Re: Finally bought another Suburban

I never even got to see it. How is it?

Like a 40 year truck would be; a mix of good and bad.
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 not so good: - Steering box needs to be rebuilt
- Miss matched gear ratios front to rear. The Eaton was replaced with a 14 bolt
- 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.
