New to all of this, just got an 86 R20 Subruban!
Hello everyone, after years of having Japanese sports cars (and the car payment that came with them) if have decided to get rid of a car note. After I made my mind up to do this, decided I wanted an older Suburban (pre 1992).
After a month of searching found one that seemed promising. I pulled the trigger and bought it for $2300 and man was I supprised at what I got! 1987 R20 Suburban all original (still has stock radio!) no dents/rust, and everything works! After a few days of cleaning/polishing the stock paint was still in decent shape too! I am falling in love with this truck! I should have done this years ago! I am learning a lot about older Chevy/GM trucks and have a question. I noticed the rear end sags a little, this truck was a trailoring model that looks like it towed a heavy trailer. Through my research I found out I should have 56" leaf springs in the rear. Are there any other models of trucks/vans that have the same 56" leaf spring that my suburban can use? Maybe something newer that I could get some leaf springs from? This looks like an awesome forum, glad to be a part of this! |
