It is really really dirty and has nasty looking windows,but I will try to get a pic.

sameyrasmea72 · 06-04-2011, 03:05 PM

Ok, Here it is !!!!!!

sameyrasmea72 · 06-04-2011, 03:07 PM

JK, I wished it looked that good. I have had that pic on my computer for ever and it might even be a members truck.

real pics next!!!

sameyrasmea72 · 06-04-2011, 03:09 PM

I hope some of you are not disappointed. If the pint was not faded, I think it would clean up to a pristine survivor.

Ok, keep in mind that it has been sitting for 12 years and is really filthy.

I think all of the original colors look good on these trucks, but since we will keep this truck as a survivor/original, I wish it would have been any color except light olive. Most of the original paint colors will buff out and shine somewhat, but not this metallic olive.
The interior is the best thing about the burb. With some heavy duty cleaning it should look great.

Our immediate plans are: deep clean\detail, paint wheels w/new tires, put the original front bumper back on (the P.O. had it in storage), and remove the towing bumper, make it mechanically sound.

sameyrasmea72 · 06-04-2011, 03:10 PM

last pics

budnikguy · 06-04-2011, 03:21 PM

oooh and the rare box of tissue option...WOW!! lol

VA72C10 · 06-04-2011, 03:50 PM

That is too cool!!!

**Joesjunk** · 06-04-2011, 05:15 PM

Very nice! You are right about that color, once it starts to fade to that silverish look, you cant really do anything with it.

**leddzepp** · 06-04-2011, 05:20 PM

Very nice find! I wish I could find another survivor like mine.

67chevy1series · 06-04-2011, 05:27 PM

wow clean it and your done!

NateK4340 · 06-04-2011, 10:41 PM

Guys, I got to see this burb in person today and it is in amazing condition! All it needs is a wash and detail job. Definitely a rare find!

Sounds like a good plan. Knowing you guys, that will be knocked out in no time.

That truck has found a good home for sure.

Flint70step · 06-05-2011, 12:08 AM

Holy molé!I thought I had a nice Burb,but that is pristine.Lets see the Spid please.Thanks for getting the pics up finally.The suspense was making me sick

**DANTIP** · 06-05-2011, 07:47 AM

WOW!!!

Nice find guys! That interior looks like it will clean up like new!!! I am so jealous!!!

Keep posting progress pics! This definitely looks like the new tow-rig (you'll just need a gas truck to follow closely!)!!

lynnfield · 06-05-2011, 04:25 PM

Paul, WOW, it doesn't matter if you like suburbans or not, that is awesome!

gcburdic · 06-05-2011, 08:52 PM

I swear these are tears of happiness for you guys....nice survivor Paul and Jason.....as others have said....it's found a great new home....is the CB a dealer add-on?

Geoff, the CB is an add on and so is the winch. The man that bought it new was a vet and he took the family to Colorado every year so he added the winch when it was new (we got the take off front bumper which is like NOS). It is a 10000 lb Koenig and the daughter said it was probably used 5-6 times. As neat as it is we will not leave it on so we may be interested in selling or trading. Open to any ideas.

vectorit · 06-05-2011, 11:45 PM

Awesome survivor for sure!

Number98 · 06-06-2011, 07:00 AM

Nice find for sure!

Now also be sure to let me know if you decide you don't like that roof rack and need to rid yourself of it....

Newtz67 · 06-06-2011, 10:12 PM

Awesome! I love it, and the fact that you will preserve it! Thanks for the pics, finally! haha. It looks like it has the long middle seat, but also a third seat. Is this true?

Duncan and son · 06-06-2011, 10:42 PM

both back seats are short, the third fits inside the wheel tubs and the center is short so you can get to the back.
Thanks for your interest Paul

Zoomin · 06-06-2011, 11:34 PM

I'm curious to know what your plan is to clean it up. I'd be tempted to take things like to cowl off to get whatever leaves and other items that may have accumulated, and get them out to slow down any rusting.

What's it like under the hood?
