[72duraburb]

The start of the build was a 72 burb that originated form arizona so it had front and rear air. Started with a bare frame and a 72 pickup cab to make sure of clearance problems along the way used a fatman front with air ride. moved the engine as low and rearward as I could get it then fabed some motor mounts and trans crossmember. The engine is a 06 lbz duramax with the 6spd allison trans with the 12bolt in question came a richmond gear 3.08 ratio yukon axles eaton center section and cover with bearing supports. I also used aftermarket tailing arms in the rear also did some tweeking on the engine at this point I was about a month or 2 into the project. started right before christmas. I have some pics of the build that I will try to get posted if I can figure out how. once all of the above was done I put the body of the burb on the chassy and started to enjoy! We left iowa with about 1200 miles on the swap to head to florida on the power tour and let the fun begin!! Since my return home i have replaced the front with the factory cradle and tubular arms 2in modular spindels an 13in wilwoods on the front and a dana 60 from moser and 12 wilwoods on the back. I am in the process of doing a stage 5 kit in the allison trans so I can make some more power safely. I will be at good guys this weekend car craft nats in minnisota and all deisel drags in bandimere in august. I thought the 13.1 was pretty respectful considering the 25 gal of fuel in the tank and our luggage in the back not to mention the first time in my life ever being on a drag strip. This project is the best build I have ever done it makes awesome power has air and can hold the wife and all four kids with room to spare!!
