overall length? Will it fit in my garage!
 
Guys,

I sold my rusted out 68 I had and am now the new owner of a '72, but I've moved into a newer house now and have a smaller garage. Just wondering if you guys have the overall length of your burb so I can check to see if its getting inside treatment or the driveway.

I pick it up in 2 weeks, can't wait.

Later,
Dave

My garage is 20 feet deep outside dimensions, framed with 2x6s and it has doors. My burb barely fits with the doors closed. maybe 6-8 inches left.

Thanks! Had the guy measure it today when I confirmed he received my funds, so it will fit.

Thanks,
Dave

Well, deal is done and I'm on my way tonight to go get the sucker http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-...QQcmdZViewItem, and hitting a swapmeet in Moultrie on the way home, may score some parts on the way back!

WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY

1967 - 1972 Chevy & GMC 1/2 ton "C/10" Suburbans and Panels are 71 3/4" high, 79" wide, and 215 1/2" long.

After this the only differance is the hight

K/10 - 73 1/2" High

C/20 - 73 1/4" High.

K/20 - 75" High.

This is from the 1968 Chevrolet Truck Data Book.

hard to believe they weigh less than 4000lbs. Must be the 4x4 model that weighs more.

I have a hard time believing that, as well; I recently weighed mine and with me in it, it was nearly 4600lbs; I'm only 205.
