new old guy in WY with 65 Burb

[jimmillac]

Hello everybody! I've been lurking for awhile and have to say that this is a great resource and community. I recently picked up the burb and it is going to be one heck of a project. It has all of the rust in the usual places but after pecking around a little I've found that it is a little worse than I originally thought. Not sure what the plan is for this truck but first I plan to get the rust taken care and the body stabilized before I take it off of the frame. The PO did some poor body work so I'll need to address that too. No engine or trans so I guess my options are open!

looks like it will make a nice project! welcome to the forum

[jimmillac]

You have a nice looking truck and have done lots of work in a pretty short period of time! I am not able to see the pics on your blog though... might be my browser.

oh.. it is relitively new site but i thought it was working. ill check it out. what are ya thinking about doin to your burb?

[jimmillac]

Welp.... I really don't know yet. I want it to be reliable so I will probably go with a later vortec & od transmission. I will probably lower it some with spindles/springs but don't think I'll mess with bags but you know how that goes. You start with one little thing in mind and it tends to become a full blown project in itself. I will want it to be safe so upgraded brakes etc. is a must. Right now it just looks like one big overwhelming pile of rust and problems Ain't it great!

from AZ. Good choice for a project.

[jimmillac]

Thanks everybody! You are absolutley right Radohound... it was CL... I didn't pay him near what he was asking though.. WY is a little more lenient but I expect some title problems. Demmit, Papa Kent, ProTrash.... you all have some awesome rides.... I hope mine will look somewhere close to yours when I'm done. Definitely isn't my first rodeo but this girl is in pretty bad shape. But, give me my welder and I can fix anything but a broken heart! You guys are awesome and thanks. I'm amazed what you did with your rides.
