Not Mine...... Mustang running gear? Odd, but looks cool!!!! Price ain't too bad either!

Bert W · 01-04-2012, 04:39 PM

I'm missing something with the Mustang running gear comment. Did you call the guy and he tell you it had Mustang running gear?

Slick67 · 01-04-2012, 04:46 PM

Sorry, not Mustang meant Modern (91) running gear. Wonder how much of it was upgraded? Odd looking....

Not my cup of tea, but different.

72GMCK-2500 · 01-04-2012, 05:04 PM

Umm Its definitly different, I bet its 1 of a kind! Its kinda odd looking too!

Gobbles · 01-04-2012, 05:25 PM

Haha I love it, that would be a killer camping Rig, fits the quad, the gf and the dog!

shawno72 · 01-04-2012, 05:32 PM

The price is definately right.

**special-K** · 01-04-2012, 05:52 PM

It seems I've seen that thing posted here back a while for sale,like a few years ago. Personally,I think it's a dumb waste of a good Suburban. Kinda like an Avalanche. Why not enjoy the benefit of a covered and lockable cargo area that's accessible from inside? It's already a truck,just one you have the option of a 3rd seat and cargo space,over 8' bed,or 6' bed with crewcab

mrein3 · 01-05-2012, 08:38 AM

I'm with special-K and shawno72 on this one. An Avalanche - or in this case a copy of one - is a crappy SUV (no interior space) and a crappy pick-up (no 8-foot bed). You gotta pick what you want (SUV or pick-up) and roll with it.

hugger6933 · 01-05-2012, 08:46 AM

For those of you Avalanche haters I have one now built right before thanksgiving I love it it is the 2nd I have built and since have bought another to build next on the shop list. They ride as well as any car or truck I have ever owned and can still haul a bit granted not as amuch maybe as a regular truck but it can lock cargo awy. I used to make fun of them as cut up suburbans and the like till I owned one and now numbers 2and 3. I see alot of those thing on the road and as a car dealer I try to pay attention to that sort of thing ...just saying

**special-K** · 01-05-2012, 09:58 AM

Ok sorry,it's dumb like a Honda Odyssey

To each their own. Cars ride like cars,too. Trucks and Suburbans can haul enough to justify their poor fuel economy and I like how trucks ride. I can only imagine what a headache that seal between the bed will be as time goes by. About the only thing an Avalanche can do that a Suburban can't is haul a refrigerator upright. But,I'd rater lay the thing down in the back of a Suburban and let it settle before plugging in,LOL. Like I said,to each their own. Obviously some like them or they wouldn't be around. I think they're dumb,but especially this Suburban because it can't even do what an Avalanche can and it was a good classic before someone got out the sawzall..
