New to me 1971 suburban
I've been looking for a suburban for a while and finally picked this one up last week. It's was a 307 but has a 350 2 brl on it now, and of course a 3 on the tree. Runs good, stops good, and in all around decent shape. Former owner painted it this past winter, paint looks good but it's not perfect. Has a little rust in the floors and a couple leaks but a nice driver.
Plans are to drive it till this winter then go through the suspension and brakes and replace/upgrade everything. As for immediate I am going to work out all the little things like bolting seats in properly, find second row seat, get window cranks and clean and lube tracks |

Is this the truck that was on Craigslist for $6k? Looks real clean. It said it had a repaint, if I hadn't picked one up last weekend I would of been going to look at this one.
Nice find good luck with it. |

Yea outside is really clean, needs a little floor work and inner fenders but I don't have to repaint the whole truck to fix that. Gonna get lowered with some 20's this winter.

Good score! Three on the tree is a theft deterrent! And its green to boot.
