Cheesy yes, but horrible??? I can't even make a guess at what a nice looking mechanically sound Suburban goes for now-a-days...but I'll bet that it's less than it would be next month...at least that seems to be the trend? In any case, enjoy using it for it's intended purpose...hauling the family around!

Thanks. Yeah, those hood vents aren't horrible, but one is missing so it makes the other 5 look out of place. Easier to remove than to locate a 6th one.

There is a thread just below yours called "Suburban and Panel Finds". Look through that and you will be able to compare a few examples....

LockDoc
Thanks. I've looked through there a little bit. They are all over the map, both literally and figuratively.

It is hard to tell on my computer, but are the door handles and emblems body color?
Welcome to the 3 door life.
Thanks. Yep, I'll get more pics up pretty soon. You are correct, the door handles and locks are the same color. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a key for the door locks, so I'm gonna be changing those out. Gonna try to save the outer ring, but may not be able to.
