Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Good looking Burb and I know how you feel about wanting one for long time. How was the trip with the UHaul trailer. I'm dealing on a Burb that is 1500 miles away and was thinking of doing the same thing. What rear gears are in your Z71 and how far did you transport and how did it handle the load?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So I got everything back together, and figured I would check the gas tank before I put new gas in it. Lucky I did! Here's what I found. So now I'm looking for a new tank and sending unit...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Good thinking on dropping that tank! While you are at it, I'd replace the pump and filters.
I'd just order up a new tank and sending unit, along with a new sending unit wire. (The original will undoubtably be dry rotted, and considering the location it would be prudent). Just looking at those pictures, I can smell the varnished gasoline!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
I had a 68 c10 307 with a three on the tree and overdrive. I never did get it to work right. when i sold it the new owner pointed out that there was a fuse holder near the brake booster that was missing a fuse. it had somthing to do with the over drive.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So the best deal I've found for a gas tank is The Truck Shop. $192 + shipping for the tank, sending unit, and straps. Anybody have a better idea? Thanks for any input...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So I went today and got it put in my name and registration up to date. It was on non op and no back fees! Yes! It had been on no op since 2002 so I was a little worried...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So this last weekend we got it running and Evanz67 went crazy on the tint and peeled it all off. Thanks pal! Had a little bit of a worry cause it wouldn't go into gear. No big thing, we pulled the cover and pulled the clutch pads away from the flywheel as they were a little stuck. Runs like a dream and shifts just as good. Over drive doesn't seem to work, but haven't researched it yet.
Ok, today the boy and I got the brakes working, got the oil pressure gauge working, new air filter installed, and thanks to a really good guy, got us some hubcaps! We even drove it into town to the auto parts store! Last edited by Newtz67; 04-27-2011 at 12:46 AM. |

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So Johnny, after seeing all the work involved are you glad you stopped working on it? The owner before you must have had some old gas in that thing for a lot of years.... That gas tank was gone.
