My new truck!! 92 suburban....

[hewlett2002000]

I normally hang out in the 60-66 side of the board... but my car is on its last legs so i bought me a suburban. it has 30k on a rebuilt 350 (so the PO said..). runs and drives great. needs the front end rebuilt, ac compressor, EGR work(throwing a code). has brand new tires. near perfect interior. has a few dings but no big deal. i already knocked a huge dent out of the passenger door as best i could. it looked like someone kicked it. future plans include a gen III engine swap. im thinking 5.3l/4l60e. new dash pad, its cracked under the cover. after i get all the body work done it will get repainted, eaither the same color as now or like the picture below, not sure yet. only paid $1200 and its tagged and inspected, and runs and drives. i think i got a steal.
anyway heres some pics.

oops, forgot the pic of how i might paint it. lemme know if i should paint it back stock, or paint it like this. it will be a long time before i paint it though. i will be working in it while i drive it.
thanks,
John

Hate ta tell ya this friend but thet thar iz ah '91 model not a '92.
The '92's are the same body style as the '88 to '98 body styles.

Nice Suburban, I just got one myself. Personally i would keep the black & white paint job looks awesome. I'm going to change my woodgrain dash though.

I like the factory paint job my self

I'd get all the mileage I could out of that paint, it looks sweet as-is.

Definately keep the stock colors. Is that Dark Blue or Black, I can't tell in the pics. I would get the molding back on, change the PS Mirror to match the DS mirror, lower it and call it good.

Looks real clean for being 18 years old...

my cousin was ragging on my that my burb was a junker when i went to visit the other day. he is a jeep guy and his jeep is sitting in the driveway right now, right where its been for a few months now. you can guess the response he got... lol you know i dident even notice until you said something that the mirrors were different. lol the Bendix on the starter was not engaging fully and was getting bad so i swapped starters, idle air control valve, front brakes and lines and its alot better. when i got it, it was pulling to the right when you hit the brakes. it runs great but for sure will be getting an engine upgrade/update in the near future. the front end is fine btw, it was in the gear box. a little adjusting fixed that still need egr valve. checked voltage at the compressor and its not getting power when you turn the ac on. it has a leak in the ac system bad enough to hear it so im guessing its just low. the PO said it needs an orifice tube. i guess hes right. lol

i guess this can be my build/update thread. ill post as i get stuff done. after i get the egr and ac fixed ill move on to the interior. im gonna put captains chairs up front and a custom center console. new dash pad, lose the wood grain on the dash. i had 4 15" subs in a box but after i got them in and used them for a while one blew. the box was stored on end in a garage and i guess one end got wet and it rotted the sub on that end. im going to use two and build a new box. its gonna get infinity speakers all around. tweeters in the custom console. im also gonna add speakers eaither in the back doors or under the middle seat. i cant even hear the speakers in the back. lol i want a sort of surround sound system. im keeping the paint also. fix the head liner. after the interior is done i should have the parts collected for the engine swap. it will be a bit more work but i guess ill go for the 6.0l/4l80e. i just want to have everything i need so when i do the swap it will be done in a week. to do that ill just grab another drive shaft from another burb and have that one cut down to fit so i wont have to wait for that. with the 4l60e it would be the same length as the 700r4. anyways i guess thats good for now. sorry for the long post.
Thanks,
john
