gcburdic · 11-29-2011, 11:21 AM

The driver told me that trailer was 3 days old....it had some really nice aluminum ramps that tuck right in the back cubby hole....

Alright... you've got it home. You've had a few days to "absorb" it. Have you started making plans for it yet? Or are you gonna ride it "as/is" for a while?

gcburdic · 12-02-2011, 11:51 AM

I really haven't been able to absorb it...it went undercover Monday after I got it (as you know, our baby girl came into the world Monday as well

), and not till yesterday was I able to pull the cover and look at her more....a very solid truck indeed, and I think I'll drive her for sometime before any changes, if any...I may get a new dash pad, steering wheel, add a tach dash, and hopefully find an am/fm radio

VA72C10 · 12-02-2011, 01:34 PM

Congrats...two new members of the family in one day

jeffg1010 · 12-02-2011, 10:55 PM

so... when are we gonna get 'em together

eyebuzz · 12-03-2011, 04:43 PM

It was great working with Geoff too - really nice guy - happy to have her go to a good home. And, Geoff, as you know you can't find a better place online for advice and comradery (trucks or otherwise). Best to all. TT

CG · 12-04-2011, 11:56 PM

Sweet burb, a good addition to your family. Not as good as the little one =), but still very cool.

Thanks Mark!!!...Funny thing is they both arrived at my house on the same day...

Longhorn321 · 12-08-2011, 05:37 PM

Awesome! I can't wait to see it in person. For the burb experts...is that the way the rear lights are supposed to be? Geoff, if you decide to ditch the hubcaps, I want dibs.

gcburdic · 12-08-2011, 06:27 PM

Dewayne...are you talking about the tail lights sticking out??...If so...yep...that's how they are suppose to be

Not gonna ditch the wheels or caps...I'm digging the old school look

Yeah, after I posted that, I went and looked in the burb section and saw that the lights were like that. I like the original look too. Don't blame you for keeping them. That thing looks "right" with them on there....to me anyway.

gcburdic · 12-09-2011, 12:39 PM

It looks right to me too

That looks great Geoff. I can see you toolin' around in that baby, with the baby....

jeffg1010 · 12-30-2011, 09:35 PM

Well, I stopped by (unannounced)

to see the new Burb at Geoff's house. And I have to say... WHAT A FIND! I love it! Unfortunately, I had just picked up my wife's mini-van at the Dodge Dealer up the road, so I wasn't even driving my Burb. But I am blown away by how nice it is. Super rare survivor! I cant wait to take 'em all cruisin!

gcburdic · 12-31-2011, 04:35 PM

Thanks for coming by Jeff, and I appreciate the compliment!!!

-Greg72 · 03-16-2012, 10:30 AM

Nice Suburban Geoff!!!

You may know the story already, but I sold that truck to Tim and was the lucky guy who found it in Northern California while I was still living there.

The story goes that the original owner bought it to tow his boat to the lake (the reason for that crazy 50-gallon dealer installed tank!), and put almost no mileage on it..... he kept it until around 2002. The next owner bought it and kept it for around a year but was forced to sell it when his company moved him up to Washington state.... I bought it from him in 2003 and enjoyed my sterwardship of that lovely 'Burb until July 2010. It was a sad day to be sure.... I'd really enjoyed my time with the old girl and we'd had some great adventures along the way (including a cross-country drive from CA to NH with another early Chevy in tow!)

I'm happy to see that she's treating you well.... she is a true unmolested survivor, and always seems to bring smiles and waves every time she hits the road!

Best Regards,

-G

gcburdic · 03-16-2012, 11:07 AM

Hey Greg!!!....I knew you were a member on here, but could never seem to find ya!!!....Thanks for swinging in and adding the history to this one.....This ol' gal has been coast to coast for sure....been going through the paperwork Tim gave me....mind if I shoot you a few PM's with questions??

I'm happy to help out with whatever I can... PMs or email is fine.

Is it too soon to call "dibs" in case you ever decide to sell???

-G

jeffg1010 · 03-16-2012, 07:14 PM

My Burb says it is too soon.

They've bonded. She is glad to have another "rare" 3 door running around town with her.

That is ONE SWEET RIDE!!!

Geoff: See how cool your Burb looks towing a trailer? Ya gotta buy a camper so you can go camping with us! We've already booked 2 trips this summer. One is Easter weekend! Ever considered renting? hehe...

thanks Greg...I'll put you down as 1st dibs, but plan on waiting a LONG time

mainly my questions are about engine stuff (looks like you did a complete rebuild), suspension stuff (did you replace all with new?), and curious why the rearview mirror was installed as a 71, not on the windshield since it's a 72??
