yeah....my dad sold his 72 burb in the fall of '91 when i was in 5th grade, so 4 years before i started high school. what i did borrow a couple times was my dad's 84 burb c10 he had after 72. we stuck a 406sbc in it in 95 for better towing power and during solo driving it was like a camaro. with that deep first gear in the 700r4 and 3.73 gears i could go lay rubber easy. the truck was a rust bucket by the late 90's but we pulled the motor and it will eventually end up in my 72 burb c20. with 4.10 gears and 3 on the tree it will be more of a cruising/towing rig and less of a speed demon, but i do have an o/d saginaw-borg warner to go in for highway driving so i can get decent mpg. (i hear gas is supposed to hit $5 by summer 2012).
