If you see an orange and white '68... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Heading from UT to MO in the next few days...

IT IS MINE!!!

Super stoked to FINALLY have one on its way after almost a year of looking!!

Driveable as is, but lots to do before I retire the 'ol minivan and make it my daily driver.

***happy dance***

(everyone asks WHY I wanted a classic 'burb, while I am guessing that isn't much of an issue here, I will explain anyway! We have three small, but growing kiddos and a big ol slobbery bloodhound. I was content going with another minivan, but my husband loathes them, even moreso he despises working on them. He refused. But alas, I am a cheapskate and refused to pay over $15k for a newer 'burb with over 100k miles. Insane in my little brain. So, this was our compromise. It joins 3 (yard ornament) 70-72 trucks. Two Chevy one GMC.)

Congrats!

2WD or 4WD?

I had a '72 2WD many years ago. I still kick myself for selling it. My favorite vehicle. I thought it road and drove similar to newer Burbs plus it was bigger on the inside.

Post pics when you get it.

1/2t 2wd with a small block 400. Will be swapping that out for something a bit more economical LOL!

Well how did you find this 68 you speak of? I have not seen one around that I recall

I am on the hunt for a burb and let a jewel get away last fall. A guy in NC bought it I believe and I saw it on here. It was a 71 c10 white with green interior.

I did run into two in a guys yard today and am going to head back tomorrow for a follow up visit.

I found it Ebay.

I think my saving grace was that it is GMC, which requires a separate search

They don't seem to get as much activity because of it.
