When I started to look... I wanted 4x4 - for winter trips to a family cabin (mud/snow). I came across a lot of nice 4x2s, but held out until I found the one I wanted (4x4). I think you'd have a nice 4x4 with your plans mentioned above. That's a nice burb you're looking into.... keep us posted! You don't see too many original looking 4x4s... so you'd have something that's admired by many.

Thanks! It will be more perfect when it has some paint on it and finally has A/C.

Now see, this is something else I like about mine.

You do not see too many with the option that has the A/C under the bench seat. Still want to modernize mine with a Vintage Air or some other kit but for now, heck I am leaving well enough alone! ;)

I'm developing a possible craving for a 4X4 'Burb, so I'd like to revive this thread and see more pics of these big beauties.

olblue60@aol.com 11-23-2011 06:26 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
Hey Tony
I cant say wich kind of burb is the best because there are different needs for each burb owner. I happen to love the 4x4 burbs. I have had three and all I can say is they are great vehicles. I'm down to just a 68 now, which is my first burb. I also owned a really rusty 1972. Maybe I still do. I took off the old rusty body and replaced it with a 1967 panel body. :)

C20-67_N_MO 11-23-2011 08:25 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
Well I sold my Suburban and having withdrawls.

It just had too much rust for me and my body man to deal with. So hoping the next one I get will be in better condition.

PHAT TONY 11-23-2011 09:02 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
I think I'm safe in saying if I find "the" 4x4 my Blazer has to go away, and after building my Blazer...,the Suburban would have to be done and done nicely.

C20-67_N_MO 01-29-2012 09:37 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
I am on the hunt for another 'burb, but this time in better condition body wish.

Keep posting 4 wheelin' Suburbans guys!

Lol sounds like what I used to have. a 1967 that I paid way too much for. And it had rust or I mean to say rust was its best friend. :lol:

Always on the hunt for a 2wd 'burb as I plan to transplant onto a 2004 wrecked Suburban chassis and running gear.

Of course you can play as long as you don't tell anyone that my front driveshaft isn't bolted in mine.

You should definitely start a build thread for that snow buster you're building.

Here you go.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=503386 I started this thread in the message section, when i bought it and then it turned into something that should have gone in the "Projects and Builds" section.. oops:lol:

C20-67_N_MO

Here is the info you asked for.

Bought the burb back in 1997 and drove it about 6 months ,3rd owner 56k and the rust came from setting in the grass/ weeds.

Spec:

1972 Custom delux / 20
350/350/205
D44/eaton 4:10 gears
Rubber mat front to back
Non A/C but have a complete roof A/C from a 70burb front to rear.
6" skyjacker F&R springs
3 row bench seats all great.
35" BFG AT Ko / 9.75 x 16.5 KH wheels ( just waiting )

Now the new build

It's going to be a frame off rotisserie color combo will stay the same.

Plans keep changing
tailgate / hatch ,door barn door.
6.0 4l80E
5.9 Cummins 47re
D60/ D70HD 3:73 gears.

That all until the build start. I be doing 3 other builds at the same time.

Thanks

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
If I ever found a decent deal on a 72 3/4 4x4 burb with front and rear air I would probably pick it up. Im not looking for one, but if it fell in to my lap =)

I think we got $6500 for it. It was faded but had a perfect interior.
we bought it to keep but someone had to have it worse than we wanted it.

CG 02-22-2012 07:18 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
Yeah it looks good but thats way more than I would want to spend. Im sure that one was worth it, I just need something a little clunkier so it would fit in my budget =)

C20-67_N_MO 02-22-2012 09:17 PM

Re: Show me your 4x4 Suburbans!
 
Very nice sir.

My dream burb would be to buy a 2wd in decent condition body wise and take it down to the frame. Then find either 5.3/6.0 liter with all tranny/transfer case and other modern fare. Once the body has been gone thru would transfer all to new running chassis and interior. Green with white strip. 33-35" tires maybe a turbo 5.3 liter. Just in the planning stage now.

Like I said just a dream in my head right now. :lol:

I do not know that area but just seeing another awesome 4x4 'burb makes me want to get back on track and get going on the one I want.

EXCELLENT Suburbans guys.

I am sure everyone appreciates sharing with the folks here. :metal:

My old 72 burb! Factory BB, a/c front/rear, tilt, tach, was an original 2wd and I swapped to a 4wd frame. First pic is with 3/4 tons, 12" springs, 3" body lift with 42" super swampers. The truck drove really nice!! 2nd pic is with 2-1/2 ton rockwells, with 6.38'a, lockers front and rear and 44" boggers. This thing was a blast in the river!! I should have some better pics somewhere
