Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

Fuel filler is on the opposite side too. Not sure what I am going to do about that. Might just hack up a 81-91 burb filler door setup.

Just spin the fuel tank around. I did the opposite of you kind of. I put the square body tank in my 69 frame and I just pointed the neck on the tank to the drivers side, so it should work spun around in the square body frame.

I had thought of that but I never liked the external fuel fill, and for 4x4 purposes, I am worried I might rip it off in the rocks/trees.

Either way, you should be able to turn the tank around and put the filler on the LH side

Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

Man this project is moving much slower than I want. Time and $$$ seem to keep going to other things. Life. And a few other broken trucks.

I kinda got to put the body mounts on hold. I got a few other things to consider before I mount it.

I started bolting up a few doors and converting the clamshell setup to barndoors. The doors are pretty beat up, but it's what I got for now.
There is a set for sale on here that even have the correct trim to match. Not the right color, but I lack the trim on my beat up set.

I also need to find front doors, maybe with the odd trim too.

Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

The doors and hardware came off a burb that had already converted from tailgate to barn door. I am not sure if the hardware like the strickers and stoppers are in the correct spots. I also got this piece of wood as a spacer attached to one door.
Does anyone got pics of the original stuff?

Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

I got the doors on and somewhat adjusted. They are pretty dented/bent up. The bottom has some rot coming through. I still have the strikers,stoppers, and limit brackets to mount.


If I could find a decent price on some rear glass seals I could almost have it sealed up for the winter.
