Re: Daily Driving a Square Suburban

Hey, Wes. I totally get where you're coming from. I just can't get excited about a new truck and the payment that comes with it. A 97-99 is probably the most reasonable choice (cost, options, comfort, drivetrain, etc.), but I always loved the late-'70s square trucks. Dad had '77 and '85 Suburbans when I was growing up and I'll always be drawn to them. Thanks for the compliment on Earl. I'm gonna miss him.

Really nice truck, Keith. I've said for years that if GM would put a modern drive train and some of the modern conveniences into a vintage-style body, they'd have a home run. That, or make a Suburban in work truck trim for guys that want to use them as trucks with a price-point to match.

I have a really clean '88 located. But still thinking about that '76...
