I was hoping to find an affordable 59 burb... Based on the ad burbs I have seen done up I would totally build either. What are your thoughts.

If you want a family affair get a Burb style/year is personal Taste or opportunity.

I have a panel because I like to keep my music gear out of sight. Were it not for that, it would be a burb. I think most people and/or kids would feel a bit claustrophobic riding around in the back without windows.

One of the things I am considering is that not all my kids will want to go all the time. But in a rare instance there would at least be room. I think that is one reason I could get away with a panel.

i lived in my panel back in my oilfield days

all my worldly possessions were in my 59 3800 lwb panel

48 GMC BURB, Trust me I thought of cutting them in. I just keep telling her that I will find a burb for her. She wants no part in that. My kids do not seem to mind not having the windows. They just play with there Ipods and Ds's anyway.

Isn't that the truth. LOL. I make them the Ipads at home most of the time, just so they will see some scenery.

Wow, Ogre...that is a pretty cool history for that panel. I am digging for the only photo I have of my '55.2 I owned in '68, even though it only showed 1/2 of the driver's front fender.

_Ogre · 04-24-2013, 12:02 PM

that pic is from 1978 when it was in it's prime

unfortunately this is it's current condition

It is a 1954 gmc with clamshell thus the one piece windshield. The 1958 they want a whopping $4500 and for the 54 they want $2500 because it isn't complete. The 58 has more rot believe it or not. The 54 has. Dents that appear to be removable.

Outside of being severely sunburned that 54 looks pretty decent if it isn't all rusted out in the floor.

Thanks for clearing that up, i had just not seen a suburban with one piece front glass... throw some fenders and hood on it and could be pretty cool.

beanyard · 04-26-2013, 12:33 AM

It would be fun.

How much does Ted want for his? I can't imagine that he would want even close to that much for it.

beanyard · 04-28-2013, 12:41 AM

I want to go visit him & make an offer.

That is the one my wife picked. I will be headed to get it. The man named Ted is a different guy who has two ad burbs that are rusty and I will probably buy one of those for parts.
