Well we got a 69 Burb the other day (too busy to post then)

We haven't decided what we're gonna do with it yet, but it's pretty cool

I wiped the whole thing down with WD-40 & it looks cool (I'll get a pic later

69halfton · 05-24-2007, 05:00 PM

looks pretty good, very nice shape, for all original..

did the burb front fenders always say C-10? or are those junkyard replacments?

jimmydean · 05-24-2007, 05:17 PM

Wow, a burb with an I6. I would think that would be a bit underpowered, but I'm a V8 fan anyway.

ghackett1 · 05-24-2007, 05:22 PM

I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot of truck for that there little motor but its real COOL!

BB72CHEVKT · 05-24-2007, 05:51 PM

Cool burb neighbor. Look like yall have a lot of parts around there. Do you have one 6 lug rally to get rid of or know where one in the area is?

if it's a 1/2 ton, then they are correct.

This pic threw me off BIG time;

I was like, what, is that the parking lot they found it in???
had to scroll back up and look... oh, that's the roof. Cool.

@ me.
That's not too bad there, one of the trucks I'd love to get my hands on... esp with the barn doors.

Thats funny

I kinda wondered if it might throw some people off

Spray-Bomb · 05-24-2007, 08:13 PM

To all the rest, about the I-6

It's not gonna be a hotrod if we drive it, so thats no problem (plus a turbo would solve that)

I'm pretty sure that it's OG color was green, & it's been repainted blue twice

Oh almost forgot, it has a factory Posi-trac

jgrh64 · 05-24-2007, 08:25 PM

old timers used to use kerosene on old finishes to clean them up, works good on bad paint

Thanks for the tip

Wipe er down & light a match

Not

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-05-2007, 05:26 AM

looks like a good cruiser to me, leave that 6 in there and just fix it up a bit and hook up a cheerybomb to and go cruising and pick up the chicks, love the barndoors to

in other words, i would LOVE to have that burb, theres one a block away from me that i see damn near everyday that i would love to get my hands on, its got barn doors to IIRR and its a 68

Frizzle Fry · 06-05-2007, 11:58 AM

Dude, you can cancel your gym membership now cause you're gonna get a workout everytime you drive that thing

... Manual brakes and steering in a burb=no fun to park. I'm sure you'll make it right though.

Sweet find and welcome to the club.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-05-2007, 03:11 PM

Looks to be in pretty good shape - cool find.

sb69chevy · 06-05-2007, 03:15 PM

Too cool. Nice score.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-05-2007, 03:22 PM

I don't see why a 3 speed 6 popper burb would be underpowered. They have plenty of low end grunt. Power they have, speed, they lack

Looks like a cool ride.

I see you have quite the collection started?

Spray-Bomb · 07-24-2007, 10:52 PM

Well here is an update

My dad and I got it running today & took it for a little putt

Here are a couple vids... Wish I woulda had my cam-corder, but I didn't

It left about a 4 foot scratch & it I-6 with a Posi

drivethechevy · 07-24-2007, 11:05 PM

very nice
makes me wish i hadnt passed on a red 69 burb with an I6
gonna be a fun project

OhNoJoe · 07-25-2007, 08:14 AM

My Burb has a 292 and it has plenty of power if I want.... but I always say to the rice burners I'm old I'm big I'm slow and I'm in your F-ing way.
Nice project and its going to give you a work out without PS I'm putting PS on mine.

72GMCburban · 07-26-2007, 09:31 AM

ok that video post was cool!! Very Nice! It will be fun to follow your build.

2bits · 07-26-2007, 01:56 PM

There are some big misconceptions about inline 6's, it's great to see people's eyes when you pop the hood too! Glad you got it running good, can't wait to see the pics and vid when I get home! (the network here at work blocks it)
