How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks - Page 52 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TheSleeper · 03-18-2010, 10:44 PM

lot of work to do there, but man you dont see those very often, would be a super head turner when done.

shrunken66stroker · 03-19-2010, 01:06 AM

I would take that project on. I love the 63 burbs.

63burb · 03-19-2010, 01:11 AM

The Sleeper,

Yeah I know but the good thing is that there's little or no rust on there its always been under a roof and when i got it i parked it in my small garaged in mexico. I'm planning on bring in it back to the states but it suck when you are young and have a girlfriend..

.....that's were all my time and money goes...

63burb · 03-19-2010, 01:14 AM

Keep it in the family. Get that thing up here and build it. I would love to see another 63 burb build. Prioritize.

I'd Like to see a 63 Suburban build, Can I help with some information? Pictures?

In the long run you will get more for your investment from the truck than the girlfriend. You got to get your priorities right.

Doc_G · 03-19-2010, 10:06 AM

Here's Lucille the day I picked her up. I am the third owner, I got it from the grandson of the original owner. I only paid 400.00 for her and couldn't be happier. I don't know what all I will end up doing to her, but I am steadilly making her into a DD. My current thoughts are "Resto-Mod" but who knows, I may go all out like some I have seen on here.

She runs like a champ, and the day I bought her I brought a fresh battery and some starter fluid along with the usual inspection tools. Even with out the starter fluid she started right up w/the barest bump of the key, and still does. I've got to do something about the steering, as it's got to be the hardest manual steering vehicle I've ever seen. Does like it should when in reverse... but in forward man... you gotta really work the old steering wheel. I've changed the rear brakes, and will be doing the front and getting the steering sorted out hopefully this weekend barring rain. Some of you guys have given me alot to think about with your posted pics. There are some beauties posted here.

Yeah I saw your from Wetumpka, and I was like "Hey he's fairly close" which in Texan could be a 4 hour drive one way, My company delivers to the Lowes in Wetumpka nearly every week so I'm a bit familiar w/the general area.

Thanks for the welcome btw.

djracer · 03-20-2010, 12:46 AM

I'm only 5 or 6 miles from Lowes

63burb · 03-20-2010, 03:39 AM

Thanks old timers for the guidance and advice, and i mean that with respect. So what you guys are saying is that i should kick her to the curb and focus on the burb???

hahaha I'm just joking i know what you guys meant so i'm gonna start gathering parts and get the show on the road.... soon i hope. aerotruck63 yes you can help me with what ever pic. and info you got i will really appreciate it.shrunken66stroker okay i got it "PRIORITIZE"

70k52wd · 03-20-2010, 10:03 AM

Nice project...Don't kick your girl to the curb. Get her a job, take her pay check, and have a bad a** burb that much sooner.

63burb · 03-20-2010, 02:20 PM

I like the way you think 70k52wd she already has a job. I'm gonna start to make my Christmas wish list and just give it to her a little early, I think that's a better than taking her money.

70k52wd · 03-20-2010, 04:01 PM

Perfect 63burb...The key to a great relationship with your girl is to have them involved in your hobby. And if she contributes financially to the effort, she will have the same feeling of accomplishment(and ownership)as you will. Makes her not feel left out also. And she can't gripe about spending money on HER project.

But then she might take it from you. NOT GOOD!

rebel714x4 · 03-20-2010, 06:33 PM

here is my 64 as of today shorts yesterday. snow plows 2day i love missouri

63burb · 03-21-2010, 03:28 AM

yes you are right djracer she probably would and we can't have that. About her being involved with the project is a very good idea i know that she would love to help me and that's what i like about her she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, like this one time i was changing my brakes on my 99 tahoe and she ask me if she could help and i told her what to do and she change all my brakes and all i did was

**aerotruk63** · 03-21-2010, 08:21 AM

Put a ring on her finger, that'll stop that!

scotts62 · 03-21-2010, 12:21 PM

exactly!!!

ravens65 · 03-21-2010, 06:31 PM

Thats not the only thing she will stop doing if you put a ring on her finger!

**aerotruk63** · 03-21-2010, 07:36 PM

Oh my God what have I started!!!!

63burb · 03-21-2010, 08:39 PM

Yeah thanks aerotruk63 it's not a truck forum any more is a wife/what happen when you get married forum.
