Keep the burb, buy the square body and slam it!

72BlckButy · 11-25-2008, 09:00 AM

Keep the Burb!

tinlid · 11-25-2008, 09:21 AM

OK, another asking for advice. What I think you should do is give ME the Burb and go buy the other for cash. Well...you asked!

my67chevytruck · 11-25-2008, 09:32 AM

Burb = mas gabachas

crew = solo

**Hart_Rod** · 11-25-2008, 11:09 AM

I like them both! Flip a coin,

71tahoe · 11-25-2008, 11:45 AM

Keep the burb, do a 4th door conversion and buy a trailer. Beats the heck out of the crew!

GOPAPA · 11-25-2008, 11:52 AM

As Longhorn man says ,,You are getting a biased opinon from all of us ,,,but if you had a 57 chevy and was trading it for a 63 chevy all would tell you to keep the 57 .
I have read more than one article that our 67-72 trucks are next 57 chevy for popularity and I think the Burbs are in the mix as well. imo papa

69ROTROD · 11-25-2008, 12:02 PM

Trucks like his are a dime a dozen at this point...and pretty cheap. It's a lot harder to find a 'burban with a decent body and powerpland. My $.02.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-25-2008, 12:10 PM

I would like the crew more if it still had the '74 clip on it, but it would still be a "no go" for me... keep the burb

duceducenine · 11-25-2008, 01:13 PM

you want to see it slammed here you go.....
i think you should post this in the square
body forum and see the response

**mr48chev** · 11-25-2008, 01:24 PM

I think because you are asking us, you just need a bit of backup in not making the trade.
I vote with keep the burb.

That square body is going to give a lot of us a bit of room for thought on building another truck though. Decent square body crew cabs are pretty reasonable around here and the short bed swap makes a good looking truck. No, No No, I don't need another truck project.

Unless you are just flat burned out on the burb keep it and make a winner out of it.

**WIDESIDE72** · 11-25-2008, 01:49 PM

Do you NEED a truck with a bed to haul stuff? That is the only thing the white truck has that your burb does not. Even then I would be hard pressed to swap a 67-72 burb for a 73+ crew.

Keep the burb, buy the crew

sleepertruck72 · 11-26-2008, 01:10 AM

I say keep the Burb without a doubt. I know a few gabachas that would ride in the burb if that helps you keep it

ETsC10 · 11-26-2008, 01:17 AM

Keep the burb...it has a factory bed cover.

I can appreciate where you are comming from but when you might see a "rough" vehicle, I see a diamond in the rough! That's a beautiful burb with lots of potential!

The first pic is of my truck when I got it, the second is two years later. I think it was well worth the time and effort and so will your burb.

But honestly, noone here is really trying to tell you what to do, but as it has been said, we are all biased. We love the lines of the 67-72's but I am sure each member loves other vehicles for one reason or another in thier own way.

Good luck with whatever choice you make, and keep us posted when you do decide!

LuckyHenriksen · 11-26-2008, 01:29 AM

Keep the burb. Neither have good paint (or good patina), so the work you put into the body would be worth more on the sub.

mfarmer · 11-26-2008, 02:11 AM

Don't do it.

thump16 · 11-26-2008, 04:04 PM

In reality, it is what you want that counts. People trade up swaps everyday. After all you are the one doing the vehicle trade not us. Plus you just asked about a few hundred or so die hard 67-72 truck enthusiasts about a square body truck.

That is kinda of like asking a vegetarian to help you choose between Tofu or a Big Mac

.
How about driving the crew cab for a day to see if it's something you really want.
I actually love both squares and burbs. No matter which one you choose they are both awesome and not everyone on your block has one.

70rs/ss · 11-26-2008, 05:29 PM

Wait a minute, I'll save you the trouble, sell me the burb and buy the crew?! I want another burb so bad!!

67-72crazy · 11-26-2008, 07:44 PM

If it was me i would keep the burd because i like 67-72 more than 73+.

chrislehr · 11-26-2008, 09:03 PM

Not at ALL shocked by the results of that poll.

Field and Son · 11-26-2008, 09:27 PM

I love crew cab pickups. They are great to haul a large load and still have room to take the family. With that said.~Keep the Burb!!
