The Burb a long time coming

...well the time has come.

I have owned her since '96, she is on the 3rd motor 4 transmission 3rd Rearend...

Was jacked up in 2000 while I drove other things that used less gas and had a/c

But in '01 when I made the decision I was gonna move on with, vehicle I chose was her.
Put a new battery and filled her with fluids and put the ol 8 lug steel wagon wheels on and she cranked right up ... needed a lil tune on the edlebrock, but when didn't it.
Drove it another 80K+...

Using the reg. info and with some help the mechanic on 1 of the 3 motors ... we figured the truck had over 480K on her.

Some of you may even remember I put her up for sale some time ago, minus the motor/tranny, because I just don't have the REAL time it takes to do it right, so it was sitting.

... but never did sell her

So after talking with the wife an her telling me she knew how much I loved the truck and all the work I had put into her over the years

We decided to give her a new life ... the way I wanted it.

And this will be her story
