The good: - Like you said, well optioned
- Doesn't look like it's ever been wrecked and is 99% complete
- Runs strong and drives straight.
- Rockers and floor look good
- Has original dealer installed tow hooks
- Seats have been redone. New foam and covers
- The Eaton was replaced with a 14 bolt
The not so good: - Steering box needs to be rebuilt
- Miss matched gear ratios front to rear.
- Some rust thru on the doors, upper wheel arches, lower tail gate
- A/C compressor is on a box in the back. Was not reinstalled after engine transplant.

Great looking Suburban. Nice find.
The 14-bolt is a great unit. Tough as nails and easy to get replacement parts for. Not so much the HO52/72 they replaced. I moved this to the good side of your list. 
What gears are in it front & rear now?
