It has Arizona radio station stickers in the cab so I think it may have came from there.The interior is very nice and original.The core support has no rot and the only place i saw rust all the way thru was just behind each rear wheel.This is going to make a nice work truck for me,and the boy will love it too
After work today i went to go get my Burb.I had to pay a little more than the $600 I said i was getting it for,but I think it is well worth what I paid for it.The interior is so dang nice and original I had to pinch myself a few times today.Here are some pics that I took tonight.I will some more when the sun comes out tomorrow.






In one of the pics i rubbed my hand on the rear quarter and the oxidized paint seemed to come off pretty easy.I'm gonna sweep her out and hit everything with some soap n hot water. I'll post more pics in the morning.Tell me what yall think. Be good

Looks like nothing but surface rust to me. You got a steal of a deal on it.

Re: I finaly got it home!!

Today I wiped the interior with a dry rag to knock down the dust a heavy dirt.Then I swept it out(a lot of small mouse droppings and acorns/snail shells).Then I used a green scotch bright pad and the water hose to lightly scuff the oxidized paint away.I think it came out looking 100% better,plus the patina is really nice.I may keep it this way for a while.I'm gonna have a lot of questions for yall when I start taking the motor and trans out of my 95 gmc vandura3500 and use the computer and wiring harness for the burb.Tell me what yall think.Be good

Re: I finaly got it home!!

While cleaning out the burb this morning i confirmed my suspicions of it being from Arizona.I found a temporary registration receipt from Mesa,Arizona in 1995.there is also a registration receipt for a 70 chevy truck with LP "LADDA".The name on both is Ronald O'Brien.After I found these receipts,Ive been wondering all day if this burb was owned by a board member.Thought it would be cool if it was.If so,would be cool to learn more about the history of the burb.Would blow my mind

Re: I finaly got it home!!

You look a little short in that pic next to your new 'Burb.Are you sure you'll be able to see over the steering wheel? Nice truck,sounds like a cool project.

Haha, well maybe I can work a deal with him... My 5 year old helped me bleed my brakes the other day, and was under the truck with me on his own creeper. Good times!
