SO i bought some slots from a board member.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 09-28-2016, 08:57 PM

So I met up with kevin (aka Da burb) recently and bought a set of slots from him. Spent a good amount of time cleaning them. Here is the end result. 16.5x9.75. What to do with them?
Hmmm picked up a set of tires over the weekend that will fit the rims...
Hmmm On the blazer I just picked up from sharpie??? Yes those are 8 lug axles on it.
Nah, I have a different plan. Stay tuned...

THIS!!

Come on, man up and tell us your plan!

**Grumpy old man** · 09-28-2016, 09:24 PM

I'm glad you got a good deal I bought a set of 15x10s from a member and when they showed up they are bent and curb rashed and I'll be lucky to salvage 2 of them . I should have known better !

**special-K** · 09-28-2016, 09:51 PM

If I know you, Eric, the plan is to hang them on the wall or stash them with all your other good stuff. I thought you had too much already

Should have known what better? Not to buy from that member or to see good pictures of them all before buying?

I don't have much for 3/4 ton stuff, so I gotta start somewhere. These will get used... if the stars align, the sun rises and the wind blows just right... Course they would look good on the wall too!

CG · 09-28-2016, 11:51 PM

Oh nice, I likes me some slots =)

**special-K** · 09-29-2016, 06:56 AM

I'm about to be slotless for the first time in I don't know how many years. They are already sold and now I have to haul them up to the Carlisle swap meet on this rainy soggy day with flood warnings that turned me away from setting up. Who'd a knew it would be a wash-out two years in a row? I needed the money to put toward a new set of wheels and tires or they'd be stashed for later. I already have a line on another set. Crazy, ain't it??

Eric, you are now officially an 8-lugger guy... even if all you have are those wheels

Tim is right, welcome to the club!

**too much stuff** · 10-15-2016, 07:43 PM

Getting a little closer. Looks like I need to clean a little olive drab paint off the tire...

El Dorado Jim · 10-15-2016, 08:01 PM

I have 8.25 x 16.5 slots on my 72, but I can't find 33" tires for them anymore, I have a 2 1/2" lift on my truck, but don't think that will clear 35's that is all I can find, so will probably be going with a newer style aluminum wheel in 16" sucks to not be able to run my old slot wheels, I have always loved the look of them...

**too much stuff** · 11-10-2016, 09:36 PM

The plan is coming together... Green one went away and the white one came home tonight.

k29349 · 11-10-2016, 10:10 PM

I put Everbrite on mine after getting them polished up and they still look good 3 years later.

CG · 11-10-2016, 10:50 PM

There are a couple of K-burbs on the board with mags, they look great.

**special-K** · 11-11-2016, 08:29 AM

I can't wait to see them bolted up to that!

Me either. It all depends on our weather as to how far I will get.

It is quite a beast! I like it!

Got a few pics in the daylight. She will need some TLC and an engine. Stay tuned...

**special-K** · 11-12-2016, 07:45 PM

Does it have Custom door panels or just that passenger door? I see it's a Custom Deluxe. Very nicely optioned. That ain't no junk

**jocko** · 11-12-2016, 08:09 PM

that looks like a custom deluxe door panel to me Tim - I see the chrome and scroll work.

It has the 4 deluxe panels with the trim. I do have a set of woodgrain inserts for a burb... Wonder what model those would have been on? I also have a nice set of nuts now thanks to tim!

C'mon people... lug nuts for the slots.

Correct.

**special-K** · 11-13-2016, 09:21 AM

Yeah, now I can see looking harder at it. Now I can see the scroll. You can put the trim on basic panels. That thing must have an 8" lift. I see the No-Spin sticker. Nicely optioned Suburban

**GR8-68** · 11-13-2016, 09:29 AM

Very nice burb, I love it

Deer_hunter_088 · 11-13-2016, 09:29 AM

Wait where the custom delux panels made of plastiv or vinl and nice burb

57taskforce · 11-13-2016, 10:07 AM

All 72's came with plastic. Custom deluxe and Cheyenne/super had scrolls and chrome trim on the upper part of the panel. For Cheyenne and super the scrolls are covered by the wood grain insert.

**Joesjunk** · 11-13-2016, 10:26 AM

I had a 72 K/20 burb a few years ago, all original ( it was bronze, you might remember it) it had Cheyenne interior in it, seat covers, carpet, and wood grain door panel inserts. It was a custom deluxe, but also had something like " custom interior " listed as an option also. It's the only one I have seen like that. I'll see if I can find the SPID pic.
