I'm going to have to sell something. Looks like the 68 stepper when its done. Already have a pickup.

Some drop spindles . 3 inch rear drop leafs and a nice set of rims and tires would most likely be the route with the burban.

72c20customcamper · 07-28-2019, 02:47 PM

Clayed, polished and waxed. Used a flex orbital to polish and wax . Even the emblems look nos

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-28-2019, 06:30 PM

Nice looking rig.

Like stepping back in time. Don't you love the guys who take care of their stuff?!

72c20customcamper · 07-28-2019, 06:37 PM

That's still an old tire...good for holding the rims off the ground, mostly...

Lot's of opinions about tires,,,glad to see you are setting new rubber!!!

**Willowrun** · 07-28-2019, 08:54 PM

Hey Mark,
It was nice meeting you yesterday. Sorry to hear about your adventures on the way home. I’m glad to see you giving the burby some love. I had no use for it when I bought it but it was too clean to pass up. I’m glad it went to a good home, and I’m equally glad I gained that space back in my barn. Looking forward to more updates. Oh, it looks like you may be torn on keeping the mud flaps so maybe you should just rock them for a while.
Todd

72c20customcamper · 07-29-2019, 06:47 AM

I think I'm just going to put on some Chevy ones at some point.

Nice meeting you and your son

72c20customcamper · 07-30-2019, 07:47 AM

Dropped the tank yesterday . Had a full tank of gas how old I'm not sure. Tank is rusty but that is to be expected when they sit for any length of time. Was going to get it cleaned but I ordered a new spectra from1A auto delivered to my door 107$ suppose to be here Wednesday, I already got a new sending unit. So I may be able to take the burban to Carlisle Thursday afternoon.ill save the original

**68bowtie** · 08-01-2019, 10:58 PM

That’s a blast from the past. Very cool.

72c20customcamper · 08-13-2019, 08:32 PM

Couple of more that were buried in my phone early Saturday morning after most likely to many Jameson's. Guy in the red shirt is my brother in law.

Guy who misplaced his 5/16” wrench and was working on hooking up the negative cable with pliers is me. Lol

Glad the burby is treating you well! It deserved better than one of the back spots in the barn.

I'm loving the truck. Never found the 5/16" wrench. I've put a little over 1000 miles on her
