wrapping up. Well to update you all I have been busy at work and Burb is on the road. Right now just making sure everything works like it should and shaking out little details. I enjoy driving it every day and will be taking it on a camping/fishing trip end of august to try out even more...

Project NOT dead! i am just slammed at work for the last couple of months. I will try and get some updates later this week along with some pics.

Sorry one more to show the angle I put on the tire carrier. trying to follow the body line.

Guys I am sorry it is been a while. Also sorry for not answering the PM’s in a timely fashion as I have been busy at work and on the Burb. Attached is what I have been working on. The Rear Bumper! Thing is a beast. I used the Mounts from PMA4x4 and just started cutting metal. Only thing I...

While waiting for some parts I decided to put on the roof rack and front grill trim etc. cleans up nice. The look of the rack is exactly what I wanted. Grill makes it look a lot more finished in the front. So list of things to do yet are get batteries wired for the dual battery setup. Get...

As requested here are a couple pics of the seatbelt mount. I took the stock bracket off the stock seatbelts and welded the 90 degree adapter to it. Otherwise you cannot bolt in any seatbelt with the location of the stock holes (without the stock bracket). I did the same for the front although...

There are updates but I have been too busy working to get them up! The Project is alive and well. I have a camping trip scheduled for mid march and want to take the burb… we will see. Interior is done. For now. I added the interior winch control and dual battery switch from 12 volt guy...

Just a quick update guys. Working interior stuff stinks more than body work in my opinion. I cant wait to get to more fun stuff like roof racks, winch bumpers etc. One of the complaints my wife had about the truck was the seat belts. They would sometimes worked and sometimes did not. You...

So I finally got the windows sorted (two broken wires and one bad switch later). I am starting to tackle the interior. I just laid the carpet out to try and get it to relax a bit and I am working on the headliner and overhead console. The overhead console is actually stock with the truck as it...

After a nice long weekend and a trip to 3 different pick a(your) parts (50% off all weekend!) I replaced the passenger side/rear window I broke and managed to get both sides installed. There is not really any trick except to use lube. The gasket is placed on outside of opening then the glass...

Well I broke a right side quarter glass today. Got rear barn door glass back in and two front door windows and vent windows in. Does anybody know any tricks to the rear quarter glass? (Big windows). For some reason it is really not working. I have to find a new window :(

Well guys the going is slow. After color sanding and doing some buffing I am waiting for a bunch of parts that are on order. I did get the rear weather-stripping on the doors and door handles in. Also I starting working on the front doors. I had to spend some quality time with the doors and...

Finally back and in color! Now the fun and money spending begin. I Ordered new carpet kit and also headliner material along with a ton of weatherstrip. In the mean time I am going to be doing a little color sanding and buffing on a few dirt particles and some of the orange peel that is...

Thanks guys. Hopefully next week it will see the light of day (or at least get it back on the trailer and back home. My work schedule right now is killing me so not as much time to spend with it as i would like but I have to make money while I can! Color is 1989 GM WA-9201. Medium Mesa Brown.

Long time no post! Finally got the thing painted. I have decided to repaint the hood as it should have come out better but it is at least painted. The color is unique and I like the look. It should look really good with the black roof rack and front bumper. Started ordering rubber and also new...

Well this weekend we started painting. It did not go as well as we had hoped as we had a big temp drop and had some runs but did not come out too bad. I just have a little more color sanding and buffing to do. We decided to paint the top 1st and masked off the body seam of the roof. This is...

As of last week it is off to paint at a friend’s house. He has a paint booth in his back yard and he normally does not paint cars for people but we built/painted a car for somebody years ago together and also worked together at my previous job. I always try to stay in touch with him and we...

I have good memories of this body style. One of my earliest memories was in Oklahoma at my uncles ranch where they raised Brahma Bulls for rodeos. those suckers were mean. I remember watching the guys come to practice and my cousin somehow broke an arm. We got into the old suburban and...

So finally got the final blocking done and doors etc back on the truck. Hood fits good! Along with that I rebuilt all the hinges so no more saggy doors. Next step is paint! Pics of truck back together.
