Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Glad to see this is going to get completed...Still planning to sell it when done or will you keep it as the shop hauler?

Mike was too chicken to do the right thing... but I know you're not. Let's get some Lambo doors on that thing, and pronto!

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
I sure wanted to buy it and have you shorten it but it is not in the budget. Grrrr!

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Not to bad for one days work. I shortened the wheel base 9 3/4" and brought the wheel wells up the same. Next will be to mark and cut the rear of the body off then shorten the frame 19 3/4". This will give me a rear over hang 2" longer than a short bed. I think with the wheel base this will look the best.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Whoa! Tahoe! The 3rd one too! Is it gonna stay 3/4 ton? or are you gonna put it different axles?

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Looking good. My bet is that you end up keeping it . How you gonna let go of a 4 door 67-72 Tahoe unless the money is outrageous?

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Looks good from here! So you just moved the crossmember forward and cut the frame off in the back? Are you still planning to notch the frame or not?

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Proportions look perfect. That's the only way I'd have a Burb if it became a Tahoe...they look so much better IMHO. I know many love them full size and I'm sure the storage is awesome, but a bit too long to me.

Thanks guys! My wife (and I) want to check into re skinning the roof with a new flatter one off a different vehicle maybe with ribs or something. So I will get some dimensions and start roaming the parking lots Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 12-28-2008 at 07:23 PM. |

I think that sounds like a great idea. THe ribs will add strength and yet another subtle touch to set it apart.
