'62 In Washington
 

Hi there,

Just picked up a '62 out of Utah for my wife. Her grandfather had one when she was a kid, and wanted one to remember him by.

I'll post pics in a bit..

This was Grandpa, and his Burb.

Want to put some black steel wheels on it, wheels on there look much too '80s for me.

Re: '62 In Washington
 

Got the burb out for a little run on the 4th, went and stayed at a cabin. Learned a couple things..

This truck likes premium fuel. (detonation on regular)

Wipers only work by holding the button in the middle.

Fun truck to drive.

Lots of room in back.

Some pics..

Re: '62 In Washington
 

Plenty of room is right and those barn doors make loading up a snap. Looks like you have the bolt down back seats as opposed to the sliders. Still heavy and cumbersome either way, but it's great you have them all.

Re: '62 In Washington
 

I have the 3rd full width seat as well, They have a fresh cloth bowtie design on them that we will be wanting to swap out for a leather or good vinyl

Truck drives better, has better brake feel and can keep up with highway traffic. Fairly gutless tho, will probably get a V8 sometime next year.

Re: '62 In Washington
 

Our plan is to keep it very original looking and at the same time make it capable of cross country drives.
