Oops..I did it again!
Maddness is measurable. Tonight I brought home my 7th suburban. I honestly believe I have to own half of the surviving suburbans in the state of Minnesota. I have owned 10 in my life and still have 7 of them in my posession.
On to the burb. This one is a 1968 C10 from the arid, dry, and mostly rust free state of Montana or Wyoming. Body is very solid with a few small rust spots and dings. The engine is now a 350, was a 327. Trans is a th400. Rear is a posi 3.73. It has been converted to 5 lug all around. After market buckets, factory buckets, full middle seat and the other 3 factory seats too! I hope I will be able to get the family together for a picture!

I take it your wifes are Burb fans too? Our Burbs are real head turners. I guess I will just keep the "one" I have. My wife is understanding but not "that" understanding.
 The insurance and tags on what I now have is enough.

I think I know the one you are talking about 2-much-stuff. I spotted an ochre burb on the North Shore a decade ago in one of those little towns 10+ years ago. It might have been in Tofte, MN at a small repair shop. I bet it is still there.
 That one I don't own........yet.......
