We are unfortunately going through a hard time as a family. My wife has been fighting cancer so Mabel, my prize suburban is being sold. Have put a lot of love into her this year and wanted to keep her forever, but now I have to make a move. Below is the post I made on FB Marketplace, so I am just copying it for you all to see what I have done and how she is. I'll post some pics, but if you want more let me know.
1977 Chevrolet Suburban C20 - Scottsdale
$25,000 OBO
This is an all original C20 3/4ton truck. Has the 5.7L with just over 79k miles. Runs great and is my current daily driver. You don’t see these often, and definitely not in this original shape. Everything works and is as original as you will find. Even has the original unused spare tire, jack and tire iron, fire extinguisher and even the hard to find trash bag in the cargo area.
Tires were replaced 6 months ago with high end Coopers. AC compressor, lines, evaporator, and expansion valve all changed this year. AC works and blows cold. All new belts and alternator last month. Speedo works and the speedo lines were replaced last year along with the speedo gear. Cruise control works. 8 track radio works. There is also a hidden stereo that I put in behind the dash that adds bluetooth, 4 infinity speakers, and a hidden subwoofer to make it sound nice. Doesn’t rattle the windows or anything, but sounds great.
Interior is in overall great shape. Has the original factory rubber floor everywhere. In the cargo area there is a rug over it to protect it, but it is all there and in great shape. All the door panels look great. All the trim and windows are there and work as they should. The seats aren’t collapsed and the foam is perfect. The fabric was tearing on them so I put in custom covers that look great. Was going to get them reupholstered eventually. The headliner is the original snakebite vinyl, but is sagging down. Dash is in overall great shape. Has a couple cracks in the middle, but very solid. It has the original midland CB radio installed. The original owner had that put in by the dealer and it still works.
Exterior looks good. Has some surface rust around, but is solid. The only place that has it deeper than surface is behind the wheels on the front fenders. Could use a patch panel there if/when it gets a paint job. It has all of the hard to find gold 1977 only trim around the whole body. The clear coat is failing on the passenger side. Overall, very straight and has a beautiful patina look that everyone loves and compliments. You will definitely get stopped and asked about this truck all the time. People love it.
There is no rust under it at all. Super solid and in beautiful shape. Bolts come out like they should and aren’t seized or frozen in place. Looks like a 10 year old car underneath. Brakes work great. Replaced fronts and the master cylinder about 6 months ago. Stops great and tight. No spongy feel at all. No oil leaks, valve cover gaskets changed 6 months ago.
This is a very stock, and very original truck that I have driven across the country in this year already. Looks great as a patina truck right now. Would be such an easy truck to do a full restore on if you wanted as well. Starts and runs every time. Fun to drive. I love it, but need to move on. If you have any questions let me know.
Comes with all the original books and manuals and the original RPO identification sticker.
Don’t need help selling. Will mark as sold once it is gone, so no need to ask if available. If you have any other questions, or need more pics please let me know.
