Should I trade it? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In reality, it is what you want that counts. People trade up swaps everyday. After all you are the one doing the vehicle trade not us. Plus you just asked about a few hundred or so die hard 67-72 truck enthusiasts about a square body truck.

That is kinda of like asking a vegetarian to help you choose between Tofu or a Big Mac

.
How about driving the crew cab for a day to see if it's something you really want.
I actually love both squares and burbs. No matter which one you choose they are both awesome and not everyone on your block has one.

Wait a minute, I'll save you the trouble, sell me the burb and buy the crew?! I want another burb so bad!!

67-72crazy · 11-26-2008, 07:44 PM

If it was me i would keep the burd because i like 67-72 more than 73+.

chrislehr · 11-26-2008, 09:03 PM

Not at ALL shocked by the results of that poll.

Field and Son · 11-26-2008, 09:27 PM

I love crew cab pickups. They are great to haul a large load and still have room to take the family. With that said.~Keep the Burb!!

justcuz · 11-27-2008, 12:31 AM

The Burb is the keeper. Need a truck, buy or build a trailer. Trailers are cheaper than trucks to register and are covered by the towing vehicles insurance!

Man oh man I wouldnt even have to think about it, I say no way

Well, after all this days and all your comments (thank you) ,, I have
made up my mind......I will keep her! For some of you who probably
thought I was just being silly,,well let me tell you I was not, I was seriously
thinking about doing it. When I fist got her I knew I would have to do a lot
to get her in my specs, I started pulling a large dent on the tailgate, then
I moved to the passanger rocker panel,floor,lower kick panel,front lower
support (the usual stuff) and then stopped. I have 3 other projects including
my 68 swb wich I have invested over 14k and still need finishing. I've always
wanted a 67-72 burb, but I guess I was getting tired of it, now I've realized
(with your help) that I should keep going and make this a bad a$$ example
of our beloved 67-72's

.. I will (if time permits) make a project thread in
the future, here are some other pics that I have.

I think you made a wise decision. The burbs are getting harder to find
and I think we will start seeing alot more square body crew cab short beds in the future as this seams to be a currant trend.
I personally would like to have both but as 4X4's.

tim21391 · 11-30-2008, 02:20 AM

keep burb in my opinion...

harlyworkr · 11-30-2008, 02:21 AM

What he, and he, and he, and he, etc, said! Be the Burb

Rob H. · 11-30-2008, 08:53 AM

I think you made the right choice, I love the burb, gee I want one too

, thanks alot now I've got another reason to make my wife mad LOL. Actually I've been mentioning getting one for a couple years, just haven't found one in my price range yet(dirt cheap), and she has strong expressed a desire for me not too. I'll probably ignore that again when I find one

.

thirdstreettito · 11-30-2008, 06:12 PM

Keep the burb! Buy the crewcab for a DD!

MrBeast · 12-10-2008, 12:07 AM

Keep the burb, if you want a SWB crew cab that bad I will cut a frame down for you. That burb would be irreplaceable!

old Chevy guy · 12-10-2008, 01:36 AM

I've never been a big fan of 74 and up square bodies,I would keep the suburban all day!

R.L. · 12-10-2008, 01:59 AM
