We should talk. how far is Sayville from me? Do you like projects cause my Blazer is a project.

But in all reality, my fiance would kill me because trading trucks doesn't help pay for a wedding...

Panel looks nice though. Get it out and give it some love

**lolife99** · 01-28-2011, 05:17 PM

maybe spring time at this rate.car trailer behind garage doors,snow every 3 days,i'm done with this snow already!

scotto0609 · 01-30-2011, 10:08 PM

Would make a niiiiicccceeee beach buggy for someone!

capev86 · 01-31-2011, 03:05 AM

hey....my 72 burb has to sit outside in the snow with a tarp over it. i don't even have a @$#%&! garage (yet). at least you have a dry, secure place to keep that beautiful panel truck. build a bigger garage i tell ya!!!

only garage i have is an 8x8 shed....you want packaged.....2 motorcycles, work bench, stand up tool box, hitch mount motorcycle carrier, crates of old tools, newly acquired 66-69 saginaw-borg warner o/d trans, etc. i can get my 350 in and out during the summer but it took 2 people to get that silverwing wedged in there (not on the road yet....to busy with other stuff). i have to crawl over the 350 to reach anything in the back of the shed. and the silverwing has color matching "interstate" saddlebags now too.

i do have plans to build a big steel garage/shop when some other bills are paid and i get a raise. need room to park several cars, 23 foot vintage camper, put in a car lift and have a big rec room above. thinking a 30x60 to 40x80 would be a good size.

Well time to bring this up again. I have since extended on the garage by adding six more feet on the back. My brother banged it out in 7 hrs for me. I followed with tearing out the old walls on the back and leaving the supporting brick column. Made a big improvement since i can now see the grill on the panel again!. Now with my latest purchase, 1970 blazer, it is once again packed, man i need to organize again!!!!.

capev86 · 05-21-2011, 05:57 PM

a factory fresh Panel Truck and now a Blazer too?!!

I am soooooooo jealous!!!!

**Already Gone** · 05-21-2011, 08:21 PM

I see 3 pedals in your panel. Is there a stock factory V8 under the hood? I love the sound of a three with a V8 on our trucks.

Dunenutt · 05-21-2011, 08:28 PM

I could have saved you some money and took that high life off of your hands, It was takin up alot of space.

No V8, 292 six

BlackTopMotors · 05-21-2011, 09:45 PM

Nice panel! I get it. I've used the covered hood, bed...of one project as makeshift tables...when working on the other and vice versa. Pics would be nice when you are able, very cool!

salvo · 05-22-2011, 02:35 AM

Man that is nice, cant wait to see it out in the sun!

Grimpala · 05-22-2011, 12:45 PM

Just a quick question. Can the floor of a burb be made flat like the panel? I'd like to get rid of my spare tire well.

68panelman · 05-22-2011, 05:41 PM

I'm pretty sure you can. Some angle iron and a small piece wood,or change out the entire floor.
