I have it for sale on pirate 4x4
I sold off my other projects and parts
buying a 20' trailer late may need the $
lookin at a few 68-72 nova projects
got the street/track bug again

72 CustomCamper · 05-09-2008, 06:33 AM

How about bringing the burb when it's finished? I had my blazer in it this month. The cruise in is once a month so you have some time to get it fixed...

Chuck

87 dually burb · 05-09-2008, 04:49 PM

give me some info on the cruise in
thanks I dont know about finished but
I'll drive it when I finish the brakes next week

72 CustomCamper · 05-09-2008, 08:44 PM

It's the first Saturday of every month at A-1 Speed and Custom near the corner of Butler Rd and Chatham Heights Rd. It starts at 5pm. and runs until ?

Chuck

87 dually burb · 05-09-2008, 08:47 PM

before june
I'll be there

72 CustomCamper · 05-09-2008, 08:51 PM

Chuck

87 dually burb · 05-11-2008, 10:20 PM

what to do??
stylintrucks has the djm 5"/5" drop kit for
$356 now
may skip body work and drop it this month

87 dually burb · 07-05-2008, 01:10 AM

flipped the rear got about 8"s from it

got approval too
rub the dually fenders but I can trim for that going to add 2" blocks to get my dropped height
will run helper bags for ride height

pulling front springs out to measure some thing going 3" spidle with bags in front truck may sit for few weeks before I get back to it

got free 93 yota 2wd to drive so I can bag the burb now
any thoughts or comment on best front setup??
spindles = djm
bags = ??
just going to run a basic air line for now I have 2 40 lb co2 tanks for air
so have to work that in later

87 dually burb · 07-09-2008, 10:44 PM

dropped front (pulled spring and bump stops)

about 2" to fender well rub at full lock on steering
still going to add 3" djm spindles

rear back on stands added 3" blocks

trimming fender wells and dually flares where it rubs
found this while trimming today

#4 rebar wrapped in bondo and paint stirs

will be back on wheels tomorrow for more measuring and a pic or 2
I flipped my rear with new perchs so when I get ride height close I'll set pinion angle than hopefully next week I can pull in back up the driveway LOL

tvblazer78 · 07-10-2008, 09:25 AM

That looks sweet!! get us some pics with it back on the road..

87 dually burb · 07-10-2008, 09:45 PM

back on ground with 3" blocks and centered wheels in well moved axle back 1.5" only got 1.75" drop from the block cause axle is out of the lowest part of arch now
front thinking of cut the plate on the front control arms that held the bump stops should get 1.5" drop with 1" bump stop to rest on when aired out
but it has the steering stops on it any thoughts?
next week going to remove inner fender wells and start relocating stuff
when finall drop is set will redo wells then
will order spindles next month along with front bushing kit

68GMC454 · 07-11-2008, 03:47 AM

man, a burban rocks, but you throw on a set of duals, and you got the prfect truck, well next to a crew cab.. always wanted one lke this.. looks great...

tvblazer78 · 07-11-2008, 08:40 AM

You will be ok with out the steering stops, when you tune it lock to lock just take it easy on it.. And that thing looks good..

87 dually burb · 07-11-2008, 07:09 PM

that what I was thinking cause most drop arms I didn't see any
biggest issue I've had to deal with is that the frame is off set 1" to passenger side would guess for spare tire location

so going to cut brackets off and set bumpstops in place this weekend
this will level it out for now but will rub fender well in front
tvblazer78 what is you front setup??
any pic's up and down with out wheel for reference thanks

tvblazer78 · 07-12-2008, 10:05 AM

Here ia a older pic, the only thing that i have changed is cut the cup for the bags 1". I have 3" belltech spindles and cut all the stops off. Hope this helps.

87 dually burb · 07-12-2008, 03:05 PM

what is the amount of lift you get from that?

tvblazer78 · 07-12-2008, 04:49 PM

About 6"-8"

87 dually burb · 07-13-2008, 01:55 PM

what would be the issue if you cut 2" out of the lower cup besides droping in a 1" when aired out
until I get my spindles on and cycle my suspension then see what hits
going to notch the frame rails now before they get in the way
think I'm going to lower the toy now just for fun

gotta love torsion bars and axle over rears

The thing that you have to look out for is if you cut to much you may have a bag hitting something on the A arm.. So do some test fits first..

87 dually burb · 07-14-2008, 12:38 AM

going to be a month or two for spindles and bags
got side track today and was lookin for mirrors found a set I liked on a seadoo jet ski got 2 pic's will post monday
going to remove stock mirrors,all dr handles,dually flares,tail lights,rear bumper and hitch
hope to get some welding done next week
roof rack holes need redone
fill in some holes mirrors,tail lights filler,dr handles
and all drip rail hole's about 100 of them
redo visor or just remove unsure yet

87 dually burb · 07-14-2008, 11:40 PM

also going to cut out rear flooor and notch frame 2.5-5"s what ever is need to bottom out flare in rear

cause when I notch it I have no place for exhaust,fuel line or ac line
I guess next week or 2 will be mostly tear down and removing every unwanted piece on burb

(*(*( phrase of the day )*)*)
the lower i get the more I have to cut out to get there

87 dually burb · 10-22-2008, 10:06 PM

got a little side track lately
and bought a 90 sle burb for a DD
$500 craigslist find loaded

also bought a rust free 88 3/4 2wd burb
complete minus 7.4
the more I looked at the 87 the worse the body is
late fall going to strip down the 88 for a "z"
and rear notch/raised floor/par 4-link
pic to come end of month when I line them all up in driveway(lol)
