Re: Which Year(years) Suburban do you like?
I love the mean look of the 73-79 Burbs. All Carb'd, 3/4 ton's in these yrs came with full float rear axles.
79-80 had that funky Single headlights that had the turn signals incorperated into the headlight housings. Did I mention that the Dana 44 was replaced with a 10bolt? 81-86 Brought in the era of crappy 4spd autos(700r4), Chain driven/Aluminum transfer-case, and power-robbing smog equipment. Great looking grille though. Full float rear axle, no longer a option for 4x4. 87-91-Best years for dependability/drive-ability.. 700r4's saw improvements, but best of all.. Fuel Injection. Manual Trans got easier to drive with the addition of a hydraulic clutch. Only problem with these years. No factory 454 v8 in 4x4 Burbs. I have owned or own: 78-k20 305(now 350)/465/205 10bolt(now dana 60)/14bff 83-k20 350(454swap)/700r4/208 10bolt/14bolt semi 91-k10 350/700r4/241c 10bolt/10bolt(14bff swap) I don't think that there is a best yr for these trucks.. I like the mid 80's for the looks. The late 70's for the axles/drivetrain, and the 87+ for the grill and fuel injection. Pick your poison and start making something.
