Well a bit of a delay but I finally got my squarebody, Big Red '87 last week. She in excellent condition, only 83,000 original miles and is 100 % stock with no rust or rot. Interior does even look like it's been sit in. Only issues that I found so far are a couple of slow power windows and a little wind noise from vent window.

Plan to make some road trips fishing up and down the east coast this spring and summer.

Love the Burb, welcome from Houston!
First Burb I was ever around much was the one my best friend in third grade's Mom had...red and white '74 with a 454 and saddle tan interior. She was field trip Mom for our class, most of the kids could fit in it!
They bought it to haul their Holiday Rambler travel trailer on vacations. A few years later, my folks bought the trailer, should have bought the Burb too. It would have pulled it better than Dad's 75 Sierra Classic did, with its puny smogger 350. The '78 Sierra shop truck pulled it better, but it was an unstickered Heavy Half and also had headers and duals and probably better gearing.
