Re: I finaly got it home!!
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.

Re: I finaly got it home!!
Sry ,my son has already claimed the middle seat.Good luck trying to get it from himThe tint on the windows saved it from the sun.The cloth is nice and pliable and in over all super good condition.

Re: I finaly got it home!!
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!
