Doug;
Still recovering from the 11hr drive from Denton to Grants. :mm: Next yr what ever I take to the swap meet I'm going to be sure to have C C. Was good to see you n the boys out in the garage again. I was going to try to unload n git photo to day just don't have the engery. Hope to be back up n going tomorrow,if so will take photos then n post them. I'm sure that the trip to "Indy" would be a long trip for me. Still would like to try n make it just to meet everyone. Take care! ! ;);) T-P auto Tim :chevy: |

just managed to get through your build thread. You do amazing work. i had no idea about the metal meet in oblong not sure how. I will have to try and check it out. Sending prayers for your wife. That is news no one wants to hear especially twice. Also if you ever need a hand don't hesitate to give me a holler. really enjoyed reading through your thread great work so far

Driving around the small towns just North of Memphis, we were amazed at the quantity of regular cab short bed trucks running around with solid rockers and cab corners. Even beat to crap farm trucks had good rockers and corners. For those of us that live north of the St. Louis, MO - Louisville, KY line, it is startling. Like seeing a unicorn almost. Probably saw 12 trucks we wanted to take home. |

Grandson approved!
While the paint on top is toasted, underneath it looks like a 2 year old truck around here. Clean, solid, no body rust, very little surface rust on springs etc. We had to have it as it looks like the little brother to our Dually. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Seems like I've seen this one before....
Glad it worked out for you Doug.. Marc |

OK, this is about building a 48 Suburban and you probably know why my heart hasn’t been in the build. Starting to get my head back in that game (got to since I bought two more projects in last month....honey I promise this is the last one) Still looking at accessory drives and I was really liking the new Holley mid-mount. There was an article in the current edition of Street Rodder on installing in an AD truck. It fits, stays out of the inner fenders and has good clearance up front too. If you haven’t seen it, check out some details here... https://www.holley.com/products/acce...s/parts/20-185 |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
yeah it amazing how many square trucks are still running around here...I'll see from 5-20 a day....some good some bad...burb looks like a nice one....

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Burb was on FB for sale, so I messaged the seller asking if he would call me to discuss. No, he said. I don’t do phone calls. I don’t understand, I’m interested in your Burb. He responded we could handle everything through FB messenger, then sent a ton of pictures and video. He quickly answered every question, and every request for pictures. We messaged settling on a price and when to pick up. He couldn’t be there then, so he said he would leave the burb, keys and signed title out by the road. If I decided I wanted it, just hide the money in his garage somewhere and take the burb. Very trusting...or scamming? Google street view matched the pics of the burb back ground. And I verified vehicle wasn’t stolen. Turns out his Dad lives next door so I could leave the money with him. Seller explained he is better able to keep track of questions and agreements in writing through messenger. First time I’ve purchased a vehicle never speaking with or meeting the owner. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

sounds more like an introvert, some people arent cut out for human interaction. I went to lunch with a big group of guys and the guy next to me wouldnt even tell the waitress she had his pepsi while she was standing right behind him saying "come on, who had the pepsi?" although his reasoning is sound, keep it in writing, dont get stabbed! |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Doug, that was a odd transaction, burb looks great...Jim
