Thought I was buying one yesterday

[special-K]

I saw this Suburban for sale and stopped to look.It`s a`72 Custom Deluxe/20 400 a/c cargo door for $1,800...

I didn`t expect much from the body around here and not surprised that it was rusty.It was Medium Olive/White originally.The parchment interior was great althought cloth surfaces had been replaced in a not so great way.It even had a lift hatch & tailgate laying in the back.On the window it said it had 3.54s so I knew it was a dana.Looking in the fender well I got excited to see it was a coil rear.My thoughts were to roll it for fun for awhile,then I could always get alot out of parts:402/tH400,Coil Dana60,`72 overhead a/c,cargo doors,lift hatch,tailgate,door/side panels,under window trim,and on.It even had brand new exhaust and 16" radials.A pretty respectable big bruiser for the money.I`m funny about opening up doors and hoods without the owner present(right in his small front yard)and I didn`t feel like knocking,yet.I crawled under to have a look and see what motor it had.Just then the neighbor pulled in and started chatting.I figured I`d open the hood now.It has a later small block with all the later brackets,manifolds,etc.That just killed it for me.I usually prefer small blocks over big blocks,but that`s the biggest thing I wanted out of it.The guy`s a mechanic and drives it to work every week or so.I can get a number if anyone is seriously interested.
