wow! What a deal! Someone invested alot of time and money into that conversion

I agree. A lot of money and time in that one. If wanting something like this, this is a steal. Trevor

Darn and I already spent my tax refund. That is one heck of a nice lookin burb. Hope someone from the board gets it.

very interesting.
I'll bet the owner doesn't even know it's a one of a kind.

very nice and its a 3/4 ton 2wd also with minimal mods.....make a great everyday driver as well as going to car shows.

johnechi · 03-05-2010, 05:58 PM

If you look at the front hubs, I'm pretty sure its a 4 X 4.

I'd call a hand fab'd 4th door a seriouse mod... but that's me.

what i mean is it wasn't chopped, slammed, molested, raped, pimped out or any of that crazy stuff. i see a truck with a fresh paint job and some nice wheels but looks like it rolled off the assembly line more or less. i like my burb being a 3 door but 4 doors is immensely practical. that truck just needs a flip second row seat and quick remove 3rd row and it will work as well as any modern burb serious use.

as for being a 4x4..... you might be right. what threw me off was i didn't see bulky leaf spring packs hanging down behind the front wheel in the close up pic. i prefer 2wd's for the ride, simplicity, cleaner under carriage and front wheels not sticking out, but if i needed a 4x4 i'd use the running gear from a later model gm truck with IFS and throw on the widest rear axle i could find. a converted to 4x4 with ifs and trailing arm rear suspension would be really cool.

if you threw on some newer looking wheels it would be great.....man I wish I had more money (like we all haven't wished that before)
