1991 'Burb V1500 Resurrection

[Takai13]

Picked up my new project today. It looks a bit rough but I have seen much worse. For the price I just couldn't pass it up. For an old trailer (that I had no money into) and $80 (he needed a title for another rig). After 5 years under a tree in a hole it took a hour to drive it out. The tires took more time to air up that anything else. Third seat isn't there I could go get it but I really don't want to drive across the state to get it. Sitting on some mismatched 31's but it came with spares! So I have all 4 of the original Rally's (plus the factory spare), 5 classic White Steel rims (235/75R15) and 4 more on the same style rim with 31-10.5 Studded tires.

What a find! How much rust is there? Hard to tell from pics what's rust and what's dirt.

Rust? Except for the battery none that I have found so far. The sills and fenders are solid. I spent a bit of time doing clean-up and I think the pictures speak for themselves. 4wd works well, Front A/C is cold, Rear A/C needs some help (blower works on high only and it sounds like a lawnmower). A quick inventory shows that it needs a new windshield, one marker light, a headliner, dashpad (eventually), and a tune-up it should be good to go.

Wow! That thing cleaned up! Summit Racing has dashpads for cheap. So-so quality however.

I am going to order a window when I get to work on Monday. Beyond that I am going to focus on the headliner first. Being slightly tall in the torso a sagging liner just plain annoys me. Downside is I actually dislike the color red. Has anyone ever mounted on the bare ABS headliners and just painted it instead mounting one with the fabric on it?

Wow, she cleaned up nicely, ready for a night on the town!

I like it! Some soap and water really did it justice. I bet that dent in the door will push out from the inside.

But make sure to heat it with a heat gun to prevent cracking the paint.

I seem to collect Chevy's with a dent in that particular door. My '71 K5 had one, the 86 C10 I am selling has one and the 'Burb has one. Go figure!

Nice score. Can't beat the price.

And it is a barn door style.

I am jealous.

Coordinate dash cover installation with window replacement and it might allow you to get an excellent fit.
