Looked at this Suburban today

-
I went and looked at this truck this afternoon. It isn't advertised anywhere. It has the usual Iowa rust and has been sitting for quite a few years. I screwed up the SPID pictures (all 3 of them) so I may have to go back and re- take that. I also couldn't get the hood up. The drivers side hinge is binding. It is only 7 miles from me. They want $1500 for it. It isn't in the best shape but I would say it is saveable.

This stepside pickup is in the same building.

Re: Looked at this Suburban today

Would you look at that headliner. It's almost worth the asking price alone. Is it me or are those odd looking mirrors. Large arms with small mirrors.

Re: Looked at this Suburban today

Oh Boy!!! A big block suburban, auto trans, w/ AC...Take some WD40 with you when you retake the SPID picture, to get that hood open. The best thing about the suburban, it's a 71 or 72. Has disc brakes, that's a deal maker!!!

I will try to get over there and take a few more pictures this next week. Hopefully it will warm up a little and the wind will stop blowing. Another freeze warning for tonight.

Re: Looked at this Suburban today

I'm voting against any parting of a 72 big block, dual A/C, Custom Deluxe, tinted glass 3 row Suburban with full wheel covers. This wasn't a fleet truck nor was it a loss leader for the dealership (like mine). It has the hallmarks of a special order truck. And with a bit of fudging on the restoration this could be a beautiful Highlander.

Its a shame the parts are worth more than the whole when you consider it as it currently sits. I do agree with you, hopefully someone will get it that has always wanted a burb like this as a project.

Ive parted two perfectly decent for restore/fix up burbs. I compared them to another burb I had at the time that was highly optioned, but was actually a decent driver (until the engine horked lol). Lotta hindsight when playing with old cars and trucks.

Re: Looked at this Suburban today

I parted and scrapped a 71 440 R/T Challenger back in 85. It was badly so rusted you could look through the back of the door frames and see the rear wheels. Today it would be a $10,000 car. I paid $1000 for it as a running driver. Yanked the drive train, sold it along with some of the interior pieces, the hood, and drug the shell onto a trailer and scrapped it. Made $500 on the deal. Been regretting it for decades now.
I have some remorse issues.

If I was even 10 years younger, this would be a no brainer for me. I really miss my Suburban since I sold it.

Re: Looked at this Suburban today

Thats a nicely optioned 72! It must have been in covered storage for several years, that's the only way that headliner stays in that good of condition. I don't see any rust around the drip rail/windshield area either. Well worth the money.

I have been trying to get back over there now that I am able to slide underneath it and take some pictures. But so far that hasn't happened. I think the rain is going to quit this afternoon and the sun is going to come out so I will try and make it up there tomorrow morning....

Not much for rust up top but down lower it has some. It will be interesting to see what it looks like underneath.

I bet you could get that running with a little work. Paint job and seat covers and you got a nice suburban there. Please don't part it out.

OK, I finally made it over to take a few more pictures, and got the hood open. The body mounts have some rust but they are not as bad as I thought they would be.

Engine & seats. Seats would be pretty nice with a good scrubbing and engine is complete with all the original goodies. Notice the chain hanging down in the engine pictures? That's why the hood wouldn't open....
