suburban?

Nobody was on the suburban page, so I figured you could help me. My buddy's dad is selling his 80's burb and he said I could get it for $300. It has over 200,000 miles and shifts into 4wd tough he said. I figure if I don't like it, I can scrap it for over what I pay for it. I might go look at it tonight if I get a chance. Sounds like a deal to me.

Re: suburban?

anything that runs and is almost dependable is worth 500 easily.

Re: suburban?

$300.00 bucks I would jump on it. You can sale it for parts and make twice that easy. It may be time consuming though.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: suburban?

I agree, if it's running for $300 it's a deal. Being 4wd is a plus if you find someone needing the running gear if you don't keep it. I recently sold my '91 Burb 4x4 running and clean but a couple years ago I blew a hole in the rear housing when a pin let loose. Put a 3" hole in the housing, 3:73 gears, 6 lug salvage yard price was $575. Even if you decide to part it out, 700R4 K trans, wheels, doors, interior parts and misc. you can easily make your money back. Jump on it.
