Use 67-72 stepside fenders for the daully. Never seen it done to a Burb.

The military used to have some running around. That is the only place I ever saw any. I think it was out at NTC in Ft. Irwin, CA that I saw them last.

Use a narrow type DRW rear like on the cab & chassis trucks. I seen one a couple years ago at Carlisle truck show. It fit under it completely, like Chevy would have done them.

I have seen a couple of '73+ burbs done but never one in real life of this generation of truck. The narrow rear end will work but doesn't look quite right IMHO. Someday I am going to do up a panel or a burb in the same fashion as my '68 dually. As stated before just scribe and graft on stepside fenders.

Hi , Yes have done a sub, dually, use rear fenders from a 1 Ton dually 79 on a 73 sub ,in fact used the complete 1 ton frame an put the 73 body on , raized up all the body mounts on the frame an set the body down on it ,gave it a 6" body lift in order to clear the crossmembers on the frame . lot of work but worth it, looked good. Will see if I can find some pic's of it an post them for you. have fun Slim

Long Roof,
I have the same setup as yours. The PO installed the same middle seat. Does yours lock on the bottom?? It looks like yours lock on the sides. Mine doesn't. It has the same stops as yours, but not the bar on the seats for hook to latch onto. I need to get this fixed. My kids ride back there.

Long Roof · 11-06-2005, 12:07 PM

It does lock on the sides but the PO installed these as well and they need some adjustments.

I don't actually use this as a truck so I am considering removing the folding bench in favor of four buckets.

I would be interested in the seat backs only, or trade mine plus cash for yours. Like I said, I only need those so mine will lock. I do have the stops like yours, but my backs are without the bars to latch onto...
