So I picked up a burb recently pretty good shape I have big plans for this thing

Here it is

Plans are to make it the tow rig light duty wheeler. Axles (at least for now) will be a 14b sf and a 10b. TBI 350 465 and 205 is the drivetrain. its already got a 4" lift I like the height. 35s or 37s will be the tire. I really want to chop (cut the back off to end up with a 4dr)and bob it. Thats the wheeler part of me talking. Rear suspension will be eventually be a airbag 4 link suspension front will stay leaves. Eventually I will put a TBI 454 in it. As soon as I tear into it I will start a build thread but it will be over a couple years.

Can't wait to get started on it
 
Sweet 'burb, but it looks like the windows were sponge-painted for a tint job.:D I also like the 4-link/airbag idea.
 
Yah, looks good, get some tint on it. You are on the right track with getting rid of all the 6 lug stuff.

What is the rear of that rack attached to? I see the raingutter mounts in the front.
 
Sweet. Burbs are where it's at. I had a D60, a 14FF and 4 39's in the back of mine yesterday and didn't even have to fold the seats haha.
 
the tint is actually a quite expensive skull tint. I pretty much hate it. Not into skulls at all, if it looked like skulls from a bit a way I would keep it but it looks sponge painted. In addition to that I plan on cutting the back off.

I will find a full float 14 b eventually, that and the 454 might be the first things I work on considering this will be my tow rig. I can do the 4 link for about 450 bucks including steel. I have already done an airbag suspension on a 79 dually so it will be close to the same. I really can't wait to get started on this thing. Got to get my pickup ready for Moab though and tear my blazer down first

The roof rack is already gone. I didn't like it.
