48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

your 48' is mad cool. those seats outta the burb look crisp. I don't know what I'd choose to buy or build first, a burb or COE, its neck and neck. Luv em both. I was planning on doing up my 53' belair for the fam cruiser, I think it would be much more wise to just do a burb!!

AD.. This must be a farily common area for rust. I had one window open each side rust simular to yours. I plan to run all three rows of stock seats. Mine came with the rare (missing) 3rd seat. The main reason for this build was to get the whole family down the road. There is only 4 of us but they leaves room to invite more to ride along. They may not be as comfy as newer seats but to me I just think they fit the look so much better.

Looking good
Marc

Thanks 99 To Life - Both are cool and choosing one is tough. I see fewer 'Burbs at events.

Marc - I wanted to build this one for a family cruiser too and I took so long getting to it the Grandsons will be going along. Daughter and her husband looked it over and are insisting on the original seats as they said (like you) they are cool and just look right. Nice score on having all three rows of seats.

Wife and I assembled the body cart tonight...will be handy. Soon I hope.

The cart looks nice. I assume you bought it. If so, where did you pick it up at?
I need to buy/make something simular for mine.

Marc,

Bought the cart from Autotwirler https://www.autotwirler.us/ made in Indiana. In fact, when I picked it up they needed to weld up a couple additional pieces and they were hot off the welding fixture.

Each body mounting point is adjustable left / right, up / down, and fore / aft. Initially bought it to support the '35 Chevy body due to its wood structure and it should work well for the 'Burb.

Cool thanks for the info. It looks like a nice cart. I have one that I might see about modifying to use for the Suburban first.
