Re: Newtz '68 Burb
I had a 68 c10 307 with a three on the tree and overdrive. I never did get it to work right. when i sold it the new owner pointed out that there was a fuse holder near the brake booster that was missing a fuse. it had somthing to do with the over drive.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So the best deal I've found for a gas tank is The Truck Shop. $192 + shipping for the tank, sending unit, and straps. Anybody have a better idea? Thanks for any input...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So we are looking at making an attempt to start the burb this afternoon. Will follow up with pics and possibly a vid. Fingers crossed!
|
Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Well we got it fired up! In the video my wife says second try, but the first try we didnt even attempt because I realized the throttle linkage wasn't hooked up, so this was our actual first try. Just wanted to clear that up. haha:metal:

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Newt, you should have drove it over here and picked up those hubcaps, looking good!!!! :chevy:
|
Re: Newtz '68 Burb
I'm jealous! Even when I suspected I had catastrophic engine issues, I would take the burb for a cruise around the block just to calm my nerves!

So this last weekend we got it running and Evanz67 went crazy on the tint and peeled it all off. Thanks pal! Had a little bit of a worry cause it wouldn't go into gear. No big thing, we pulled the cover and pulled the clutch pads away from the flywheel as they were a little stuck. Runs like a dream and shifts just as good. Over drive doesn't seem to work, but haven't researched it yet.
Ok, today the boy and I got the brakes working, got the oil pressure gauge working, new air filter installed, and thanks to a really good guy, got us some hubcaps! We even drove it into town to the auto parts store! |
Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Love those hubcaps!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So Johnny, after seeing all the work involved are you glad you stopped working on it? The owner before you must have had some old gas in that thing for a lot of years.... That gas tank was gone.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
yah im glad i stoped working on it but i really wanted to drive it, but im happy i used the money to buy me a nice used car trailer like i wanted and needed.

Tried out my new sandblaster from harbor freight! Just a quickie job to see how it would do. Not bad for an 8 gallon 125 psi compressor and a sandblaster that I got for $15 on sale and with a coupon! haha

Now, on to the questions. Is this the original middle seat for a 68 suburban? It seems to sit too far back, and you can see the chain that the ppo had in it to keep the back from leaning too much. Thank you for any info!
