Hey where'd you get the rocker patch panel from?? Friend of mine just picked up a burb and his rockers are completely gone


Your build is looking sick by the way!!! :metal:

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

mine are all truck rocker panels, i dont believe they make burb specific ones except the 3rd door but cant remember where i seen that one at. the one im using for the 3rd door i got with the burb when i bought it, and the other ones i have i bought on here off a member in the 67-72 trucks classified section

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Cool man. Cant wait to see all the new goodies get put on the burb.

Where is the battery going? I think mine is going in the cargo area.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Its going out back in the cargo area, but it will be hidden inside a military ammo box made to hold a few 80mm (i think) morter cannon rounds :D
there is a pic of it a few pages back or so lol

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Thats right, I remember seeing it. My tank, battery and valves are going on the front side of the notch behind the back seat. I will make some kind of cover so its all hidden.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Lol. that's where my tank, rear valves, and compressors are at. but the rear valves MIGHT be getting moved... i plan on leaving my at least my air tank exposed
