Nice Burb!

^^Agreed^^, nice look, we need some front/rear shots now

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

I'm a new meber here, and I just love this thread :)

This is my car, 1966 C10 Suburban, who has been rodded before it came to Norway. It came here in 2008 from Scotchdale, Arizona, and i bought it last summer. The car is a joy to drive with its 454CBB machine and 400 turbomatic gearbox. The suspension and bakes are still original, but I consider to rebuild it to diskbrakes and a 2 way system from a g20 van. The rear axle is still original too, but I'm going to change it to a 10 bolt axle.
The big plan is to get it leagal to drive here on norwegian plates.

A few more pics of my sweet Carry-All :)
I even managed to get a price in a lokal show, since the car is rare here in Norway, and people actually likes the bully-look on it :) I'm keeping the look btw ;) Inside, the doors, roof and dash is patina, the floor in the back is still wood, and all 3 seatroads is fixed with new leather. :)

Good thread

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Welcome aboard! That's a cool Burb, & it looks to be very solid. Sounds like you have good plans for it. Good luck, & have fun. Keep us updated. :bowtie:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

very cool ..what do you need to get it legal in norway?

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

I am curious to know as well, rules are a bit more strict outside the US to legally drive a US built auto, it would be great to see some pics of your Burban driving on the road with the other European models.

Very nice looking truck, Willkömmen to the board.

Here's something different;

This Burb has served, back in the day, as an EMT vehicle in Israel (what is known here as Magen David)- see it in a period photo:

Later sold, and was left to rot somewhere in Jerusalem, last year it was rescued and made drive-able again. I took it's photo in May, and it looked like this:

Well, some weeks ago the new owner was finished with its restoration and a ceremony (organized by the local classic cars club) was held upon which the Burb was revealed, together with modern EMTs on site...:

Now, a personal note: I have a special relation to this Burb, as it was owned by my Mom's uncle! I was not aware of this at the time, otherwise you would have seen a "my new Burb" thread... and not an EMT restoration but a more modified Burb, something along the lines of this Burb, which was also at the event:

However, I feel that it's very responsible of the current owner to restore the Burb to its service days' looks- it is a part of Israel's past and nowadays, NOBODY thinks about preservation of these vehicles, except private individuals.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

^^^ Very cool! While the outside looks great, I can't help but wonder why there wasn't more attention to detail under the hood. Regardless, I like the fact that it was kept as an ambulance. Think of all the stories that thing could tell if it could talk!

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Thanks, mate.

Yes, I also think the engine could have been better displayed...

See the interior:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Very cool.
I sure think that spare was meant to be mounted under the rear deck...considering the custom rear bumper. I
Beautiful, none the less.

very nice 4x4 Burb! :metal:

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

two different trucks that you are looking at. look at the rear doors they are different .
I was looking at it all wrong that other door is to the frt and that spare tire is mounted forward. I was looking at it, thinking automatically that the spare would have been mounted to the back. I guess that the thought may be that if they did get a flat that the s-pare would be a lot more readily available up top if they needed to change a tire in a hurry

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures
 

Saved this "Creampuff" from the crusher. Sitting 13 years. Came with a strong 327 and uninstalled, rebuilt 400 tranny. Did disc brake conversion with 2 1/2" drop spindles, 2" drop springs in front, 5" in the back. Scored some OG camper special rims 15x8's and wrapped 'em in some 225/75 tires. Now it's time for a ton of body and interior work. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/k...k/burban-1.jpg
