68 burb on the loose
This is my new 2wd 68 burb.I drove 8 hours to Iowa to tow this guy home.On the way back I almost blew my buddies F250 transmission up on the way home
 His ford had to spend the night at the ford dealer,Anyway,I plan on taking the body off the frame and sending it out to be rotissered .I have new PB dropped member,control arms,rack,and rear c notch,dropped trailing arms on the way from Nathan,Just to get the ball rolling.You guys are a great source of info and inspiration.   .Thanks for looking and please include all comments.Ed |

Re: 68 burb on the loose
i'd skip the c-notch and just restore and drive that clean beauty. pretty soon my stock height 72 burb is gonna go from rare to endangered species with everyone giddy to follow the californians. pretty soon "c-notch" is gonna be a cliche on this forum....

Re: 68 burb on the loose
now thats funny.
 I love the look of a custom truck.lowered or stock level.I prefer mine to to be low,not a mini trucker,just cool.I lived in SoCal and worked there for 15 years so its in my blood.C notch is for beginners,you need a step notch,when you are laying frame.LOLEd |

Re:It's go time on the burb
Hey everyone.I have been alittle busy working on the burb.Here we go.First I got new 13" cpp cross drilled brakes and powder coated calipers(sorry about the wheels,they are just for mock up)
 .Second I had a brand new ford 9" narrowed 2'' both sides,true trac installed and new axles.  Then I purchased a 6.0 engine and 4l80e out of a escalade.Installed a cts v oil pan and had the engine stripped and painted.  .Installed a new no limit 19 gallon tank with lsx pump and baffle  .Last she is a roller  .More to come soon.Ed |
