burbs in black? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 12-26-2007, 10:29 AM

I've decided that my burb will not be yellow upon repaint... And I am thinking of going black.
I don't know if I want the roof to be black, or white.
Upper trim, or none.
Anyone got pics of black burbs?

Faster57 did his Suburban in all black. It looks awsome! It takes a brave body man to pull off the all black Suburban. Thats a lot of sheet metal to make flawless!!!!!!

I love black... as long as somebody else keeps it clean for me. And you need awesome A/C

CG · 12-26-2007, 07:25 PM

*Sigh* Someday I hope to post pictures of my all black panel.

The one with the orange blazer behind it is actually a dark blue.... The shadows make it look black... How do I know..... Its mine..

It was orginally light blue, but was repainted to be dark blue. It looks nice.

Also it does not sit like that anymore.... The driver's side coil spring has snapped and now it looks like the front is lowered. I am waiting on some springs from a board member here to get her back up. I still drive it but am very cautious on bumps as it rubs.

I am sure I will be starting a thread here pretty soon on the easiest way to swap out the old springs for new ones, as I have never done that. It looks simple, but looks can be deceptive.

Love the black with big billets sharp looking for sure. Not to hijack but I would love to see a few pics of these sub that were 4x4 and lifted. Someday I want one of these to pull the boat to the lake haven't decided to look for a 2wd slammed or 4wd lifted. Black really looks sharp though nice rides guys.

Longhorn Man · 12-27-2007, 08:22 AM

very sharp... anyone have any more?
Any factory ones in black? (white tops maybe?)

**Palf70Step** · 12-27-2007, 08:55 AM

I think the first one is really dark blue, but it may still give you an idea Andy
Not sure who the second one belongs too, but I liked it.
The third one is Doc70Sub's

Last one is a Longhorn version of the burb

NEVERENOUGH · 12-28-2007, 03:52 PM

Man tough choice I really like the lifted ones also. To lift or lower oh heck just buy 2.

RunninLo · 12-28-2007, 07:38 PM

Josh

Frizzle Fry · 12-28-2007, 08:13 PM

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2008, 01:34 AM

Bishops Trucks · 01-19-2008, 02:02 AM

That looks sweet Jim!!!!

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2008, 03:02 AM

Jim., that is EXACTLY what i was looking for, a 68 nose would make it PERFECT.
Do you happen to have that in a bigger photo you can e-mail me, or is that the only one?

Bishops Trucks · 01-19-2008, 03:22 AM
