My 97 Tahoe is just to short to pull my heavy trailer, so I bought the yellow 72 4x4 to do the work. But it was a little rough for my taste so I bought the blue one. It is a 72, BB, tilt/tach, front and rear air with a ¾ ton rear end.

One of the previous owners was a racer and used it to haul/push his drag car so I am hoping the engine is a hoss. I don’t think the engine is the original 402. I hope it is a 454 or a 427, but I have not had time to confirm it.

Anyway I just wanted to see if any of ya’ll have used these burbs to haul with. I think it would be cool to use it haul my project to shows/ events, but I also need it to haul my junk trucks around.
