My 66 Burb aka "Parker" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ppc337 · 12-06-2012, 09:02 PM

So here's my official build thread. Plan is to use Porterbuilt Suspension, front and rear. Well, will use everything Porterbuilt makes, hood hinges, air compressor mounts, etc. Intro wheels 22" front, 24" rear. Staying with the original color scheme. Powder coat ass many parts as possible.

What a find! I can't believe the shape that thing is in not to mention all the cool, hard to find options. I'll definitely follow this along.

Jeff, dont let the plate fool you. I actually found it in Lafayette, LA. The previous owner had moved here a few months back.

Will br picking up another frame in the next week or so. Istill want to be able to drive it around while I complete the chassis work.

66swb327 · 12-07-2012, 07:21 PM

I like it. Nice options

oem4me · 12-08-2012, 02:23 AM

Aw man, No way... this truck comes back to haunt me? DANG! I missed nabbing that beauty off CL when it was for sale in Aug 2011. I called and wanted to make a deal right then over the phone, but the seller said they had an interested party that was coming to look at it later that day. I had to be polite and hope that person did not make a deal. Well, they obviously did. I'm very surprised to see it changed hands so soon, as that one is a keeper!
No lie, I wanted it bad, and the wife was on board too! Dude, you SCOOORED!
Now before you do anything, could you please do me a huge favor and snap some specific pics? I'll PM you the details so as not to derail your build thread and bore the fans.
Enjoy, you lucky @$#%&.

PS - what's with the name? See, Parker is my last name and that better not be from Parker Colorado. If it is, well, It's obvious we were meant to be together. Ha! I don't believe it.

McMurphy · 12-08-2012, 04:37 PM

Yep.... I want to do a limo style burb some day.

With any luck I will find one in as good a shape as that!

Congrats, and

to the board !!!!

ppc337 · 12-08-2012, 08:51 PM

Bomp · 12-08-2012, 09:06 PM

I may have talked to that guy, was he buying ss blazers. The one I talked to had just moved here from Colorado but he didn't mention anything about a burb.

Mad Rods · 12-11-2012, 01:04 PM

Sweet Burb..... Gonna be a killer build

Parker looks like an excellent rare Sub project. Nicely optioned as well. By chance did it still have the sheet in the glove box with the option list ?

Yes, I do have the sheet that was in the glove box, but its no longer in the glove box. The glove box was really bad. I also have a copy of the original invoice from when the suburban was first bought.

McMurphy · 12-20-2012, 11:03 PM

You know, I think I am in love with the look of that factor AC vent in your dash...
Something about that just looks too cool to me

Would you be able to post a picture of it ? Or email it to me ? Im restoring the same exact truck and would like to compare. Only difference is mine is green and white.

Grizz1963 · 12-21-2012, 04:23 PM

OK, so you have my attention.

Lovely van.
