How many burbs does one man need? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68plus4sub · 02-25-2004, 04:01 AM

Was kind of excited about this so I thought I would share.

My '72 burb is in the body shop right now in Boise. All the doors needed work and was going to cost some $$$$. Well on the way out of Boise to pick up mine, the bodyman spots a '70 burb. The next day he returns to Idaho with my burb, tries to buy the doors off of the '70, then ends up buying it cause the guy doesn't want to part with just the doors!! He said I would come out way ahead if we bought the truck instead of fixing my current doors.

That now makes me the proud owner of 2 burbs!! Doesn't he know I'm addicted? I've already got a million plans for the second one and haven't even got the first back yet!!

Anyway, they are delivering the 2nd one tomorrow....can't wait to see it!!

My friends think I'm crazy to be so excited, so I thought I would post this to a bunch of people I know will understand!

I'll try and get some pictures going of both once they get back to me, but I always find myself doing something other than taking pictures when I'm around my cars, bike, and trucks!!!

I think everyone should have 2 or more.I have a 2wd and a 4x4.

Dan72cst · 02-25-2004, 04:01 PM

I know the excitement your talking about. My two burbs weren't enough so I had to go out and get two blazers.

bagged91 · 02-25-2004, 04:25 PM

I have a 71 & a 72. Well, the 72 is rotted beyond repair but it's a great parts truck! I wouldn't mind getting another decent one again somday so I could have 2 nice burbs!

Can't wait for pics!!
