A cooler burb.

Just getting ready for Summer, so I decided to add this to the burb, so took it apart cleaned it up, wet sand and polished it.
The color is very close to the truck.
What do you think?

Thanks, I just made and painted a small wooden surround that will be bolted it to the floor so that this can sit in it and not slide around while I'm driving.

Rare 4 dr. lol, funny. Thanks
The funny thing is when it's time to sell it's a rare 3 dr suburban, but as you look around this site and craigslist they may be hard to find in good shape for sale but not so very rare.
BUT ALWAYS, SO VERY COOL TO HAVE ONE!

Thanks you, yes it is very comfortable, clean and safe now.
The interior came a long way when when I first got it, it was trashed with pieces of rubber flooring left, mold, holes in the original seats and floors.
It was a complete fun gut job. I cant find the first pictures.
There is still more work to do, as always.

Wow $58, you guys get some great deals in the dry lands, around here these seat sell for $200 to $300.
But I did not want seats from a wrecking yard around here, because of the rain and mold.
My co-pilots is my 2 young kids, so a clean and safe truck is top priority.
