Nothing too special here but a picture of a rust free rig (except for the typical paint delaimination surface rust) that a few buddies and I screwed together in CO for another buddy that was looking to transplant a solid squarbody SFA Suburban to MI. After a year of squatting around my garage the beast finally made the 1500 mile journey from Southern CO to Detroit in August 2006. He only had one issue while driving it to back to MoTown…..the heater core puked on the floorboard in Omaha. No biggie… just had to bypass the heater hoses and keep on trucking.
1988 GMC K2500 Suburban, 6.2L diesel, TH400
New goodies…
Swapped in new AMG 6.5L turbo diesel engine with a modified mechanical 4 plunger injection pump, tweaked early 90’s GMT400 turbo, late model oil cooling system, A/C and a 14 bolt full-floating rear axle with 4:10 gears to replace the original 14 bolt semi-floater.
Look out Kid Rock and Eminem…your hoopy has arrived. No 22 inch bling bling wheels allowed.
