Should I trade it? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Burb is the keeper. Need a truck, buy or build a trailer. Trailers are cheaper than trucks to register and are covered by the towing vehicles insurance!

Welcome to the board and thanks for becoming a subscriber so quickly.

CG, first of all I thank you for welcoming me to the board (first person) I am
truly a 67-72 fanatic since my dad introduce me to them (back in 82) I would
have to say I love all chevy trucks, all years and models! Now, becoming
a subscriber really means that I love this site, so all of you out there, keep
on the good work and keep the pictures coming!!!!

Keep the burb, my Friend.

The first pic is of my truck when I got it, the second is two years later. I think it was well worth the time and effort and so will your burb.

But honestly, noone here is really trying to tell you what to do, but as it has been said, we are all biased. We love the lines of the 67-72's but I am sure each member loves other vehicles for one reason or another in thier own way.

Good luck with whatever choice you make, and keep us posted when you do decide!

Wow Don, that is a really nice example of a 67-72 truck! I really understand
the passion u have invested in your truck.

Thank you, I really appreciate the complements.

I will say this, if you do get the quad-cab you will never get the complements and stares that you would get if you were to keep the burb and fix it up. I'm saying that from the number of "thumbs up" I get everytime I take her out.

Thanks sleepertruck, but I think my gabachita would have a problem with

Rafael505 · 11-27-2008, 05:40 PM

Man oh man I wouldnt even have to think about it, I say no way

*Puropedo* · 11-30-2008, 02:12 AM

Well, after all this days and all your comments (thank you) ,, I have
made up my mind......I will keep her! For some of you who probably
thought I was just being silly,,well let me tell you I was not, I was seriously
thinking about doing it. When I fist got her I knew I would have to do a lot
to get her in my specs, I started pulling a large dent on the tailgate, then
I moved to the passanger rocker panel,floor,lower kick panel,front lower
support (the usual stuff) and then stopped. I have 3 other projects including
my 68 swb wich I have invested over 14k and still need finishing. I've always
wanted a 67-72 burb, but I guess I was getting tired of it, now I've realized
(with your help) that I should keep going and make this a bad a$$ example
of our beloved 67-72's

.. I will (if time permits) make a project thread in
the future, here are some other pics that I have.

tim21391 · 11-30-2008, 02:20 AM

keep burb in my opinion...

harlyworkr · 11-30-2008, 02:21 AM

What he, and he, and he, and he, etc, said! Be the Burb

Cool deal. Keep us posted as you work on it. Before you know it, you will have one sweet looking ride on your hands.

Rob H. · 11-30-2008, 08:53 AM

I think you made the right choice, I love the burb, gee I want one too

, thanks alot now I've got another reason to make my wife mad LOL. Actually I've been mentioning getting one for a couple years, just haven't found one in my price range yet(dirt cheap), and she has strong expressed a desire for me not too. I'll probably ignore that again when I find one

.

38chevyhotrod · 11-30-2008, 02:51 PM

It would really be a shame to trade.
Here we say if two trade, then one ends up crying.
So be glad you keep it because otherwise you where the one crying.

I think you made a wise decision. The burbs are getting harder to find
and I think we will start seeing alot more square body crew cab short beds in the future as this seams to be a currant trend.
I personally would like to have both but as 4X4's.

robmrtnbb5 · 11-30-2008, 04:24 PM

sonds like you want the truck i say no trade

thirdstreettito · 11-30-2008, 06:12 PM

Keep the burb! Buy the crewcab for a DD!

so it will take sometime to post some progress on her, meanwhile I will try to post some pics of my other ride ( maybe in a new thread ) Keep up the good work!

MrBeast · 12-10-2008, 12:07 AM

Keep the burb, if you want a SWB crew cab that bad I will cut a frame down for you. That burb would be irreplaceable!

yup, you would have no problem finding another square body crew, now a 67-72 burb is a different story

i agree with them...buy the crew and a trailer to tow the sub! i've had a square body since i was 16, but once i got the chance to pick up a '69, i jumped on it. now i have the best of both worlds

Good advice, but I have too many trucks and not the room for them, I hope
I can find a bigger piece of property for all my junk now that the housing
market is dropping

old Chevy guy · 12-10-2008, 01:36 AM

I've never been a big fan of 74 and up square bodies,I would keep the suburban all day!

R.L. · 12-10-2008, 01:59 AM
