could part just one of em and get all ur money back. nice find

mindhive · 07-14-2009, 12:02 AM

Are they very rusty? I may be interested in a whole cab sometime this summer if the one u don't use is good. Also is the OD green one an ex army truck with the ID plate on the glove box? Any possibility you would be interested in trading for a 73 front suspension x-member with disc brakes?

$300 each is nothing for those suburbans. If that were a deal I found they would already be in my driveway. You need to buy them before someone else does. Your chances of finding two decent 67-72 burbs for $600 again are going to be slim.

**special-K** · 07-15-2009, 05:02 AM

I don`t see an o.d.green one.That brown one has the`70-only original color on it.How`s the rust on that one.I see the yellow one has some typical rust.
I`d go for it.Are they home yet?

I`d offer $500 for the pair.How are all the doors on yellow one?I`d build the brown one using what I needed off the yellow one and sell off the extra. parts.can`t go wrong

Longhorn Man · 07-19-2009, 09:58 AM

and......?

**kev2809** · 07-19-2009, 11:04 AM

so ya get em? do they have titles?

VanceH · 07-19-2009, 11:39 AM

Well after visting with the the wife we decided to not buy these. I wish i could but i dont want to get spread to thin, i am wanting a driver. I have a trade that i am working on a 70 burb hopefully it will go. If anyone is interested in these i will help out if needed

72armyswbtruck · 07-22-2009, 02:59 AM

I was going to buy these burbs, the seller is a board member, works mainly on 60 to 66 trucks. Great guy. Yellow one is trashed tons of rust, Brown one is pretty straigt, 3 of the 4 ambulance doors are in good shape.
Just no place to store them.

VanceH · 07-22-2009, 09:36 AM

Ya I visited with him and he seemed like a great guy, i reallly wanted both of them but decided to focus on my 67 instead!!

71'tahoe · 07-22-2009, 07:41 PM

Man o man...I want these..are they still for sale? I could go back to building my tahoe..only I guess itd be 70' instead of 71' do you have a zip code and an adress so I could do a mileage check? thanks.

VanceH · 07-22-2009, 08:26 PM

As far as i know they are still available. If you want i can send you his email. Hes just outside Boise Idaho, 83704 is a zip that will put you within 15 miles or so.

71'tahoe · 07-22-2009, 08:43 PM

Sure if you wouldnt mind. I would appreciated it greatly.

capev86 · 07-22-2009, 09:16 PM

use the rusty one for a (gasp) tahoe build. a nice straight truck deserves a resto in my opinon. are they both 2wd or 4wd? i'd use the 3/4 ton parts if they are the same drive train configuration and just run with disc brakes on the front as 70's have drums. my 72 burb 3/4 ton 2wd has bigger disc brakes than 1/2 ton trucks, so it doesn't need an upgrade!
