Well the old burb made another 4000 mile round trip from Phx to Chicago and back. Again, no problems and 15 mpg. Who needs a $40,000+ new burb http://classicheartbeat.com.westserver.net/ubb/smile.gif

'69 G.M.C. (http://geocities.com/andys_69_gmc/) 350/350 and a heluva cam. Still trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man.
The 1970 One ton Longhorn (one of only 1404 built) with only a TH350...soon to be CADDY powered and a TH350.

The new steering gear,sway bar and wider tires sure made the trip a pleasure. I never have felt such control going down the mountains from Flagstaff to Phoenix.

Hey Chris!!
90 MPH down a mountain?!!!? with no DISC BRAKES?? LOL , Glad you made it home!

You havent found a 67 short 4x4 for me yet have you? The 67 is still setting where "crews" dropped it in the yard. My 72 has been giving me "fits" again! After tearing the heads off of it about a month ago to put new valve springs on, now the cam decides to go flat!! Thanks to a friend ,we should have her back on the road Wed night.
Talk to you later , Steve

Steve, you have to love those drum brakes! How about a 68 Short Step 4x4? http://classicheartbeat.com.westserver.net/ubb/tongue.gif I will send out that 67 overhaul manual later this week. Don't worry about payment. The cover is dirty and a little warn, but the reading is still good http://classicheartbeat.com.westserver.net/ubb/smile.gif
