    Just starting slow. I have pulled off the front and back door floor moldings and will try to clean them up and see how that works.

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    I started to clean it up a bit yesterday before the EAGLES big win!!! lol Sorry I am not sure how to add more than 5 pics at a time. It is pretty rough but for $3,000.00 that was expected. I will post a few more times with the remaining exterior pics and then some interior as well. The issue...

    Truck got delivered today. Once I dig in and start to get the trash out of it and cleaned up a bit I will share some better interior pics and ask for some advice if you don’t mind.

    If I remember right I think one of the reasons my dad sold it back in 1990 was because it was starting to rust then.

    Unfortunately that’s the conclusion I came to as well. I was able to confirm that it was never salvage titled in NJ but after that it was all dead ends. We will move forward. Just like the $6,000,0000.00 man “we can rebuild him”!

    I could not agree more.

    That is exactly my plan. I have a mechanic friend who is going to give me the full run down on the engine transmission and we will go from there.

    Does anyone have any experience with this. It seems like this one is the most common option and also appears period correct (although our pattern was different to the picture). I am going to need to redo the seats but I was wondering if it would be better to just got to a local upholstery shop...

    That is exactly the stuff I am trying to learn. Thanks for such a detailed explanation. Very helpful. They are supposed to pick it up on Tuesday and delivered on Sunday. We will see if that timeline holds but once its here I can dig in and see what’s what

    Thank you. That is the type of information that I am happy to have. I simply don’t know when I look at something is it salvageable or do I need to replace it. Thanks again for the help.

    It should be a fun ride if nothing else. I am sure there will be a number of frustrations as well but I’m looking forward to it.
