I have one here in Ohio right on the PA an OH line if thats not to fare

c-1072 · 01-06-2005, 12:15 AM

are you going to chop it up or is she just resting for awile . not in a huge hurry but what do you have . complete roof , front doors ?

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 01-06-2005, 09:49 AM

Door are in good shape one has a rust hole in the bottom side and they have all the internals would like $125.00 each for them. Roof is in good shape $100.00. The roof mite still be here in the spring I was going to put the doors on ebay. It is all stored inside out of the weather. All the windows have been taken out. Just have to cut out what you need.

CrewCab huh? I have a junk sub that I am saving the same parts for a future CC project. Might put it on my 91's chassis....

c-1072 · 01-06-2005, 08:49 PM

Well dont go letting the cat out of the bag just yet . At least till i have the shell fabed up i just thought that shortening the burb roof will put me miles ahead instead of piecen one together .

Gary do you have an idea on how i can get my hands on the parts ? you know anyone in my area . We might be able to ship the doors . Any parts you need for possible trade ?

tahoe?

zenish · 01-06-2005, 09:27 PM

im sure you are aware a suburbans roof is a couple of inches taller.

c-1072 · 01-06-2005, 09:41 PM

A couple inches taller ah no can you inlighten me ? do you mean taller in arch or taller in the windshield post/sidepost area .

c-1072 · 01-06-2005, 09:48 PM

Ok now i see it just checked out a coulple of the one in az for sale . Although it is a major detail i still think grabbing a roof from a burb and modifying it will save me some time with the driprails sheet metal door frames ect.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 01-07-2005, 09:38 AM

I ship most of my bigger parts by Gray Hound that mite cost $50.00 or $60.00 to ship each door. If you get the roof to it would be cheaper to come and get them all at the same time. I need a set of tow hooks, AM/FM radio, one rear crome carpet strip for my Jimmy, BB A/C backets.

casey1972 · 01-28-2005, 12:14 AM

anyone ever thought of welding two pickup roofs together and using the cab back on the rear one to close in the crew cab idea, that way you could lose the "high hump" roof and get it to looking good? will a pickup roof match in outside dimensions??? i may try this if i get the burb i am looking at thru an insurance pool, hit in rear 1/4 and would make a great crew donor. any feedback would be welcome.

rolnlow · 01-28-2005, 07:49 AM

that what I plan on doing

qksilver · 01-31-2005, 12:15 AM

I saw a factory one in arizona that was 5000 for the complete truck. LWB, 4 doors that are not front doors but like a late model burb. Full rear doors with a vent window panel in the back of the door. Wish I had the bucks

Hey guys im not trieing to steal this thread but just came of the 67-72 sub board and seen photoshopped burbs.Ive been working on building a 71 tahoe from a 71 burb havnt got a lot done but here is what im working on,the rear doors will both be functional im using the inner structures from a 98' tahoe for the doors and the rear quarters then cutting quarters(new) from a blazer to fit the door structures.Im thinking of the truck roof skin.I will be shorting the the rear quarters behind the wheel wells.Going to use a modified burb frame.I like the idea of the rear trailing arms.plan on running 20x8s front and 20x10s onthe rear.Ilike the pro design burb but i have a daughter and the second set of doors will be easier to use.Ill try and get some pics up when i get it a little closer to looking like some thing besides a pill of parts.Ill be updating progress on my web site also sorry if i hacked this post but i dig that people can be creative and build things that werent ever made thanks for reading

c-1072 · 02-01-2005, 08:04 PM

casey1972 · 03-02-2005, 07:12 PM

71'tahoe · 03-02-2005, 08:02 PM

hey guys,
the pics will be coming as soon as i get the burb back home.Here in ohio around december we had some heavy snow and ice fall.The ice caused my addition on the back of my shop to collapse.This is where i worked on my own projects.So the burb is hiding in storage until the weather brakes.Then i can fix the shop and get cranking on the "tahoe" again with lots of tech and pics to fallow.Be patient..
