I agree. Just talked with the guy...hes a bit older, Im not sure he knows what he has.

Im hoping to meet him to look at it this afternoon.

He didnt have the VIN handy, what sould I expect: 14BSF and 8 lug 10 bolt, 350 or 454 and a TH400 or 700R4...?

I dont see manual hubs, but he said it was 4X4...so auto hubs?

He said the interior was mint and 135XXX on the odometer.

yup np203

I have my doubts as to if it's a 4x4.

Wants nearly $7000 and only one pic?

1985-88 front end.

350/700 truck likely if it's a 4x4. 454 wasn't available in the 4x4.

Glovebox door, didn't catch that. Yeah, he wants ebay prices for his craigslist truck.

exactly :) It's definitely a nice truck but I think a fair price IMO would more like 9k which may still be on the high side for some :shrug: Oh well, I guess he'll hang on to it for a while unless he finds someone really hard up for it.

its an 88.... calling it


Nope, it was an '89......get this, his wife posted the ad and pulled that pic from the interwebz.....that wasn't even the same Suburban..!


I have my doubts as to if it's a 4x4.

It was super nice though..! Interior was mint just like he said, only it was a half ton, not the 34T pictured. I snapped a ton of pics, dual batteries, dual air, 3rd row, 350/700R4/NP241....bone friggin stock. Dude was at work and was just like here are the keys.... It drove really well, everything worked, tons of receipts, copy of original sticker.

I think I'm gonna hold off though. I'd feel really bad offering anything less than $6K and he seemed pretty firm on his price.


I typed this while pooping.....

Want is strong...Wallet is weak.

Yeah I know how that goes. But you can live in your car... you can't drive your house :)

Seriously though, I hope it finds a good home.
