I think you have to call them, don't see them on the website

looking good!!!!

kdrodworks316 · 07-13-2008, 01:44 AM

Thanks Joe, I will give them a call. Ya, this knee slows me down a bunch. Damn lowered rig, I cant get to the ground and when I do I cant get up. Its even better when I get under it. I have the brakes all plumbed and as soon as I get some hoses for the front, it should stop. Lucky for Soba I dont have the hoses yet. Not sure what to do on the steering yet, but I have a few options. I like the cowl hood, but its just not right for this project. I am liking the visor idea more and more.

Here let me see if I can help you.... (Dinos63's Burb)

NOTE: Visor.....

joe231 · 07-13-2008, 11:39 AM

there were some repo visors on ebay awhile back, i believe, i'll look around

kdrodworks316 · 07-13-2008, 11:45 AM

I like the visor, I remember seeing the one on ebay, but he wanted like $500 or somthing for it. Hey Dino, can I have yours? LOL

joe231 · 07-13-2008, 11:48 AM

man your not keeping up with the times, dino got rid of the 'burb awhile back,

i assume the visor went with it

kdrodworks316 · 07-13-2008, 12:54 PM

look at me out of the loop, I had no idea.

joe231 · 07-13-2008, 01:29 PM

nah, you just have a life

soba_03 · 07-13-2008, 02:38 PM

Sorry, should have said that this was sold.... I hated to see it go....was a sweet burb......

Joe, see if you can find one for 60-63 with the wrap around windshield.........

joe231 · 07-13-2008, 04:22 PM

will do

kdrodworks316 · 07-13-2008, 07:53 PM

Got some brake hoses today, but need a couple of fittings to plumb them in. No biggie, all I need now is tierod ends and then adjusters to make them work. A little more rust repair to weld in and its road worthy and off to the interior shop. horah!

soba_03 · 07-13-2008, 11:21 PM

Sweet... well now you have the 62 as a doner truck for parts.... any of the steering stuff your needing on the 62? Ok anything worth saying?

kdrodworks316 · 07-13-2008, 11:32 PM

The 62 is worse than what I have.

kdrodworks316 · 07-26-2008, 01:37 PM

I got the brakes pulmbed, I should have the steering stuff this week. Its almost done! I am going to hold off on the interior and drive this baby the rest of the summer! Who wants to go cruise?

ol' dirty scored some more toys for the burban. A gauge cluster with a FACTORY TACH! woo hoo! finally! also got a decent grille and front bumper. My welder is still down, so I cant finish the rust repair. may have to cruise down to my buddys place with no door and fender to finish.

joe231 · 07-27-2008, 05:14 PM

now the anticipation will kill us both!

kdrodworks316 · 07-27-2008, 06:55 PM

Man oh man, I heard that!

kdrodworks316 · 08-01-2008, 12:26 AM

The big brown truck visited me again, and dropped off some new 2 me parts for the burb. Factory Tach! Sorry the picture sucks, but I just had to share my excitement with people who dig this stuff.(my wife could care less that I just got an original 40+year old tachometer)

suzq044 · 08-02-2008, 04:10 AM

I was bored..

Thanks for the link fleet, I have their front glass fenders and they dont fit well at all. I would hope their hoods fit better. I am not sure if I am going to do the cowl hood, but a visor for sure. Somthing like this...

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-02-2008, 05:24 PM

Well it is good to know their stuff might not fit well.
