I have plenty of plans for it, but first will be getting it up to speed mechanically. I know it needs brake work. It's been almost 20 years since I worked on standard brakes (not disc). Engine and tranny are supposed to be good. I'm sure it'll need new hoses and iginition wiring, probably points and condenser.

From the above posts I see it has the custom trim including the pointed piece on the door.

**Great looking 63. All trimmed out too

Hop Sing, love the handle, loved the show.

I see you live in Washington and have a Wa 63 Burb. My 63 4x4 came out of Wenatchee. A good solid truck.

Thanks 63c-10. I think it looks crappy, I hate the 2 tone paint job. I didn't realize that it was a primer, what I thought is/was brown splotches on it until Monday. Old school primer I'm told.

The original paint is lacquer and has very small cracks every where. Patina I'm told and I've read here how hot the patina thing is. Not for me. Main body is going to be Grabber Blue. Roof, either white(pretty common) or silver, maybe a lite yellow. I had a brite yellow picked out but female friend said no. I trust her color judgement, mine sucks.

SPACEDEBRIS do you have a build thread on your cummins conversion? I would like more information on this.

There are dual gas tanks under the rockers, one on each side, they fill from inside behind the front seat, they definitely need to go. Pretty much rust free, just some rust in the front fenders.
Looks like she pulled a camper, has equalizer hitch in back, had fishing rod holders all over the ceiling. She was used hard, the head was cracked, installed a re conditioned head and now it blows oil past the rings. I have a good running 292 ready to install.

I have my initial "Hi" thread. I had planned to make that my build thread but my whole project got put on hold for now.

63burban, great looking truck! How long have you had it? It's a 4x4? I couldn't quite tell looking at your pics.

[mikesacs]

Here is my 60 burb. I'm currenlty installing a 6.2 diesel. The link below is the build site.

Eventually it will be olive green and white two tone. You can see the olive green on the firewall.

Sometimes you have to more than just look at the pictures, you have to read a little. here is what he says. "My 63 4x4 from California, 292 4 speed"

The Burb is definitely a 4x4, sits pretty high. I bought it 4 years ago off Craigslist, it was in Redding CA. Can't believe everyone here missed it, it was $1000, the woman that had it claimed she had a few call but no one came to look at it. I bought it over the phone and had it shipped to WI. Out of the 6 trucks I have it is one of the cleaner ones as far as rust. The Suburban has dents everywhere but solid as a rock, I do need one tailgate support though.

Some updated pictures for those interested on my 61 Carryall. Still not done(are they ever). Started 1500ing the clear and need to do headliners. Scrambled to get it drivable by the 4th of July and i made it to my first show. I ended up with 1st place in 4x4 class even though its still under construction...what a thrill after all the work. Best part of the day was my father presenting me with the trophy. After i get it buffed I'll post more pictures with it sitting in the sun. That makes the orange really pop.

[padresag]

looks good. what wheels are those?
ron

[61burban]

Thanks. Eagle Alloy rims with 33" Wild Country tires.

[padresag]

I have 8 stud axles under mine and it is not that easy to find a clean simple wheel in a 16" 8 stud

Wow!! Love all these 4x4 Burbs that are being post here.

[61burban]

Take a look at Eagle then...not sure if it will fit yours but they offer a 16 x 10 with 8 on 6.5 that matches my rim.
