New to this crowd, intro and question(s)!

I'm a lurking member here, mostly read the builds and such, but had a good opportunity on this suburban that I couldn't pass up (and got permission from the Mrs. for).



From what I know:
-1988 V10 Suburban
-350tbi (PO replaced block/heads with a rebuilt one less than 5 years ago, has less than 10k miles on it after transplant, reused original intake/fuel etc otherwise.)
-Barn doors on back!
-PO Added extra leaf to rear (used to haul loaded enclosed trailer 95% of the time)
-PO Added trailer brakes wiring due to previously mentioned use
-Some rust underneath the back doors on both sides, as well as fore and aft of the driver side rear wheel, and a dent in the right barn door near lower hinge (sits a little off kilter, but opens and closes without undue stress)
-Does not have third row seat, or even mounting brackets for one
-Runs OK... (questions posed in the Engine forum)

Thanks for looking,
-Trey

Yup, chevy was weird for a few years I guess. C/K before, R/V later. *shrug*
