Some backround, Bought burban for $ 600 out of montana , and spend $800 to ship it to Tucson, AZ. Its in pretty good shape considering where it came from, only major rust is in lower rear panel corners.

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it laid out man.

What are the plans for the interior?

1958 burban · 12-27-2011, 11:43 PM

Interior, going with 4 bucket seats, and wood floor strips like a pickup bed.

1958 burban · 12-27-2011, 11:58 PM

Decided to scrap the 10 bolt I had for the burban today, too many issues, and go with a blazer rear end with disk. That puts the 4-link install on hold for a few days. I did manage to get some crossmembers in and holes filled and cleaned up on the frame today. Frustrating when things dont work out, how you planned.

jmedero · 12-28-2011, 01:45 AM

I hear you. I'm in my 3rd rear set up. Lol.
