here are some update pics. I have been blessed to be busy at work so it has been a little slow going. Now I need some trim, hoops and a bumper and Im set. Oh some signals would be nice but I got something up my sleeve for that. If I could ever sell the GMC parts I took off I can start ordering new stuff. till next time guys. :metal:

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Nice work.....While you are at it....might as well change out the fender badges to chevy:D

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Oh there won't be any badges on it. Just working my way back.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Very nice. Your keeping the tailights though right??

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Oh no. I don't think so. Working on something back there. The po put some semi light out back and I plan on fixing that.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Any updates??

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

I am almost done getting my air ride stuff all together. I have to figure out what I am doing for a rear set up. I should prob keep it simple. Then I'll get the rest of the disc brake stuff together. That way I only have to tear apart once. I have sold all yhe gmc stuff I took off except the bumper, so time for an order of new parts is in my future.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

lookn good man

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Thanks guys. I'll try to keep updates comming

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Ok so some updates. MORE PARTS ORDERED and I have been building a stock pile of parts. The garage is getting full. Lets see.... new 15 rallies, trim rings, tires and all, full front and rear disc brake set up, and air ride stuff. Just need to get my fittings and a couple of front end parts like inner and outers, sleeves and a center link then its in the garage for the old girl. Time to tear her apart and work on that attitude... I mean altitude.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Time to get busy.....:)

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well worked on the garage for a couple of hours to get her in there to start the tear down. Man 3 hours of cleaning and throwing away ALOT of stuff. I found a bunch of parts I got for my Nova build 4 years ago.... new in box!! Some of the stuff I can use on the burb like the shaved door kit, some tail lights and other stuff. It was a TIGHT fit. I wll have to work on making more space. I will keep you guys posted on the updates.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

cool truck. can't wait to see it's new altitude!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

thanks man I am looking forward to driving my truck with the second round of changes.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well I started to dismantle it today. Got the driver side done, started on the pass side. Got a little tired so I called it quits... Ill hop on it again Thursday.

Later

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Nice progress!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well I have been working some more cleaning, cleaning, cleaning some more. It seems the more I clean and the deeper I go this starts to snow ball, sound familiar to anyone? Well the inner wheel wells came out, half of the wire harnest will have to be cleaned and repaired. Fixed a PS leak while I was in there. The flair on the line was messed up so I cut the line and reflaired it. Lets see if it works. Well I will start putting it all together tomorrow...

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

more progress.... still some stuff to tie up just working down the list.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Hmmmmm, I've seen those parts somewhere before.......:D.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

looking good!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Thanks VA72C10, just trying to clean it up and make it nice.
Rob, what can I say... im just waiting till you change your mind on your wheels so I can get them too!! LOL.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

ok got the front done, just need to pick up some shocks and get it aligned. Next onto the back.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Looks good,... but you have your center link on backwards.
The inner tie rods need to connect to the back side of the center link.
This has caused problems for other member recently.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Nice, good looking out Keith!! I will swap that around. I should have gone back to my reference pics I took before the tear down.
Thanks dude.
Juan

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

looking good Juan...that's gonna be really sweet when you get done...just curious what paint you're using?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Hey how's it going? Thanks for the compliments just trying to clean it up. Some of it's rustoleum and some is duplicolor chasis black.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

pretty good...still on the job hunt...got a couple new prospects though, so hopefully one will work out...other than that, i can't complain too much...just got engaged on Saturday!

i'm gonna have to come down there to see both your & Rob's Burb's...good luck on the build, & keep up the good work

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Lookin good! Man, I want one of these!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well UPS left me something at the door. What a difference a little chrome makes..... makes me wonder if its overkill a bit. I could always put this one on the Nova and take the new disc disc MC from it and put it on my truck... Nahhh LOL. Have a good night guys.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

well I started on the rear about a month ago. I installed a CPP notch and it was not low enough. So a call to Nate at PB was made and a weld in notch kit and a ta xmember was ordered. I got it in and have started the tear down again. I knew I wanted this the first time... you all know how that goes. More pics to come very soon. I removed the shock tower bar today and some other stuff that is in the way... now the list of things I want to change and make better keeps growing!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

I must say it was fun pulling the sawzall out and cutting up the exhaust to get it out of the way. The first hole and cut in the wood was hard to do but I got over it quickly.

Lookin good! Subscribed!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Well at 8:57am today my wife gave birth to our son Ethan. Shortly after she looks at me and said "finish your burb" lol. Same thing happened with my Nova.
