Hi all, been reading awhile but this is my first post. A few months ago my Dad said he wanted me to have his 71 Suburban, it has been in the family since he bought it in 72. Lot's of great memories ride with this Suburban, I got my DL in 75 it was the party wagon back then!
It's been parked for at least 10 years now, but my Dad made sure to start it up at least once a year. I live in Vegas, I headed up to So. Utah this Saturday morning to get it running, load it up and haul it back, just got back this afternoon!
Put a couple gallons of fresh gas in with the old, charged the battery and she started right up
Needs quite a bit of work but is in great shape considering.
It originally came with a big block 400 but Dad and I built and swapped in a 454 14 years ago, it might have 10k on it. BTW still have the original 400 stored in the barn.
Here are some pictures I took with my phone today, forgot to take some of the interior, I'll add them tomorrow.
