**too much stuff** · 12-09-2012, 06:40 PM

Not much to say.

teeitup · 12-09-2012, 06:42 PM

get the lockouts

jjzepplin · 12-09-2012, 06:44 PM

It'll buff out?

**Stocker** · 12-09-2012, 06:59 PM

Still a few good bits.... not many though.

blkcorvair · 12-09-2012, 07:05 PM

oh my

**special-K** · 12-09-2012, 07:13 PM

That's a shame to see that wrecker body and rig scrapped. Oh wait,there's a 4wd Suburban in the foreground,too. What a shame x2

71K20chevy · 12-09-2012, 07:31 PM

It can be saved!

big bad orange · 12-09-2012, 10:24 PM

in the back of my mind I hear tapps playing and can only think of what kind of life that old burb lived. For yet another great piece of engineering will be turn into a Prius

jasons · 12-09-2012, 10:30 PM

There has to be enough there for a crew cab conversion.

Body was pretty rusty.

Funny, i am pretty sure the owner called me on this rig a year or so ago when he bought it complete. He wanted quite a bit of money for every part i asked about so i passed...

midniteblues · 12-09-2012, 11:08 PM

I dont think it will ever get the kind of appreciation in its next life than it ever had in its previous 40yrs....fairwell old friend

biggestjohn · 12-09-2012, 11:14 PM

I can not even begin to tell how PROUD we are going to be of you after you save this poor soul from a horrible, excruciating death!!!

Man, I wish I could be like you!!!

Please post pictures, and prices.........

71K20chevy · 12-09-2012, 11:13 PM

It really is kinda sad when you think about it. They didn't make a HUGE number of any 67-72 trucks, and when you already consider the amount that are gone, well, this just makes it worse

68_Shortbox · 12-10-2012, 04:58 AM

What parts did you get from it? I was able to get the rear cross-member I needed and the glove box door. There was a few more parts I would've liked to get from it but I didn't have enough cash.

*bk2life* · 12-10-2012, 05:28 AM

pull the body leave it just like it is and set it on a "g-machine" chassis with big billets and cruise it all around. i see a jalopy cruiser.

skorpioskorpio · 12-10-2012, 07:51 AM

Arrr! Avast, any you scallywags take notice thar be a large chest with an "X" on it? Could be flotsom from the wreckage.

54blackhornet · 12-10-2012, 12:25 PM

You don't see those Cadillac Seville's with the bustle back end ? I guess this yard crushes anything that is metal ? oh we'll that is the time we are in ?

That really sucks...

**leddzepp** · 12-10-2012, 12:43 PM

It can be saved...don't part it out!

**RenoKeene** · 12-10-2012, 02:02 PM

Go snatch the wheels off that marroon pickup back there....

and along with Tim my hat is off for the wrecker.

The Burb still has the tailgate hardware on it, and the fender emblem, and a hood hinge....it's not dead yet!

Mr Chevorlet · 12-10-2012, 02:16 PM

Thanks for ruining my day, My wallet will at halfmask all day in remberance!

Glad you found the parts you needed. I got a few little A/C parts.

Yes, this yard crushes almost anything. They don't always crush right away and he will sell some parts to the right people.

Oh, its dead... even the hood hinges were bent. Fender emblems were tweaked...
