Saved A "Burb"
This 69 Burb was headed for parting out. Guy said if I pulled original BB and rebuilt it for his SWB I could have it . It just had a lot of potenitial. I have been in to camaro's for a long time. So I decided to do a budget build. I have a restored 69 camaro and Race an Outlaw true 10.5 camaro(fulton632). So another big budget build is not in my financial future. So I came across A 57 chevy truck
69 chevy truck (the power plant doner) and a 67 chevy truck all 3 for a deal I couldnt pass up , so I could get the parts for the burb. Then sell the other trucks. So far things are going as planned I have an engine trans wheels(plus parts) for the budget burb. I plan to treat what rust it has. Do the minor body work , lower it some and paint semi-gloss black/white top. Eventually work on interior and get some a/c for the Texas heat. I will attempt to post pics progress is going well. I have been reading message boards for years but dont post pics .

Re: Saved A "Burb"
For the most parts Body is in good shape. Most of the rust in in lower door jams I think from sitting outside and the missing chrome allowing water in enter door wells. Right side rocker has some rust damage. Other wise I think had just under about 100k original miles. The original BB I pulled out had STD bore, rod and main journals.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
The rough side. At this point I will treat the rust and repair it later.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Does it have Minnesota plates? How did it find its way down there? Normally it's the other way around, the TX trucks head north.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Making some progress. Still on a budget new wheel cylinders and flexible brake lines. Will upgrade to disc later. (Having some major issues uploading pictures.) Doner engine runs (does have some blowbye) trans shift ok and stopping takes some planing with drum brakes. So far the most expensive single part has been the battery at 113.00. Did find the fuel tank was beyond repair so the makeshift boat tank in floorboard will have to do for now.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
After pollishing the front bumper taking off the Minnesota plate and putting on
the TEXAS plate its starting to come around. This is a budget project with racing season going on. After selling one of the trucks I bought taking the eng/trans/radiator/wheels off the doner truck (which I still need to sell) Im only into this suburban for about $600.00 buying misc parts (brakes,battery,primer supplies etc.)

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Does anyone know if they make flat or smooth center caps for truck rallies?

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Brought the Burb home today first thing my wife says is were going to get a letter from the nieghborhood!!! I will stack them up with the rest of them.
These headers were in the back of one of the doner trucks . I had to cut the collector off and reweld tubes together then weld collector back on sealed up nicely. Moving on to body work to get it looking better to keep the wife and nieghborhood quiet! Carb came off of my street car runs smooth. Found late model internal voltage reg alternator in back of doner truck wired it up charges good. Yes that fuel line is running into floorboard to boat tank til I can get a new gas tank.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
This is the original 396 I pulled out of the suburban I rebuilt to put in the SWB truck for the guy I got the Burb from. Eng was in good shape. I honed it new rings /bearings/valve job. New cam and Intake from summit. Nothing special but a decent engine.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Welded in some small patch panels and did some minor body work before priming. Putting off replacing passenger side rocker for now.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Finally got it in some primer. Drove it about 20 miles this weekend. Moving on to some interior work and getting a new gas tank.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
New fuel tank/sender/straps $230.00. Most expensive part I have bought so far. After selling the other trucks and making some profit I am into the suburban for a couple of hundred bucks. Minus 6 months worth of weekend and after work labor. Never thought I would be willing to leave the 69 camaro in the garage to take out the ol suburban. My eleven yr old daughter loves cruzing the neighborhood in it. Now that I dont rely on the boat tank were going farther next time.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Moving on to the inside doing some prep work to get it primed. Cut another coil off front dropped it nice but has it laying on bumpers. Will have to get some drop spindles later when converting to disc.
