Last Burb

I bought this 68 Burb to keep it from being parted out. I need this like I need a hole in the head.

I thought it was a 67, but it is in fact a 68.

Re: Last Burb

I'd keep it, and build it!
1968 was a low production year for 4x4 Suburbans.

It's actually a really solid looking K10 burb from what the pictures show.
Can you take some photo's of the engine compartment for me?

Sure. I think it is the factory drive line.

Re: Last Burb

Trade it to Chris for his 1970 SWB K-10 pick up, then he could have a before and after set.

(I know his is a K-20, but still.)

Re: Last Burb

That burb comes up for sale every year.

(I use to live in the town that this burb is in, and I have a sneaking suspicion as to who worked on it).

BTW. for those of you thinking about the fabric headliner that is being sold by vendors, take a look at the second video and you will see one in there. No offense to the owner of this burb, but that is the whole reason why I didn't put one in.

Re: Last Burb

Thanks for the pictures.
I'm curious about the seat pattern, since I am considering an all vinyl seat cover for my burb.

Can you take pictures of the seat with a tape measure on the middle section, this would be used as a guide for an upholsterer to make me a similar cover. The pleated area.

PM me if you want to just email them to me, rather than clutter up this thread.

Thanks!

Re: Last Burb

Also, I see that it has the fuel filter option on the spid.

If I am correct, there should be the heavy duty style frame mount fuel filter on the passenger side? Can you verify that, and if there is one there I would love a photo of it.

(I love these kinds of trucks, ones that haven't been messed with or restored).

I'll check on Monday. I think I'm leaving this one unrestored. It is really beat up. I believe this was a county water truck. On the rear windows there is the water logo and you can still find the old decals on the floor.

Re: Last Burb

If I had it, it looks like it would be more fun to leave it as is.
Though I would of course freshen up the drive train and brakes, but these 4x4 burbs are a blast when they are like this when set up to be reliable.
