Project: ____________________________

[Devillusion]

Well............no other way to say this but to tear off the band aid with one quick swipe.

This build can be added to my gracious list of unfinished/sold projects.


In my defence, with all the projects I wanted to complete there just wasn't enough time in the days anymore, and funds just can't support this many projects so something had to give. And in some ways unfortunately the crew cab had enough interest from some people it made sense to part it all out. Though there is some good news with this decision as well believe it or not.

The thing is, I didn't wan to sell my 68 suburban, or my 68 short box.....so I figured the best avenue at this point was to combine the cummins build with my 68 Suburban. I kept all the driveline and goodies from the crew cab and sold off darn near every single other piece of it here and there in a matter of a couple of weeks. Believe it or not I didn't lose any cash investment when all was said and done, in fact I came out ahead quite well. Not going to get my time back but some is salvaged in the burb build.

I have built square bodies for so darn long it the old "doing things over and over again expecting different result" is definition of insanity. I have owned/parted/built well over 50+ square body trucks. It was time for a change of pace and this was my chance to do so after finding my burb before there was not going to be a financial way out without losing cash invested.

That being said it all went to good homes and very minimal waste.


And as for the burb "the mullet" it has already been gutted of it's natural 2wd status, converted to tons, and sitting on 285s as we speak all in a matter of a couple days.

I will understand the disapointment...but it was a decision I had to mull over and make. The final decision for me involved the fact that there has been quite a few CC diesel swap trucks around and this definitely played a part in the decision. Around here locally I know of one 68 burb worth looking at and it is a more a less stock 2wd....so this burb build will at least stand out in the crowd locally and makes more sense to haul the family, dog and boat back and forth to the lake.

...anyway, is what it is. Thanks for the support and input in the project. Lots will be carried over to the new platform, yet taking a whole different direction on it in comparison.
