Any Pics of Burb Made into Truck ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toomanytoyz · 12-13-2007, 01:59 AM

Just Wondering if anyone has ever seen one With the Rear Top Chopped off & Made to Look Like a Very Short Crewcab, Something Similar To This?

Thanks, Rick

This one was on the board a while back:

toomanytoyz · 12-13-2007, 12:43 PM

Thanks for the Pic, Any More of IT or Any Details??

I think this Would look a Lot Better if the 3rd Door was Rounded like a Truck Door & Seems like a Lot of Rear Overhang??

Other than that it's Pretty Kool, I Have a Burb & Am Not Sure What I'm Gonna do with it Yet...........

Rick

Frizzle Fry · 12-13-2007, 02:33 PM

Here's a few I have saved. The white ones are sub conversions and the other two are Argentina crew cabs like the one in the first post.

Frizzle Fry · 12-13-2007, 02:35 PM

...and if you're gonna cut one up you know what I would suggest...

Thanks for the Pics...........

What would be Your Suggestion for Doing One? The White one above look's Pretty Good other than the Rear, Not Found of That Look..........

Rick

Frizzle Fry · 12-14-2007, 07:29 PM

Well, I meant if you're gonna cut one up you should build a tahoe... but if you do an avalanche you should definitely round that back of the roof/cab and round the upper/rear corners of the rear doors. I'd shorten the rear overhang too:

toomanytoyz · 12-14-2007, 08:09 PM

Thanks for the Shop, The Rear look's a Whole lot better that way. Mine will be Going on a Mid 70's 4x4 Frame that i've already Moved the Rear axle forward on.......

Just Not Sure at This Point if i want to leave it as a Stock Burb Body or Do Something Like this with it, I Would Really like to have a Crew cab Truck version , But That's well beyond my Capability..................

Thanks Again for the Pic, Rick

Did you need me to build one for you? I have the plans....

Hey I bought that white 67 and now my dad has it. If anyone needs more pics let me know. Its has an 87 Blazer drivetrain, suspension, brakes, dash etc.
My dad has changed the tires/wheels as well. I can tell you it gets lots of attention.
Also there is a cool conversion for sale on here that has a crew cab with a separate long bed.
Bryan

OldCreek · 12-18-2007, 10:38 AM

I'd like to see the front of the bed and how it grafts to the rear of the cab. Both at the floor and at the top of the bed sides.

No plans to do that.... just interested.

I'll see if I moved the pics to my laptop of when I bought the truck. Otherwise I can get some pics of it over xmas.

Frizzle Fry · 04-25-2008, 06:21 PM

Look how they kept the liftgate on the back of the cab. That might actually be useful. I'd drive it.
