Should I
Addiction, I see a suburban & i feel i have to own it. Factory 4x4, non-op, running 350, frame is solid but the roof is toast (rust). The price is right asking $800 but i think i can nab it for less. Thinking hard about it. I do have another 64 body in pretty goo shape i can swap.

Re: Should I
With a running engine and semi solid body ( dealing with a rusted roof now it does suck, but it's not the nightmare I thought). If you got the room yea man, go for it!!!

Re: Should I
For that price it would be a shame to pass it up.

Re: Should I
There was 64-66 suburban body on the EUgene craigslist for 250.00 and it looked pretty clean. Would be a cool rig when it was put back together.

Re: Should I
I would get it. That is if my wife said I could. Cause you know, if she ain't happy, nobody's happy.
The price doesn't sound too out of line for 4WD. A little high for a rust bucket. BTW, are the rear body panels the same shape as a fleetside bed panel? I was thinking I could use the fuel filler door from a trashed sub on my pickup.

Re: Should I
I was thinking about it. Buy it put all the parts on it and get it running and sell it. I bet you get $2500 after that or more.

Re: Should I
You guys on the west coast crack me up, rust? what rust, the roof can be fixed easily enough. Come to the mid-west, we'll show you rust. BUY IT !
or send me the guy's number and I'll buy it. |

Re: Should I
That's funny because I don't even look at anything that's rusty. Doors, fenders whatever, if there's rust I pass, I can't imagine what you have to deal with back there.

Re: Should I
You're asking the wrong bunch of guys if you're looking for logical, un-biased answers.
