Last Burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought this 68 Burb to keep it from being parted out. I need this like I need a hole in the head.

I thought it was a 67, but it is in fact a 68.

nice

vectorit · 11-07-2012, 06:42 PM

I'd keep it, and build it!
1968 was a low production year for 4x4 Suburbans.

It's actually a really solid looking K10 burb from what the pictures show.
Can you take some photo's of the engine compartment for me?

Sure. I think it is the factory drive line.

Thanks for the pictures.
I'm curious about the seat pattern, since I am considering an all vinyl seat cover for my burb.

Can you take pictures of the seat with a tape measure on the middle section, this would be used as a guide for an upholsterer to make me a similar cover. The pleated area.

PM me if you want to just email them to me, rather than clutter up this thread.

Thanks!

I like the rear shock absorber option...lol. "speed warning indicator"??

If it has any of the rear seats, can you take some pics of them for me as well?

Mr Pops · 11-11-2012, 10:51 AM

Sweet Burb! Love the buckets!

Great looking Burb, I`d love to have it for a DD.

Tinkermc · 11-14-2012, 10:51 PM

not a bad lookin truck

ThreeQtr · 11-17-2012, 08:25 PM

Trade it to Chris for his 1970 SWB K-10 pick up, then he could have a before and after set.

(I know his is a K-20, but still.)

ThreeQtr · 11-20-2012, 07:25 AM

WOW ! You work fast, too ! But where did the buddy buckets go?
Really, just what it could look like - for inspiration

vectorit · 11-20-2012, 12:40 PM

That burb comes up for sale every year.

(I use to live in the town that this burb is in, and I have a sneaking suspicion as to who worked on it).

BTW. for those of you thinking about the fabric headliner that is being sold by vendors, take a look at the second video and you will see one in there. No offense to the owner of this burb, but that is the whole reason why I didn't put one in.

ADub · 12-14-2012, 07:34 PM

Change your mind? I noticed it on Ebay

Testing the waters. I have four burbs and I really want this one to go to a good home that will build it. I'm selling my other two after the first of the year. We are getting ready to do a minor remodel of my house and any extra cash would help out.

Glad to see I am not the only one with a soft spot for these old cars. I saw mine online. the guys was asking $1500 and ad said if he couldn't sell it he was going to surrender it to the state so they could smash it. I sent him an email and drove it home the next night for $1000. It is beat up and rusty but, like yours, seems to be pretty original.

Besides who could really turn down a running, registered, smog exempt, big block project for $1k?

I say no one that is a great deal. Mine is getting to be a space issue. I'm out of space for projects.
