Dbear's '71 4x4 Burb with some USA Military Diesel

[DBear]

Here you go Burb fans.....finally starting my Project build thread! This is a 1971 4x4 Burb, originally came with 350/350, but have recently implanted a 6.2L Military diesel motor and a beefed-up'd 700R4 behind it. This has and is gonna be a wild ride for me.... very challenging, but I think it will be a pretty cool daily driver.

Bought this Burb in New Mexico about 2 years ago and just started working on it this past spring. It is the Mint Green color originally, but PO had some gold-ish color paint put on it, which I not a fan of....will sand it down eventually.

I have a 67-68 GMC front clip that will be installed in very near future. I just like the 67-68 style hoods and grilles on both CHEVY and GMC's. No offense to you 69-72 fans, just my opinion.

I will also be adding an hydro-boost braking system from an '86 Burb.

Just wanted to prelude this thread and will be adding pictures, etc....in the next couple days. I have had a lot of help from the guys on here up to this point and hope that my build can be of some help to someone in the future.
