I can finally post something here! I started cleaning the rear area of my Burb out. I found a ton of magazines, majority of which are still readable. A lot of National Geographic, some Wyoming Wildlife, and some other misc magazines. All from the late 60s to the early 80s. There was even a National Geographic from 1969...the issue from when we landed on the moon. There was some old parts too. Sorry I didn't take pics. I was just trying to make progress.

Replace the rear shocks with a set of old stock monroe magnums.They were originally for the front of a 70-96 g van.Work great with the 5" drop.

Here are the pictures of everything back from Media Blasting

The Cab - Needs a little work in the floors from setting for so long. It is not bad just needs a little attention.

The Doors - Couple of small dents, no rust at all.

The Hood - Needs a little straightening, no rust at all.

The Cowl - Perfectly straight, no rust at all.

The Fenders - Perfectly Straight, no rust at all.

The Grill - Perfectly Straight, no rust at all.

Here is the Vac and Tach Gauge Cluster I have been working on for it. Still waiting for the Gauge Surround to get back from Chrome Plating.

It is a combination of 3 different Gauge Clusters, a Tac/Transmitter and Vac purchased off evil-bay and an NOS Temp Gauge.

Scrapped off 46 years of paint, road grime and undercoating under drivers fender. Fenders are still on truck, scraped by hand, no power tools. Can barley move my right arm but making progress while waiting on parts.

Today I machined a DD in my steering shaft, then cut a piece of stress proof and put a DD on that aswell. If I remember tomorrow I'll finish my rack standoffs so I can start to finish the steering. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...m/6f5e65f4.jpg
