Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
I did some work on the wheels and center caps. New tires should be on soon and truck will be back with a solid baseline for me this week. Next step for me and my buddy is prepping the interior so he can paint that and we can get that all put back together and actually start driving this baby...- TheHoundsman

Thanks for the tips. I may still try to look to that. Not sure if NJ offers that but no harm in reaching to see. I would still love to find it if I can. Thanks for taking the time to read through the 11 pages lol. I appreciate the advice. I’ll let you know what I find out. The one lady at NJDMV...- TheHoundsman

The more I looked at them they seem to be 10 slot rally wheels. I am think I will just get that black paint off them repaint them with some Eastwood silver wheel paint add some rims and 4x4 hubs and call it a day.- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
A few more pics and also one more question. I have been looking at replacing the wheels on this truck at some point with some white wagon wheels and the question that keeps coming up is what offset do I need. The truck has what I am pretty sure is at least a 4 inch rough country lift on it and...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Good morning all, Sorry it has been so long since I have posted any updates. As I said last time I was having the Burb towed to a shop to have them complete what they were calling a “safety check” (basically a once over to let me know where I stood with the overall condition). If you...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Good morning, guys. I am back from a work trip that was longer than I intended. The Burb is in the shop now. If you remember, I couldn't start it and assumed it was the starter. They have not been able to crack it open yet, but they quickly looked at it and told me they think it "might" have...- TheHoundsman

I absolutely love this post and thank you for taking the time to write it.

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
That was my fist thought as well since it had to be jumped when they delivered it. So I left it on the charger over night and nothing in the morning. I did get a new battery because it would have needed it anyway and even with the new one. Nothing. Just tried tapping the starter and that was...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Quick question. After driving the truck a few times here and there, I went out yesterday morning and when I tried to start it “nothing”. Turned the key and lights came on but not real strong and then when I moved the key all the way forward I got nothing. No clicking just simply no sound. I...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
You are so right on the cigarettes. The ashtray was full and I found this under the seat. In a weird way it brought back some fond memories. My dad used to smoke Marlboro Gold (not 100’s). I also found this picture of us driving on the beach in his Suburban ( I think Daytona). You can see the...- TheHoundsman

That is exactly the plan. Starting with the exhaust thing needs a muffler. My neighbors are going to storm the house.- TheHoundsman

I figured out the exhaust noise. They were running a straight pipe on this thing, and there is no muffler to be found.- TheHoundsman
