New proud owner of a rare 67 3/4 ton 4x4 Burb!!

[John Fabris]

Hey All,

I will be honest. I found this 1967 3/4 4x4 Suburban, and I knew that I would be able to get it cheap, so I thought I would get it and then turn it around on ebay and make a profit. Well, after starting out with $5000 asking price, and over a month of emails, I got the burb for $1800. Was thinking that I could get over $3000 on ebay for it. So, I go and pick it up, and drive it home. Man, the thing ran great!!!!! Start picking through the reciept and records for this thing. In the last four years, it had the following work done.
New 350 crate motor installed.
Radiator re-cored.
New brakes (cylinders, drums, shoes, hardware)
New front suspension and alignment
New exhaust with flowmasters.
New starter, alternator, carb, battery.
New rims and 31 inch tires.
And the guy took it to a truck shop everytime anything acted up.

So, now I am thinking that I need to figure out a way to keep this as the wife thinks I am going to sell this on ebay. Well, she comes home, and I let her drive it. She says it runs good, looks good, and sounds good, why don't you keep this one?

It took me all of 1/4 second to agree with her. Gotta love that!!!

And, according the to books, this burb is one of 120 1967 3/4 ton 4x4s made that year!!!!! Can you say RARE? They also made 166 1967 1/2 ton 4x4s

So this thing is mechanically sound, all I need to do is start restoring the interior, (some rust repair, new weather stripping, felts, etc...)
