60-66 suburban message board

[Tx Firefighter]

This thread has been resurrected from the dead pile.

[chevy_mike]

Yep... it sure has... but I can now add my name to the list... '65 Panel

[Bigffjoe]

I had to do a search for it. I also left CheifRocka a message about it. He says he is working on this.

maybe just a sub forum of the builds section? with a link in the faq so people that are new can find it?
I have a 64sub.

I do think it would be nice to have all the burb/panel threads and info in one place, you can find the stuff if you do a search, but I think it would be easier to have a home for all the sub/panel info, especially if people start suggesting good old threads to move over.

Sounds good to me....

I dunno, seems like a sub only board would slow things down. I guess I think of my truck FIRST as a 60-66, SECOND as a suburban. I mean, I love that it's a suburban, but I'd definitely need to follow 2 boards, then.......

I know it would be nice to have all the sub specific stuff in one place, too though. I kinda like the idea of a sub board for subs. Wait, what?

now I'm confused

[losthope]

how about a sub/panel/crew sticky thread up top with the other links instead of a whole new board...that you can ask specific sub/burb/crew questions and can always check in on it and find it up top without searching for it......just a thought.

LOL! Ya you are

This idea was brought up earlier this year in a different thread and has been mentioned a few times over the last few months. I too think it would be great to have a burb/panel sub-forum.

I keep my eyes open for a 2nd Burb, they are just too rare out here.

i like the idea of having a suburban section then it would be easier to find info and make it easier to connect with other suburban and panel guys being it would be all in one section

[ChiefRocka]

Liz mentioned to me this was attempted years ago (probably right after the thread was originally started)

Most people just stayed in the 60-66.

Seems to be more interest in them lately ...

I was thinking just one sub-forum for Suburbans (message and project) then see how it goes from there ....

Thoughts ?

[MikeS.]

John, that would work. Put it in the same area of the board as the current projects and builds sub-forum.

['65Burb]

Any info on the old 'burbs is good. Thanks

[LT1 Burb]

I kinda disagree, the subs are really for all intensive purposes nearly identical to the pickups anyways . I myself would probably not search another category and feel would miss out on info over there. I like everything bunched into the 60-66 board , it's like a magazine, you get to look at and read what you want.

[chevy_mike]

Don't forget us Panel guys in the sub forum.

We wouldn't think of it.

[ChiefRocka]

Ok .... Good points

I agree having the main forum 60-66 covering pickups carryalls and panels is best, but I would like to see a separate section in the builds

I agree; there is very little that gets discussed between the models other than body mounts and the difference in rear bumper. there is very little discussion about repairing rear sheet metal or rear doors on suburbans or panel,
it is just the pictures that most want to see I believe. there is a thread already for panels and suburbans. how often is it used?

I like this idea, just a sub (no pun intended) forum, right under the projects and builds.

I see it being exactly like the main page of the 73-87 board.

I think it should include subs and panels, since they share many similarities.

maybe the first post could be a gathering area for links to old and current sub/panel threads that we find, kind of like the faq post, and then you could use that to start moving the old threads over there.

The Stovebolt site has a Burban/panel section, it's slow but convenient. We're in for a separate forum or link or ?

and you have to sort through from 1936 and up in that section. there is much more 47-54 input in that section.

[suburban509]

I would like to see a separate section. It would be nice to check once in awhile for burb specific information.
