Just brought home a 67 'Burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rcbildr · 06-09-2006, 03:51 AM

A few years back I picked up a 71 chevy 1/2 ton, and took it apart to work on the rust. Well, the neighbors didn't like that and complained to the city. To make a lone story short, I pulled the engine and tranny (where most of my $$$ was) and had to have it hauled away.

I can't blame them for not wanting to look at the truck, but I felt they should have at least talked with me first. Anyways, I've moved out of that neighborhood and recently towed home a replacement. These are the only pics I have right now because it was starting to rain.

I have a few projects to complete before I can put it in my shop and start working on it. Once I get the body work done, I have an 82 diesel 'burb that is going to donate the engine, transmission, front suspension, hydro-boost brakes, and whatever else I can make fit. I am also dreamin' about putting on a couple turbos to give it a little more power. Thanks!

when i first starting reading your post i was thinking...he lives in goldbar and someone was complaining about your truck?...then i saw you moved to goldbar from the bad neighbor place. cool project. i may have to drive up sometime and check out your progress. there are a few members of this board that live in the monroe sultan goldbar area.

rcbildr · 06-11-2006, 11:56 PM

Sorry for the confusion. I lived in Bellevue near BCC when I was working on my 71 chevy truck, and I moved out to Gold Bar in February. Let me know when you want to stop by, I'll make sure there's a beer in the fridge for ya...you're welcome over anytime.

It will be a month or so before I can start on the 67.....have a few projects to do first. I got the 67 off the trailer yesterday, and I will try to take some more pics monday. Thanks!

Idle junk vehicles in the driveway are one thing,an early GM truck project is another.When will the ignorant become enlightened?A complete`85 Tersel sitting idle is prolly overlooked.Asson as you leave the hood up on a`71 Sub and there goes the neighborhood.There are high-dollar equestrian communities where flys and horse poop abound.Yet,you can`t keep a horse in the average yard(or the trailer in the driveway).My dream is to build a community where every house has to have a minimum 30'x40' detached garage,a dedicated "parts/parts vehicle" area,and at least one partially dismantled vehicle visible at all times.If not,you`ll be hearing from the committee.

No,seriously!
Glad you are "free" to enjoy your hobby now.Have fun with it.

Can I be your neighbor? That's a >

rcbldr, I like the trailer, been looking for a deck over myself.
Who makes that one?

Sweet burb, love the 67's

rcbildr · 06-13-2006, 12:29 AM

I wish I could say the trailer is mine, but it belongs to a friend of mine. It was built at Paros Trailers, a few miles down the road from me in Sutlan.

vtblazer · 06-13-2006, 06:48 AM

Checked out their website...wish they were closer.

Looks like they build sweet trailers!

If your still doing the diesel in the burb (cool) check out this site.

Looks like a cool project! And I agree with Tim, some people just need to know when to quit *****in about us workin on our trucks.

When will the madness end???? We had the same problem here when the front pump seal went out on the TH400 in my truck last year. The truck sat in our driveway for about a week and only one neighbor complained about it, but that's all it takes.

Here are some more pics:

And the donor vehicle:

The 67 is going to need a lot of work, but it shouldn't be too difficult. I will have to replace the front cab supports, all 3 rockers, the kick panels, rear quarter panels, and the front right fender. That's all the rust I've found so far. Hopefully, in a month or so I will be ready to put it in the shop.

Thanks for the tip on the website. It will be a while, but I will check it out. The black and grey 'burb behind the donor vehicle is my 4x4 and it also is a diesel. I want to swap out the 700R4 for an SM-465 (have almost all of the parts needed), then fit some 15" wheels (coloradoK5.com has an article on fitting 15" wheels on a 3/4 ton truck) with 33's and then work on giving it a little more power.

I think the biggest problem I had with my old neighborhood was the location. I think my friend and I had the oldest vehicles in the area. Hopefully within a year or so I plan to add on to my shop. There is quite a bit of space between it and the back part of my property and I've been dreamin' about getting that area leveled off and at the least pour a concrete pad for my "extra" vehicles.

Thanks!
