72 burb build
 

This is my first C10 chassis build, I have done quite a few air ride builds and minitrucks so here we go...

Heres a rendering by a friend of mine and some pics of the last few days.. Got the motor out and I have her mostly "degreased" and cleaned up. Have a lot of shiny stuff on order for the motor, expect my PB dropmember within 2 weeks or so (ordered 7 days ago) got some ART control arms already, mustang 2 rack and pinion is on the way as well. the next month will be lots of work...

Yeah dude I drove it for about a week after I bought it. surprisingly everything so far is in great shape, found a tiny bit of rust where the driver fender meets the door and a tiny bit inside the doors but nothing crazy.

Another cool burb build, :metal:.

Re: 72 burb build
 

if you shave the cab lights, make me a template first!

Re: 72 burb build
 

No prob capev... Not sure if I want to shave them or maybe make a slimmed down tinted version.. Anyway

Since the engine is out I was able to CLEAN it pretty damn well, got a new intake mani on from summit and I have some shiny things on the way this weekend.

Re: 72 burb build
 

Thanks, Not 100% on the color scheme yet.. I do like that black white and gray combo though.

Re: 72 burb build

Re: 72 burb build
