Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.

Anybody need a left testicle? I'd so like a 'Burb but I just can't find one over here apart from modern ones. Can't afford to import one at the moment either. Can't fit the family in my truck now.

Killer score on the burb.Nice changes so far too! Looks like you're having a good time figuring out what you want and keeping the family involved and excited about it is just icing on the cake!

You must be down south somewhere as I've not seen any up here at any of the more northern shows. The white one sounds like it has a fairly healthy engine in it. TBH I've not seen that many 67-72's as most of the trucks over here seem to either be older or much newer. How about posting some pictures of your burb?

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.

WOW! I don't know how I missed this build? Wow! Great ride for a great price! I drove to Cali this past summer and saw probably 30 67-72 trucks and burbs out in NM, AZ and CA. Daily drivers mostly with sweet sun faded patina. I like the way the sheetmetal survives out there. I hope to go back dragging a trailer some time. Keep the pics coming! Hope the knee heals quick.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.

Hi Phil, I'm near Stratford on Avon, I haven't taken any pics of the burb lately mainly because of the weather and I'm very busy at work , there are some pics of it on
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=68579&page=19
and
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=68579&page=22

it's a 69 C20 with 4 speed manual and a 350 engine, I was using it daily until the weather got bad so i'm using a £100 banger until it gets a bit better, the 55 rambler in the background is mine too, it's getting the mild custom treatment and a small block ,wide whites etc
My burb is going to get lower in the near future, I've got a replacment top tailgate on it's way from America too, then i'm going to get rid of the vinyl roof and paint the the top, then it'll be the tow truck for my dragster
Oh a friend of mine has got a 1970 C10 panel van for around £2k it needs some welding , it's a 350 with 3 on the tree, give me a call on 01789 450001 at work and i'll give you his number if you're interested
