Pics of Burb's with caddy tail lights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 05-27-2006, 03:54 PM

anybody got these. I was stuck in traffic the other day behind a cadillac deville and I was just thinking about this mod.

Just wanted to see what it would look like on a burb

swissfacade · 05-27-2006, 06:06 PM

Here are some pictures of burbs with cadillac taillights, the first picture is of 88-93 taillights and the second is of 94-96 taillights on a newer burb, the second type are the ones going on my 69 burb. I am also adding a link to ebay of some 88-93 taillight with the wiring harness at a great price.

That's a cool look. Do the housings have a flat or curved mounting surface?

Frizzle Fry · 05-27-2006, 10:40 PM

I like these. Not sure what they're from though. Just noticed the split gate. I'll have to post this pic in the tailgate/barn-door thread too...

5150 · 05-28-2006, 10:21 PM

I like the first pic better then the second. I think this is a real nice mod to do to these trucks and burbs.

cornutz · 05-28-2006, 10:47 PM

WOW! What are those tails out of in the burb posted by fizzle???

That is the sweetest I have seen yet!

1LoC10 · 05-28-2006, 11:09 PM

those where custom made, billet bezels and custom cut lenses.. it was in StreetTrucks a few years ago

cornutz · 05-28-2006, 11:17 PM

That sucks!!! I would def buy a pair of those!!! They look awesome, I dont particularly like the thin caddie lights in the burbs/trucks, too thin!!!

Oh well, that is one sick lookin burb there! Wish I had a copy of that mag it was in....

1LoC10 · 05-28-2006, 11:26 PM

The Feetwood's had some pretty wide tails.. they are not as skinny as the Deville's

Rokcrln · 06-03-2006, 01:15 AM

I have got to say the one thing I do not like about these burbs is the rear end. I am planning a 4dr Tahoe for one of my future projects and I am thinking of grafting the rear of truck fleet side bed to the burb. It would look like the rear of a blazer with the blazer/truck gate as well. Any thoughts or pics?

I was just thinking the same thing. The fleetside lights would look so much better than the Suburban tails

The fleet lense will fit on a burb. You just need the fleet bucket or remove the upper mounting tab on the burb bucket. But I assume you are in reference to the fleet tail and backup light combo which would be different than the burb.

Rokcrln · 06-03-2006, 11:36 AM

Speaking for my self what I plan on doing is cutting off the entire rear of the burb and grafting on the rear of a SWB from center of the wheel opening back. This will give teh corect (in my opinion) length for a 4dr Tahoe and give the rear look I want when done. The fleet side rears have diferent corner design as well as the truck tail gate. I will keep the Burb lift gate but widen the opening to more match a Blazer gate width.

i agree. i can't wait to see that. i've thought that the pickup/blazer rear would look better than the burb's, but haven't seen it done. yet.

I will be working on that shortly, except I'm going to use the burb tailgate and liftgate.

I had the same thought. But the Burb rear has grown on me. Maybe first insticts know best... I want to see it!

Working on what? Making it a shorty? I thought I was the only one with serious plans to do it!

No, I'm not doing the Tahoe, but I am going to change the look of the back of my Suburban. I have a set of truck bed ends that I'm going to make work some way or another. I like the look of the truck rear better than the suburban rear. Hopefully, I will be able to make it look the way I'm seeing it in my head.

Long Roof · 06-04-2006, 11:07 AM

I'm hungry to see all these mods. Make sure to post pics on the progress.

That is really cool! Im not a fan of barn doors but the split looks awesome! I might do that to mine.

Musclerodz · 07-30-2006, 12:14 AM

There is a company that will be releasing a bunch of billet exterior parts for 67-72 trucks at SEMA. I will post more info as soon as I have it. I know there will be billet taillights, marker lights, and some custom interior parts.

Mike

5150 · 07-30-2006, 12:53 PM

Thanks, I know I would appreciate it

5150 · 03-13-2011, 12:16 PM

I'm bringing this one back from the dead because I know there has to be some more since then.

The burb I'm looking at buying this week has everything shaved on the rear, but doesn't have a tail light set up yet.

suville · 03-13-2011, 02:31 PM

78 Cad taillights fit the overall body style of the 67-72 burbs better than the later thinner ones plus they dont extend beyond the confines of the body lines and they have a BU light in them. I havent got a pic of one sorry, if I can locate one I'll try to post it

lowrollin70gmc · 03-13-2011, 06:48 PM

I'll throw mine up there since it currently has caddy lights, but I hate them on a 4WD. It would look okay if it was slammed and fit the theme. I'm going back with a modified stock look when I take these out.
