Thats not a C10 burb, thats a C20. In that case the 77 is pretty cool.
But id still go with the 87 but thats me.
Both are beautiful and awesome.

Man, both are very cool! I'd go with the '87 just because of it's a bit more "updated" and has the TBI. That being said, I'd ditch those wheel covers & get you some '90's GM alloy's or different caps!

Didn't realize that. Learning about this generation right now. Spent the last few years learning all the GMT400 stuff.

I don't know man. I dig the old school original look personally.

Alright everyone.....I know you have been on pins and needles. Haha. Got a lot of feedback, but ended up going with my gut. I bought the 77 C20 Suburban. Gonna fly out to pick it up in a week or two. Super excited! Can't wait to share pics of it. Now I just need to sell my GMT400 Burb to help pay for it. haha.

I know a guy in Georgia thats been looking for a GMT400 burb for a long time now. What year and mode, and how much?

It's a 99 5.7 2wd. In incredible shape. I went through the whole truck this year. Did the updated multi-port injector update that Chevy recommends. New timing chain, water pump, fan clutch, distributor. Has a Borla exhaust that sounds awesome, and an intake (still have the stock intake that will go with it). Have a ton of extras to go with it too. I had big plans for it, but it is basically a perfectly running unmessed with stock burb right now. If you want more info let me know. Here are a couple pics I took today. Not cleaned up for sale yet. Looking to get around $8k for it in its condition. No rust at all and straight.

I hope that means you'll be keeping the stock hub caps on the 77 then! I like the old school look as well! Can't wait to see the pics of it.

Definitely keeping it original. It is nearly stock at the moment already. Going to replace the instrument bezel so I can get rid of the single din radio and go to a retro one. Looking for some deadstock interior fabric that matches the seats. Would like to take it completely stock. Make it a driver restoration. Its just money and time right?

Haha. Hadn't thought about that. Not sure how the wife would respond to that though. Might need to buy some flowers and chocolate before I ask that one.
