Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only

Wayne,

Truck looks great with the new wheels. It just needs a little altitude adjustment, in my opinion. How do you like driving the truck with those mirrors? I was on the fence about purchasing a set and went with the stock mirrors instead. I thought the mirrors on your truck wouldn't give much visibility.

Thank you and I agree on the altitude adjustment, Nick. I've been researching my options with another couple inches of drop.

The mirrors were on the truck when I purchased it. Visibility is very good on the driver's side, I can't see the passenger side mirror at all - it's only there for visual balance. With the expanse of glass in the Suburban, I don't have any issues with visibility when driving, day or night.

Thanks! I can't say enough how happy I am with the way it turned out. I have been driving it everyday since I put the new wheels/tires on

Looks like a nice start. Did it spend it's whole life in Arizona? Nice truck to start with.

Yes it was up in Winslow AZ it has very little rot needs both front outer rockers and lower outer rear 1/4s. Everything else rock solid. I was up there looking at a 67 lwb and this was sitting on the other side of the street so I went over there and asked if it was for sale the owner said sure. It will be fun. Thanx

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only

I bought this 1971 C20 in Portland Oregon in 2015. It was a BB Burb with auto trans and buckets /console, tilt, tach and the rear tailgate door. After pondering for a year and some whether to redo it and install A/C I decided to sell it. The sideways pic is in front of Classic Heartbeat in Olympia Washington as I stopped there and bought some parts on the way home.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only

Here is my first Suburban. 1969 C20. It has a factory tach, PB, PS, rear heater, and rear air
I bought it without the engine and trans. So, I dropped in a 5.3/4l60e. I still have a ways to go. Hopefully it will be done by summer!

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only

Love your rear A/C! That's on my shopping list for the swap meet in April. Its a shame you can't buy a nice metal fan like that any more.
P.S. The rest of the Burban is great too!
