Re: Need suggestions on purchasing an old Burb and what I should be looking out for.

Nice looking Caddy and pup.

Basically everything from the doors forward are just like the truck other than the very front body mounts. They are specific to Burbs/Panels and are not repop'ed. Everything back of the doors are unique to them. Almost not repop'ed panels so look for any rust or damage body items, as you will likely need to fad or cut from another vehicle and weld in. On Burbs, the glass, sliders, window locks and seats are unique and hard to find. Same with rear doors/hatch/tailgate.

Spend the money up front and get the best condition body you can find. Mechanicals are like the trucks so that's not a big deal but anything to do with the body or interior (seats and from back of the doors) are hard to find and most stuff is not repo'ed.

Good luck.
