New purchase
Hello everyone. I am normally hanging out on the 67-72 side but thought I would share a new purchase I made.
1985 GMC K2500 Suburban. I guess this technically should go in the sub category but thought I would share this on here as well.

Re: New purchase
When were the "PA1" Special Wheel Covers first available? Were they always the extra-cost option, or did they replace the dog-dishes at some point?

Re: New purchase
I’ve got a 91 suburban that is 2wd/4L80E 454 truck that has the dog dish factory. So I presume these wheel covers are an option?

Re: New purchase
Very cool rig. What's the story on it? Is it from OH originally?

The truck just came from Georgia where it spent it's whole life there. I bought it from the second owner who has had it since 2012. He had the 700R4 rebuilt and a jasper crate engine installed because it was tired and smoked. The truck has 156K miles on it but engine has 4k so I lucked out.

Re: New purchase
Thought I would share an updated picture. I have been sweating it out in the garage peeling away the oxidation on the paint. The roof is PRETTY BIG on these things.

Re: New purchase
Wow, that really came out great. Phenomenal in fact. I'm guessing it's been repainted with basecoat / clearcoat? The side really shows how reflective it is. And yeah, the rooves are huge. I had to keep moving the ladder around so that I could reach all of it. I remember it taking a good portion of an evening.
