Vehicle Description
STK 2788 1983 Chevrolet Suburban Ambulance K20
The Chevy Suburban is the undisputed longest-running nameplate in
the United States. The first Suburban was built in 1935 and it has
been in continuous production since - a total of over two million
units have been produced over 12 generations. During World War II
they were even used as a military vehicle. However, this unique
Suburban K20 found a different field of battle, serving as an
ambulance for most of its life. Overall, the exterior of this truck
is in very good condition. The factory paint has been well
maintained and there is a front 'bull bar' with fog lights. The tan
vinyl interior was refreshed in 2019. All gauges are working
perfectly and there is access to an auxiliary 12v power source
below the dash. Windows are tinted and the A/C system has been
recently serviced. Under the hood, the 350ci small-block produces
275lb/ft of torque and sounds strong. The engine is fitted with a
professionally rebuilt Quadrajet, new fuel pump (plus auxiliary
electric fuel pump), new ignition components, big-block HD radiator
and new 2-1/2" dual exhaust system. Power is delivered through a
700R4 four-speed automatic gearbox that was rebuilt with commercial
clutches, new pumps and a HD convertor (stock stall-speed). The
rust-free chassis is equipped with power steering, power disc/drum
brakes and new Rancho shocks. A 10-bolt front differential with
Warn manual locking hubs is paired with a 14-bolt rear unit by a
4-wheel NP208 transfer case. The fuel system has been cleaned and
serviced and a new trailer brake package has been installed. Tires
are meaty STA 'Superlug' 8PR radials in very good condition mounted
on 16" GM factory steel wheels. This unusual Suburban is a solid
value and should sell quickly. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
