Pretty sure it's not OE...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Ya I don't think so. It sits so far back that it doesn't leave much room for the back seat.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

the middle seat was there when i got it, the 3rd seat came off a 74 k5

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Thanks Johnny, ya I knew the back seat was a newer one but something about that middle seat just doesn't seem right, even though it bolted right in. hmmm

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

The guy you bought it from didn't mention why he had it chained up did he?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

just that it would go too far back...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

That may be some old-skool aftermarket deal for a van or suburban... maybe its's an International Travelall piece...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

It is an IH piece

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

How'd you figure it out?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Ok, thanks.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

ebay... they got good research pictures. And I thought I recognized the full-length bench with the wheel well reliefs. You should take a look at a travelall, they are definitely an SUV engineered WAY ahead of its time! I would take an IH second to a 67-72 GM any day!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Right on, thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Saw this one at ther Charlotte Autofair....It was extremely nice!!!:D Sorry Newtz, don't mean to cloud your build thread!!!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

I haven't really been able to find pics of the factory seat that should be in mine. Does anyone have pics of the middle and back seats, showing the mounting of the middle seat? Thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

looks nice. did you go get the hubcaps from rene

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Here ya go... Hopefully these show you what you need. I know they aren't the best pics... Haha

If you need some more, just lemme know.

P.S. These are from a '72, but I think the mounting is the same.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Yes sir.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Riveted1, thank you for those pics! That's exactly what I wanted to see.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Yes sir, I'll try to get some pics up in a while.:metal:

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

So yesterday the boy and me made a trip over to slickricks house, and thanks to Rick and his dad ( great guys btw) picked up some parts. Parts include a very much needed middle seat, some new tail light lenses, a few exterior door handles, etc... Thanks guys! I am now looking for the seat mounting brackets for this seat. Also the neighbor brought by a custom gas tank that he built for his blazer, and now has no need for. Looks like it's gonna work great!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

The gas tank.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Did you see this? Brackets

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

nice looks good. Hows it running now. brakes all good? i like how you know your way around engines. when should i drop my engine off?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Yes, I did see that. Great info! Thanks. I also need the mounts for the back of the seat, if you know where I could find those.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Thanks, brakes are good, and it runs great! I'm working in lemoore right now if you want me to stop by and pick up your engine along with all your money! haha

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

did ya get those brake lights working?:D

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

I may have some extras laying around, let me check.

Smitty

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Haha not yet.:smoke:

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

That would be awesome! Thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

lol all my money. you'd get such a low amount!

do the rebuilds cost you alot even when you do it yourself? most cost is probably the machining.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Parts are a big chunk too depending on what you have or reuse. A decent small block like I like to build runs about $2500. My big block cost me about $4000, including the cost of the motor itself to begin with. There's a company in Sacramento that sells 350s and 383s on ebay for around $2000. They warranty them too.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

have u ever got one of those ebay motors , Newtz???
