    It’s a disease

    Welcome to the forum, from Houston. I agree, one old car or truck, becomes two more easily than it should. My Dad had that "problem" and it eventually got expensive. I kinda had it too, and finally got rid of my extra projects. Two daily drivers and one long term "retirement" project is enough....

    Hello. And weight Q for title in Texas.

    That sounds about right. I had a '90 R2500, and it probably was around 6000#. So for the 4x4 parts, 400 extra pounds? For comparison, my OBS C1500 Burb is around 5100# on the title, and my OBS C3500 5.7 crew cab long bed is 5500# on the title. Texas used to have "car" and "truck" plates, and...

    Heater not very hot

    I want to say that square body trucks don't have a factory heater control valve? Dad had to install a manual shutoff valve on several of our trucks, because the warm coolant going through the heater core year round, in the summer it affects the performance of the AC.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yup, a few years ago I had to replace the radiator in my Burb. One tank was leaking, and for $100 more than fixing that, I could get a whole new radiator. So that's what I did....

    Yup! I feel like that too. My OBS trucks are as new as I want, unless it has a good extended warranty.

    How to flash high beams?

    Yes I think that is a European thing; one of my buddies on the 400/OBS forum was asking about that when he first got his Burb a few years ago. He's in rural Scotland, so this is something he needs to do often when driving at night. I think he just double pulls/clicks the dimmer switch, on the...

    Decorative front license plate poll

    So according to him, even if you're just passing through, you have to register your vehicle in that state, to get the plates required? Sorry, I'm calling BS on that.

    Was it maybe an option? I remember that Dad had to add this to our square body Burbs.

    Mirror correct for ‘81?

    The van mirrors have a crook in the L post that the mirror head mounts on. Pickup/SUV ones, that post is straight 90° angle. You can see the crook in the van picture if you look closely. Here's a couple pics of the truck style:

    Classic running boards

    I have a bunch of used boards like this style, but none of them have the flared part for a dually. All our trucks were single rear wheels.... Also I'm in Texas so shipping is ridiculous on anything "oversized".

    R or V? Looks just like my '90 except it was light metallic blue on the rockers, below the trim. Good looking Burb, welcome from Houston, TX.

    Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue

    I want a shell for my crew cab, to make it simpler to load/pack for shows and swap meets. Also more weather proof. Of course I will have to put a proper tailgate on it too, since it came to me with one of the free flow ones. Mom doesn't want one, because she likes being able to see out the back...

    Octane

    I currently run E10 89 octane mid grade in my daily, '97 Chevy CCLB with a 5.7 Vortec. My '90 R2500 Burb had a 350 TBI in it, and that truck would run on just about anyone's gas. Usually ran 87 from Shell in it.

    Mid-late 90s Bench

    Yes, my '97 crew cab has the one in the picture, in front, and a one piece bench seat , with the fold down armrest, in the back. I think this is standard equipment on an OBS crew cab, and the front seat can be this split bench or buckets and the console. At least on the Silverado; the Cheyenne...

    Exhaust single to dual on a tight budget - Then we get into some after issues

    I had to learn just how to plant my boot on the tube, if I have to step there and not on the pad. I don't like falling out of my truck either!

    86 suburban 2wd to 4wd

    Looks like a very well preserved Burb, good luck with your project! I'm partial to square body Burbs; we've had 5 of them. Two OBS Burbs as well; a '99 C1500 5.7 that was wrecked after eight years of ownership, and it's nearly identical replacement (which is actually a better one than the first...
