this is the second sub I've owned now, the first was an "85 1/2ton 4X4 that I bought with about 63k on it, and drove to well over 200K!
I bought this one here, a 3/4ton 4X4 from the second owner three years ago, with about 86K and it now has 117K. Just stuck a starter in it over the weekend, no symptoms, up and died without a warning!
I took a trip to Oregon with two friends and our five bird dogs in my old '75 Int. Scout for ten days, were packed in like sardines, and decided then, my next ride would be a sub and been driving them ever since '90! Started pointing out every sub I saw to my wife, she said, "you want one of those Big Toads?" Needless to say, she got one of those sideways type looks! :drama:

I looked forever for one of these (4wd of course).... had to buy an F350 instead. :whine:

special-K 08-22-2005 10:21 AM

Yeah,I saw this and had to have it.I got what I wanted mechanically.Lots bof loaded Subs out there,and that would be nice.But,this is a jump in and go machine and gets the job done.The best thing is it was fleet-maintained and at 96K I could buy with confidence.If I see another,I want to buy it.I figure just to have the drvrteain for an older truck is worth it.

my burb
 
some pictures of my '76 suburban 1/2 ton, 454/th400, a/c, tow package, power rear window but manual all other windows and some sort of crazy cruise control lookin' thing. i think it is a weirdly optioned truck.
my plans include: flat black paint, red interior, bagged suspension, big rims, built motor and possibly a supercharger. the plan is for this to be my shop truck for the custom cabinet/furniture shop i would like to open in the near future.

Here's a pic of my 77 Chevy Suburban Silverado 20 Trailering Special. My dad bought it new in 1977. It came equiped with the 250 horse 454 & turbo 400.Limited slip 4:11 rear.
Has a buckskin vinyl interior. Had a few options on it including the 40 gallon gas tank with skid plate. Seems weird on a 2-wheel drive. Rear AC,tinted glass,big mirrors,grill trim,trailering package, Tilt wheel,cruise,power rear window,2-tone paint,heavy front springs,oil & trans coolers,etc.
Was a daily driver from 77-02. Had the engine rebuilt once & the trans twice. We put headers & a 2 1/2" exhaust on it. Always ran & pulled like a champ till he parked it. It really needs alot of little things to be nice again. No time or money, so I have it now & am taking the engine & trans out & using them on my sons 72 Malibu. Just gonna strip what we need & junk the rest. Too many projects & no time or $$$$'s. Oh, & before anyone asks, yes, the headlite surrounds are off a 79. LOL. Enjoy Brad

Here's my 85. So far I've replaced the original engine, installed an SM-465, installed warn premium hubs, and put a set of 33's on it. Haven't done much to the interior except remove the old smelly carpet and install better front seats. I have a new carpet kit and headliner for it. Future repairs include, new windshield, new injectors, and a new throwout bearing. Since I have to replace the throwout bearing, I am thinking of converting it over to a hydraulic clutch. I also need to buy the rest of the parts needed to do a 4" lift. I also have a Warn winch and a winch bumper waiting to be installed. Thanks!

Update:

I swapped in a SM465, added a meaner bumper, and pimped it up a little for work.:c2:

hahaha i need to get my convertible on here. 1977 Chevrolet 3/4 2wd, heavy duty application 454, turbo 400, towing package, big gas tank, cruise air and all the options. Some idiot cut the back half of the roof off (behind rear doors) to haul rock, and it wasn't a very rusty truck. Couldn't he had just bought an old ford to tear up??? i mean you just ruined a perfectly good truck. Oh well ill try to remember to get pics here.

edit: got the pics now
