Hey I came across an 81 suburban trailering special 4x4 for 800$. Rough shape but runs and drives. Any info about these? Good deal?

Thank you for any help :)

Is that figure is in CAD? That translates to $642 USD if so. Even if you already did convert it over, I think it's still a decent enough deal. Does it run? Drive? Interior? What's the overall rust situation? I think that's the biggest detractor besides hacked up wiring. Anything else can be reasonably combatted.

31" would be about the limit for full articulation without trimming or lifting.
