Looking to buy a burb need advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 70 c-10 and a 56 3100. I know a little about buying those now thanks to some trial an error. Most of the error came at a price..... Anyway, what kind of things should I look for. I have my eye on a 69. Do the burbs rust mostly in the same areas as the c-10's (Floors, floor supports, cab corners, wheel wells, etc)? Are there any things perticular to the burb that I need to look out for?

Thanks,
Steve

The same areas you mentioned on the truck are the same areas to look at on the Burbs. The hatch and the tailagate are also places of concern. Word of advice, buy one out west........
