New guy from Alabama
« on: July 02, 2013, 02:07:09 pm »
I have been lurking all over this site figured I would go ahead and post my junk up. 87 burb 350 700r4 combo. Working on spraying down with plastidip as a cheap cover up to keep it from rusting.

Here it is when I got it.
 





Here it is now after spraying it.


Still got a few coats left to finish it up. Anyway y'all keep posting so I got plenty to read  ;D

welcome from maryland not saying it doesnt have 400k but the odometer only reads to 99,999 and the white spot is only a tenth of a mile so if your only reading the odometer it says 47,783.0 could be rolled around a time or two or three maybe four but who knows

didn't know these trucks have hyper speed ? it is sort of like hyperdrive from star wars but it is a lot different. slower for one and without the pretty lights. the miles just seem to turn faster  ;)

Reminds me of one time when I was working transmission line construction. We had to cross about 4 miles of plowed cotton field in a rain storm. My old bronco clocked about 15 miles in the 4 mile stretch. There was a lot of mud flying that day. Didn't get stuck but it was mighty close a few times.
