WTB:Passenger side Oche original paint 1972 door.It`s got to be cheap,though.It`s for a friend named Longhorn Man.

Musta been the weather.I got out and did things I`ve been lookin`at for months.Looks great.Those changes are where it counts from the driver`s seat.

Hurry up and finish that thing so I can enact the clause of sale that was in very very very fine print that says I get it back when its finished. =)

Looking good Andy. Im glad that burb is finally in a good home where its going to be well taken care of.

72 - 81 is the van tilt years... a handfull of 82's also, but very uncommon.
If it has a long shifter like the stock truck (both tilt and non tilt) then it is an early one... I think up through 74 or 75, the short shifter is from at least 76 to 81. (I've had 2 '76 van units with the short shifter)

Tim... I *HOPE* to not have to worry about the ugly door much longer. I don't think I'll make my self set deadline of july... but I have my fingers and toes crossed to have it recolored by winter.
And I agree with you one million %... mods from the drivers seat are the most apreciated.

Hmmmmm, the way I saw that fine print, was when it gets done, you'd trade me for a 2 wheel drive blazer and a short step upon the completion of this burb.
I hope to do this truck right. I've done some hokey things on all my others... but I hope this one all comes together like it has been so far.

**special-K** · 03-25-2008, 07:38 AM

Are you saying you`re painting the `Burb red?

I`ll try not to let that door keep me up tonight.I expect an update 4 or 5 months from now when you get around to doing something else.

67_C-30 · 03-25-2008, 07:57 AM

Way cool! I have the same wheel in my '69 C/10 and they seem to blend great with the interior.

Longhorn Man · 03-25-2008, 01:55 PM

wow tim... that's messed up... slightly acurate, but still messed up!

**special-K** · 03-25-2008, 02:42 PM

I`m sorry.The truth hurts,huh?I`ll be nice.

cruiserman · 03-25-2008, 05:36 PM

I like the tilt, but prefer the school bus steering wheel. Gauges look great.

cameeks · 03-25-2008, 08:11 PM

looks good

**Yukon Jack** · 03-25-2008, 11:07 PM

Nice mod Andy - I've got a van tilt sitting in my shop just awaiting some work to go into my K5. Maybe your post will motivate me to get on that project!

PanelDeland · 03-26-2008, 12:26 AM

Andy, the "goverment job" quote is what I call a mod done at work.It's just an expresion I picked up from a friend who rebuilt a Dodge Dart during work hours in the company shop.

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2008, 12:29 AM

ahhh, ok.
i shoulda said at the shop... after hrs.

IAFF2407 · 03-26-2008, 03:47 AM

looks great Andy, I've been contemplating what tilt set up to use for my Burb. Can you get a column with tilt and adapt it to our truck?

nice seat covers, I had the exact same in my 68 Fargo when I was 16. pockets were great for holding 8-tracks

I see that the rear view is back up, mine is off. I give it 9 months eh!

at least one of us is getting started. The only time I have is for going and picking up the parts. right CG

Andy,
i had to vote the 3rd choice

honestly though, it looks 100% better, nice job.

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2008, 05:18 AM

naaaa Al... the mirror isn't back up, that photo was one of the inspection photos that Mark sent me. I stuck that sucker on once or twice and said screw it. Heck, I don't even know where it is right now.

I HATE that seat cover.
