HIGHLIGHTS: 5.3L LS V8 engine swap with over $13,000 total
invested! Fuel-injected reliability! 4-wheel drive! Classic rally
wheels with 31-inch off-road tires Nice original tan vinyl interior
Rear barn doors for added utility Recent brakes, shocks, and
U-joints Proven long-haul performer with round-trip from NC to SD!
BODY OVERVIEW: This Suburban wears the character of a life
well-lived. Despite some rust in the rear quarter panels, as is
often the case with squarebody trucks, this 'Burb is a great
candidate for a light restoration or as a super cool driver as-is.
We like it because it still turns heads with its honest, rugged
presence! The barn doors add a touch of old-school practicality and
charm that collectors and drivers alike will appreciate. PAINT
CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint is aged but presentable, especially
for the care-free driver this truck was built to be. As shown in
the photos, there is some patina, imperfections, and surface wear,
but no need to fear taking it off-road or through a gas station car
wash! It's not a show queen-it's a real-deal driver, built to be
used, not babied. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The tan vinyl
interior is a highlight-clean, inviting, and comfortable. It's not
showroom fresh, but it's in great driver condition and provides a
retro-cool atmosphere. There is some sun damage to the dash and
tops of the door panels, but nothing that detracts from the overall
vibe of the truck. The classic Suburban spaciousness is all here,
with room for everyone and everything! Tastefully dark tint on the
rear windows adds a touch of privacy and class. MECHANICAL
OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this Suburban is miles ahead of stock
thanks to the 5.3L LS V8 swap. It fires right up, runs strong, and
cruises confidently. Recent maintenance includes brakes, shocks,
U-joints, hub maintenance, and more. It's been tested on long
highway drives and is ready for more! Keep in mind, the LS swap did
result in some non-functional original gauges, and there's no A/C
currently installed. The steering also has a bit of that classic
"squarebody wander," which may benefit from adjustment or
replacement of steering components. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS
CAR: Reliable, powerful LS engine that transforms the driving
experience Vintage squarebody looks with upgraded guts Honest
driver quality-you can actually enjoy it without worry Tons of
recent mechanical work already done ($13,000 worth!) A Suburban
built to be used, not pampered! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
It's not restored or show-perfect Some factory gauges are
inoperative due to engine swap No current air conditioning Steering
could use dialing in for optimal driving comfort DOES IT NEED
ANYTHING? Some attention to the steering system for improved road
feel, and new gauges (or adaptation of originals) if you want all
the original instruments functional. A/C installation if desired.
Otherwise, it's turn-key and road-ready. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR
THIS CAR? Perfect for someone seeking a classic Suburban with
modern drivability, who values function over flawless paint.
Someone who wants a classic truck, with modern reliability, without
the wallet-emptying price-tag. This is for the enthusiast who wants
to hit the road, not just sit at shows. Whether it's a weekend
adventure rig, family hauler, or daily driver with attitude, this
