Cool, it still has special paint though :)

Thanks! I am to, Hopefully clean up and install some new seals on these axles soon. Swap them in so I actually feel comfortable driving the damn thing and enjoy it. Might take a little longer than it should. I want to lift it at the same time and the 68s are a bit tricky so I got to do some research. I want to do it right. I have some 16x8 "rally" wheels I will probably run after the 3/4 swap

The liftgate is solid man, I didn't see any signs of rust or even close to it but I'll shake it good just for you.

OH SWEET BURB!!!! They went to truck heaven here like 30 yrs ago

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

I paid 2,000 for it less than a month ago so I would want the same. If not I will just drive it and keep it or give it to my 17 year old brother.

I really like the way it sits as is. That was a steal. I'm glad I didn't see it, it would be in my driveway as well. Keep us posted on your progress-nice to see you back.

Congratulations!! that is a really nice burb, i saw it a week ago on top
of a hill (101) U are lucky it is a 4x4....cause the thing would be sittin in my garage if it were a 2wd. Love the side trim and front end. :ito:

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Its nice but it needs to LOOK like a 4x4. If I am swapping the axles I might as well throw some springs on it while its all apart.

thanks man I will start a build thread once I have all the parts for the first stage.

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

thats the one. My moms ranch is in Aromas so I was driving over there Saturday morning, glad I did!

The guy said he put it out there on Friday.

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Nice find! All your suggested upgrades are going to be pretty cool.....:D.

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

it's a beaut

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Awesome burb!

Hey can you take some detailed photo's of the seat covers for me?

I am gonna have to have a set of three made from scratch, since no one makes 67/68 pattern OEM covers for the burbs. I have a source for the fabric and vinyl now, so that is no longer a problem.

I'm interested in close ups of the fabric insert, the back panels, and the best close up you can get of the vinyl grain.

Thanks!

Oh, if you find a company that makes new springs for this baby then let me know who it is! I can't find any of the usual companies that make 67/68 leafs, so I had to have my originals re-arched and I'd be interested in a set of new ones.

Back from the dead thread..

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Really like this GMC.
Back from the dead thread.... part 2

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Yeah too bad some of the pictures don't load now. :(

But on the 1st page it looks good.

Any updates on the 'burb?

Re: 68 GMC suburban 4x4 50th anniversary
 

Thanks everyone I got it lifted with a dana 60 under the front. Swapping in 454 tbi/th400/np205 from an 87 1 ton I have a build thread which I haven't updated in forever also. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=312252

I bought a house so priorities have changed. Plus been super busy with my other passion of Strongman competitions.

I plan on towing it out to my new house and getting back to working on it next month!
