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.

I hear that. If I had the room I'd have dozens of these things all over the place. I guess it may be a blessing I DONT have the room

still a shame to pass it up

TehNewGuy · 02-04-2013, 09:48 AM

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!!!

Do it!

markeb01 · 02-02-2013, 08:20 PM

For that price it would be a shame to pass it up.

62 Barnfind · 02-02-2013, 08:23 PM

Do it if you have the time to fix it.

dougf · 02-02-2013, 09:03 PM

Do it! Do it! Do it! For $800, why not? You only live once, and these days $800 doesnt go very far! I say do it! Did I say do it? lol!

burbluv · 02-02-2013, 09:17 PM

I'd be interested in the rims Randy.

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.

Do you have a link. Can't find it.

It has popped up from time to time over the last year, I will keep an eye out for it.

ljackson · 02-03-2013, 06:14 PM

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.

62 Barnfind · 02-03-2013, 06:45 PM

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.

63burban · 02-04-2013, 12:04 PM

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.

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.
