New Member saying Hi with pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT1 Burb · 09-13-2010, 08:15 PM

Hey guys, been reading this site on and off over a year or two and figure I would join as there seems to be a good wealth of information on here. I have a couple of projects I am working on and one that is almost finished. The burb is a 66 with an LT1 in it and I get an honest and respectable 18-21 mpg on the freeway, it gets driven everywhere and has logged 5000 interstate miles in 5 years, rock chips to prove it also. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, airride suspension, lt1 with 700R4 and 308 gears. The big window longbed is a new acquirement and is fully loaded, the shortbed big window is a factory ac truck and I am rebuilding it to stock specs with every option. I figure if it looks like the black one I saw a pic of I will be happy.Definately alot of nice rides on here and I come across these trucks all the time so maybe able to help a few guys out.

Heres a couple more.

**jocko** · 09-13-2010, 08:27 PM

hey, welcome and thanks for the pics - those are some nice trucks - especially the burb, VERY nice. what's the gauge you have mounted in the left side of the dash opposite the factory tach? Just curious - looks right at home, and my left inst bay is pretty empty...

Sharp trucks

**aerotruk63** · 09-13-2010, 09:01 PM

Do you have any info on the Options and Accessories that were available for your years?
Really nice burb!

Stacked78 · 09-13-2010, 09:08 PM

welcome from west texas! and on a side note i've never been a fan of burbs at all but that is one sweet ride

LT1 Burb · 09-13-2010, 10:48 PM

Pontiac tach and vacuum gauge.

markeb01 · 09-13-2010, 10:50 PM

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful burb, and like Stacked78 I don't really even care for them. There are many excellent examples on this site, but yours is so sweet even I would enjoy owning one like it. I really like the entire dash and steering wheel also.

likaroc13 · 09-13-2010, 10:59 PM

wow, nice Burb...makes me daydream about what our '66 could look like...and if the trucks get the same attention, you'll have a really nice group of classics

**62 Longbed** · 09-13-2010, 11:43 PM

Hi There , and Welcome from another Oregonian !!!!! Very nice Burb !!! The other trucks also look to be a nice pair .... Now I know who to contact when I look for another truck or parts ... LOL

Welcome to the forum

That is a very nice Suburban, I wish mine got that kind of mpg. What vehicle are the seats from? They look like they fit well, particularily the rear/middle seats.

robtech · 09-14-2010, 01:48 AM

jesus i love burbs

Dinos63 · 09-14-2010, 02:10 AM

Welcome my friend!! And duuude what a nice sub,holly cow!!,nice work

fryer1979 · 09-14-2010, 02:25 AM

Wow dude, that is one clean Burb! If you can do that kind of work I am anxious to see how your other projects turn out.

to the site!

LT1 Burb · 09-14-2010, 09:44 AM

Thanks guys, Woog, the seats are out of a 01-06 2 door Tahoe or Yukon.They are the only ones that flip forward, the rears are third seats from a Yukon. All have integral shoulder harnesses so are safe for kids. It seats 8 comfortably with lots of leg room. The 65 long bed I just picked up for 2k and it actually has all the softray glass, even the front windshield is original with no cracks or chips. I did buy it for a parts truck for my shortwide, as it is a driver.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 09-14-2010, 11:12 AM

I see you made it over from the other place. There is alot more reading over here as you probably know by now.

**Captainfab** · 09-15-2010, 12:37 AM

Thanks for the info

I hope your able to do exactly what you want to your new trucks, and your burb is still the best looking truck I have seen in a long,long time. SEE YA
