My ultimate dream machine is to drop this Burb body onto a Dodge 4X4 one ton single rear wheel frame, coils up front, Cummins under the hood, etc, etc!! I have told my wife that I can do this 71 with all the cushy comfort of a new vehicle w/cummins and or FI and the interior and still not have the payment of the new cushy vehicle!! We'll see! After watching the board member in PHX build a wicked 4X4 Burb with a Cummins but on the Burb frame, I am more inclined to try the body swap onto an extended cab dodge frame!!
