70 Burban
I have the chance to get a suburban very reasonable and a pick up, but I'm torn between the 2. Could someone tell me the pros and cons to the suburbans like cost of parts compared to the trucks?!?!

Re: 70 Burban
The cost of parts are really about the same, its just with a suburban there are more of them like seats, windows etc.
The main drawback I have found is they arent as popular as trucks so some things are harder to find, but I love the fact that not as many people have the suburbans. |

Re: 70 Burban
The doors are different and the tailgate is different. Pretty much everything else is the same.

Re: 70 Burban
It was a 68 gmc, but I've got 2 of those trucks I'm working on and decided seething different would be better

Re: 70 Burban
I saw that burb on CL for a long time. It was very tempting to go over to NC and buy it. I am glad that a board member picked it up, it's got alot of potential. Good luck with your project.

Re: 70 Burban
It does have a lot of potential, also some rust!
I'm not sure how long it'll be before I really get started on it due to 2 other projects but I'm hoping I can make a decent cruiser out of it Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 70 Burban
Well after the rain and snow went over to the Burban took the wheels off to put some tires on them that wouldn't blow out. Now I'm thinking of painting them before I put tires on.

Re: 70 Burban
I got a roof rack off a mid-80s station wagon that would look good on it......
