Pics of my new burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Flint70step · 03-18-2011, 01:22 AM

I have made a deal with the owner and will soon be taking her home.I need to find a good engine and trans for it,but that should not be a big deal.Hope yall enjoy Oh ya.....Im getting it for $600!

It has Arizona radio station stickers in the cab so I think it may have came from there.The interior is very nice and original.The core support has no rot and the only place i saw rust all the way thru was just behind each rear wheel.This is going to make a nice work truck for me,and the boy will love it too

That thing is sweet! I'm jealous, I always wanted a factory blue or red 71-72 burb. Please don't tell me it also had parchment trim? Good luck with the build, I got my 72' burb out of Austin.

Good looking truck...looks familiar...

Mine's got a little more rust though.

Thanks yall,I cant wait to get it home.It has a very nice blue interior with the cloth on the seats in good condition.I thank the window tint for that!When I get it home you can bet I'll be posting more pics

1956cameo · 03-19-2011, 08:57 PM

Definately interested in more pics! That dark tinting helped big time. Sounds like it was a Custom Deluxe with the upper and lower chrome trim and cloth interior. Very nice!

BlackTopMotors · 03-19-2011, 09:05 PM

That looks to be a very good deal...looking forward to more pic/updates.

better body than mine... screaming deal.
Does it run at all? Drive?

*67/72junkie* · 03-19-2011, 10:18 PM

put a motor and trans in it and drive it like you stole it because you did.nice buy.

Flint70step · 03-20-2011, 01:02 AM

No motor or trans in it.I am trying to sell my 94 GMC Vandura 3500 and my 93 honda accord so i can go get my burb.I would like to put a 400/400 combo in it.Thanks for all the positive comments.Will put more pics up soon

I had been pondering about using the drive train from my van,but I'm not sure how to go about getting the wiring harness outta the van.The 350 in the van is tbi and the trans is an electronically controlled 4L80e.I would love to use that trans for the 4 speed overdrive and maybe some better gas mileage.Any help or info to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.Yall be good

olblue60@aol.com · 03-21-2011, 08:12 AM

Monster transmissions has a $99 elect control for the trans that is a snap to install. Worst case for the engine is to put a carb on it and you will probably need an inline fuel pump as there is no mechanical boss in your engine casting. If you could use your computer, I would try to keep it fuel injected.

Flint70step · 03-21-2011, 12:59 PM

Thanks for the info,that helps tremendously not having to get another trans and I'm going to do some more research on how to go about keeping the fuel injection.I love this site,good ppl helping others with the same goal in mind.I myself, am always willing to lend a helping hand.Thanks again, yall be good
