Nice build, but how about posting more pictures of your Burb???

98L150 · 11-17-2008, 04:33 PM

I should have on started on it shortly as I also order a dropmember for my burb when we order these kit, but I first gotta finish my 64 with a dropmember already installed on it.

Great looking project, keep us posted on your progress!

OARNGESI · 11-17-2008, 10:55 PM

Looks good what are kou gonna do with the body

68 short step · 11-17-2008, 11:18 PM

looks great. whatcha gonna do for the bed?

98L150 · 11-18-2008, 12:44 PM

the truck will start body work and mods once the chassis is all done. he has all the body parts and they will be slicked and painted. The bed will have a removable step notch cover so that he can show off the suspension. Thanks for the interest

RunninLo · 11-18-2008, 11:15 PM

just a heads up on the burb frame there is one body mount that gets removed to accomodate the frame 4-link mounts. I'll probably have to fab something there unless it seems strong enough without. Besides from what Nate has told me I can kiss my 2nd row seat goodbye so it's not like anyone will be sitting back there.

**lolife99** · 11-18-2008, 11:27 PM

2nd row seat? Or do you mean 3rd row?

Painter D · 11-18-2008, 11:31 PM

What paint did he use for the satin black ???

98L150 · 11-20-2008, 10:48 PM

being it was temporary paint for just a couple of shows before he tore it down, he spayed it with rustolium spay paint using one of those trigger you snap on to the spray can.

2nd. I never had a 3rd row. I may be able to build/upholster something for more seating but the stock 2nd row will never fit again. I'll know more once i get the body back on the frame.
