My first 67-72! (68 Burb)

Great find on your burb! That's pretty good for an up north old truck I'm guessing! Rust wise I mean.

Yes, not bad for our nasty winters. Probably would have had a perfect floor if it weren't for the shag carpet trapping in the moisture.

I have some shaved fenders if you need some

I'll keep that in mind if I can't find any locally. Thanks!

I also might have some decent fenders in storage, I'll go have a look this week.

That would be sweet

67 enders are the same as 68 minus the marker light hole but 69-72 CHEVY fenders are different. 68-72 GMC fenders are all the same. the difference is in the leading edge of the fender. Chevys didn't get the trim, so no holes. GMCs had a piece of trim there so they did. there my be other differences as well. I am sure others will chime in if there is, but I know those. nice save BTW

So basically don't put GMC fenders on a Chevy unless you want to fill a bunch of holes.

Up here decent original fenders are so hard to find, I don't worry about trim holes. I just worry about rust holes.

Have you heard anything good or bad about fenders from Crosscanada parts here in Edmonton? They have 67 fenders in stock for $230/side, about the same price as AMP Panels. My first choice would be to get some good used ones though..

I have some fenders that I bought off of Rory before he shut down. But I have not had the opportunity to test them. I believe they are from counterpart.

Are these the ones you were going to sell me?

[YBNORML]

No, I think I might have some decent originals in storage. But with the cold I haven't been able to check.

Ok np, I am interested in them, but I'm not in a rush to work in this weather either..

[Mr Pops]

Made some room in my ghetto garage today and squeezed the Burb in next to the Blazer. I'm leaning towards yarding the Targetmaster 305 in favor of a 1971 350 I have kickin around.

[Mr Pops]

I also dug out the 68 rad support I've been storing since before I even had a truck for it.. Looks like it might clean up nice, might need a new battery tray.

[YBNORML]

I finally had a chance to have a look at my storage space. Sorry dude, I got nothing.

[Mr Pops]

Ok, thx for checking.

[Mr Pops]

Pulled out the 305 today, I'll probably sell it.

[Mr Pops]

I started prepping my 1971 350, dropped the pan and the internals look nice and clean.. OH and it's a 4 bolt main Not bad for a free motor!

[YBNORML]

Anything new to report?

Still prepping the motor to reinstall. I think I might throw an Edelbrock intake on it while the distributor is out. I gotta get a puller to remove the balancer so I can do the timing chain too and paint the cover.
I bought some high heat primer today which will be followed by Chevy orange.
I'd like to use my solid smoothie valve covers from an old 283 I have. Anybody know the best way to vent the crankcase with no PCV valve/breather in the valve covers? Also need to be able to add oil.. might have to see if Edelbrock sells a 283 specific intake with the fill tube..?
My son was helping me with the dirty work with a wire wheel..

Hey thanks. Do you know if the Custom Cab was much better than a base model? More chrome maybe?

[Mr Pops]

Man, I should really stay off the Edelbrock site.. this is so cool! http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...o-barrel.shtml
