    I want to drive an '89 suburban 700 miles home, what should I know?

    I am in a similar situation right now, prepping for a trip from Oklahoma to South Carolina and so far I have flushed all the fluids, check the brakes, replace the battery, did a few fixes here in there with the door locks, and getting the fuel filter off of the valve covers, but other than that...

    Squishy brakes- help!

    Thanks everyone it was in fact, the air in the lines and I got it all fixed up. I had a 68 Camaro with the same brake set up and I just have to drive it carefully. When you go from a brand new vehicle to a late model, there are some adjustments to make when anticipating the stop. I think...

    Need suggestions: What color interior for Midnight Blue Paint job?

    I found some used bench seats out there for the first and second row and I have an upholstery guy that will do them both for $1000. I think I’m going to be around 2500 bucks for the interior all in but it’s kind of a wash because I’m getting my paint done for a cost of materials so that’s saving...

    I think I’m going to go with tan plastic on the interior so I will make sure I am delicate when removing the interior so I can put it up for sale here when I get to that point!

    Squishy brakes- help!

    Thank you guys for the responses. This definitely helped! I found out the brake pads are new in the front, so I’m assuming they are new in the back even though I can’t see because of the drums. I did a brake bleed, starting with the furthest from the master cylinder and worked my way up and it...

    Need suggestions: What color interior for Midnight Blue Paint job?

    Thanks! I’m afraid to look up the price for Ferrari seats lol! I found the shade I’m looking for and it actually looks good with shades of blue. Can someone weigh in on if these shades are stock dash pad colors? And also are those door skins just upholstered over the stock pieces with leather?

    Interior Plastic Paint

    Definitely agree with @drumvirt thats some good info! One thing I’m looking at for my 86 suburban plastics is doing a 3M vinyl wrap. Not sure how easy that will be on the doors or how it will hold up, but the application seems pretty easy and only requires a heat gun. Has anyone tried...

    Hey everyone, I finally pulled the trigger on an 86 Burb! (Attaching pic) It’s a great project- sat for a year but I got it running. No rust. 6 inch lift! Here’s where I am stuck: Current interior is dark blue. Exterior is midnight blue. To avoid painting the door jams I was thinking I...

    10 inch lift and 37 inch tires on 88 suburban

    Thanks for the input guys- I’m not sure but I think mine may have a small lift and 33inch tires currently (I’m picking it up from out of state next week). @shiftpro : I have a 350sbc motor and standard 350 transmission I’m pretty sure. If I do 37 inch tires I’d do ones exactly like the red...

    10 inch lift and 37 inch tires on 88 suburban

    Hey guys I am looking for opinions here on the best lift kit and parts needed to run a 37 inch tire. My rig is mostly going to be for highway use but I’d like to have a big lift kit on it since it’s being wrapped for my company. Attaching pictures of my rig as it sits now, it’s the tan one...

    Hey guys I am new to the forum and I’m trying to find insurance for my 88 suburban and I’m hitting a wall when it comes to stated value because they are considering my vehicle an altered suspension vehicle due to the lift kit. I was wondering what insurance everyone uses for their vehicles that...
