After years of looking... finally found a medium blue K10 Burb. Has some great options on it...but nothing fancy. Here is the first pic of usual rust repair.

Nice find Tommy. Glad to see you posting. Did you sell your diesel powered Suburban?

We have another member from Rowlett on here. His username is "KW5413". When I first saw he was from Rowlett I wondered if you might know him.

Hey there Leon...how are you my friend.
I still have the other 71, which had the 6.2 diesel in it. I took it off the frame, and robbed the drivetrain and put into my 72 K5. Not sure why I did it, just bored and went way further than I should have LOL.
I love this blue one...factory 350/4-speed. 3.73 Posi rear. Has all 3 seats as well. Best thing is that it runs and drives. Working on getting it rust free, which it will be by the end of the week. Gonna get it roadworthy soon after metal work. Oh, and it has one of those travel tanks, which is somewhere between 40-50 gallons. I'll keep updating soon. Hope all well bud.

Nice find! Did it have a white top originally?

I envy folks who can knock out rust repairs so quickly. It's always a long ordeal for me.
