Picking up a burb tomorrow - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BB72CHEVKT · 01-13-2017, 04:14 PM

Grandpa's truck that his grand daughter inherited. It has 73k miles but rats ate a wire or wires while it was stored for the last 4 years. Is there a way to get the rear power window back up manually. The electric motor is probably shot.

you can undo the cable that goes into the motor and use a drill to spin it (just have to take the access panel off first)

Nice Find! That will look pretty nice with a bath and polish.

Nodnarb76 · 01-14-2017, 03:53 PM

Cool truck.

68Timber · 01-14-2017, 07:24 PM

Jealous. Original hubcaps and all.

McLovin · 01-16-2017, 04:58 PM

Any more pictures?

She is still wet in the pic but should buff out nicely.

Wow! Nice score! Interior looks very clean too.

Thank you. The interior cleaned up nicely. It still needs some deep cleaning but I ran out of daylight.

That is a very nice burb! It looks like the mice/rats didn't tear up the interior too bad either!

I might have been wrong about the mice. The wire melted. Just not sure why at this point.

Beautiful. Is this the usual recipe?

ultrahd4me · 01-17-2017, 02:54 PM

Yes sir it started with a 4.5/6 (pic on the trailer) but then it was changed to 6/7 drop with 35 series tires. I like the 4.5/6 with 45 tires a lot better.

No sir I don't, but it was a truck c-notch that was modified.

Thank you. That info does help.

BB72CHEVKT · 01-20-2017, 03:52 PM

I got her running. All she needed was some fresh gas!

Well I finally managed to get the rusted out bolts off the running boards and the gas tank out.

Nice burb. I dig the stock caps. I think it would be cool to drop it just they way it is. So much character in the 70s burbs
