Re: got me a burb
it has a crate 305 in it. i plan to make it nicer than it is. the rear interior side panels were covered with carpet and in bad shape. i cut new ones, stained them and installed them with decorative screw caps. looks way better now!

Re: got me a burb
You can get one used, or buy a new one from one of the vendors.
Rebuilding them is a waste of time and money in my opinion...

Re: got me a burb
i also purchased a 1969 c10 swb last summer as my first project truck. it had been parked in a field for 20 years. i am enjoying learning as i go with it, because i have never been a mechanic. now i am having fun with this!

Re: got me a burb
Nice find. Love the rear cargo doors. I prefer them over the tail gate. It's a lot easier to get thing in and out of the back.
