[updated:LAST EDITED ON Dec-09-04 AT 02:14 AM (CST)]I picked up this 78 burban for $150! 4WD with 72k on the odometer, pulled the 350ci out of my '65 GMC 4x4 (which is for sale in the sale threads here),as the burb had no motor, anyway, thought I'd share my score!! http://stormbringer1835.tripod.com/id18.html

Ive got a 78 Burb 1/2 Ton 2 Wheel drive. Love that year. Great looking truck, mine is wrecked right now, i got hit on new years eve by a woman in an escort. I then purchased an 89 burb 4x4 with the insurance settlement check. I plan on fixing my 78 and putting the paint scheme of yours on it. Red with white silverado strip, also without the old silverado trim tho. Great looking truck youve got there.

nice score, I am a teenager who has been saving up for years to buy my own truck and just got a 78 blazer, and i have a question that might seem dumb, but i have been looking everywhere online for an aircleaner like the one on your engine, but i guess I'm either not searching right or am blind, so what are good places to look for 350cui parts?

Thanks for the kudos! I think I got that air cleaner at one of the local auto parts stores..NAPA more than likely. I recently replaced the door hinge pins & bushings, (great quality & customer service from ChevtDuty by the way), fixin' to do the Rancho "Add-a-Leaf" to get the rear of the burban off the ground! Then it's 32's for the footprint & it'should be warm enough to do the bodywork by the time I get all that done!;-)
