1991 Suburban 454 - Strip it or Keep it!

I located this suburban last April with the intention of stripping it down for parts. I am rebuilding and 84 GMC shortbox into a 1991 (square body) "Street Coupe". As if you could walk into a GM dealer and order a 91 square body Street Coupe with a 454. I know to most of you this is a crazy idea, but I have a vision and will one day carry it out. It will be a cool truck I promise. But the dilemma I'm having now is whether this Suburban is maybe special, with the factory Tonawanda 454, the last year square body, and it's absolutely mint, inside and out. Just wanted to put this out there to get some feedback from the suburban people! I'm a square body truck guy myself to the core, but I can't in good conscience rip it apart if it's a rare unit. Hope to hear some feedback.

Very hard to find especially if the body is rust free and in good condition.

Still pretty easy to get most anything used, I wouldn't scavenge one that nice.
