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

*Puropedo* · 11-24-2008, 11:56 PM

Hi ya'll Im new to the site (best site in the web) and since this is my first
post I wanted to ask what do you guys/gals think about this trade....I own
a 70 suburban (in the works) it is pretty complete, been fixing the rocker
panels etc, the sub doesn't have a lot of rot so its an easy resto. A guy
100 miles away from where I live has a 74 crew cab, he change the front clip (82) , converted it to 1/2 ton (5 lug) and shortened the frame to accept a shortbed (nice and unique), both trucks are kool so what do think? Should I?
it would be a straight trade.

My sub....and the crew

oldspowered · 11-25-2008, 12:00 AM

i would say no because the sub will be worth more in the long run ...

Richard8971 · 11-25-2008, 12:00 AM

Man I dunno... I would keep the burb...

Don

IvelDesigns · 11-25-2008, 12:07 AM

ditto. keep the burb. not only does your burb appear to be worth more, it a lot cooler too.

and you can't put a price on cool

Longhorn Man · 11-25-2008, 12:10 AM

In all reality, you're getting a biased opinion on this board.
I say keep it. No cool 67 - 72 is worth trading for a square body.

**68350** · 11-25-2008, 12:15 AM

from that pic of the burb, I say burb all the way. 73-87s are way for common and easy to find IMO.

What he said... Keep the BURB!!!

Also, it sounds like that other truck has been heavily modified... You never know what kind of problems you will run into. And besides, the Burb looks way cooler - IMHO.

P.S. Gotta admit tho, he makes a great point... keep the burb!!!

big_al_71 · 11-25-2008, 12:44 AM

Don't Trade

*chevy29267truck* · 11-25-2008, 12:54 AM

hey man, you're gonna fit right in here with that burb. you only have 3 posts and you're already a registered member.

*Shane* · 11-25-2008, 01:32 AM

You really don't want to trade it, because if you did you would NOT have posted a poll in the 67-72 section.

jsbgump · 11-25-2008, 02:07 AM

Keep the burb

HaHa, I never thought of that Shane, but honestly I am really serious about
trading it.....I honestly thought the poll would be around 50/50 by now.

Thank u guys for all ur comments!

*project 67 sub* · 11-25-2008, 02:30 AM

dont trade it, the burb is worth more, and way more awesome than that square body

If you have to ask you aren't a true 67-72 Chevy/GMC truck fan

Then again you said you have other trucks so I guess I better hold my judgment

Hey Richard here's some more pics of both, maybe one of u guys will change
your mind..If we trade Im keeping my wheels for the crew, (burb) will get its
original rallys. Also burb's got a 402 with a th400, crew's got a a 454 with th400, both run ok.

**68350** · 11-25-2008, 03:16 AM

still don't like the crew, but love the burb. there's just somethin bout a 67-72 gm truck!

1956cameo · 11-25-2008, 04:54 AM

As a fellow owner of a 67-72 burb I obviously have to say keep the burb. The square bodies are just too common and plain looking (Although I do dig a clean 73-79). If you pull up to a cruise night in youre burb I guarantee you will be getting some compliments, but if you pull up in that crew cab people are just going to wonder why someone parked their worktruck in the middle of the cruise night.
