First post, I own a 88 R30 Dually, had the only one for years and years. In past week I found one other crew cab dually and a suburban dually that popped up in my area. Have owned this beast now for 10 years. Crew Cab LB, 454, 4:10 gears, and gets 10-11mpg. I believe it used to have a RV trailer with it. Needs a fresh coat of paint, and a new/fixed passenger fender flare. Experienced the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows. I could tell of countless crazy stories, memories, laughs, fun, along with a number of offers, and my refusal to let this truck be anywhere but in my hands. I love my sqaure and it’s been around and reliable I couldn’t imagine not having it. No matter the highest of highs to lowest of lows. I kept it, and it rode with me. Anyway just saying hi, currently working on fixing center console.

No problem I only got a
3 of the suburban. It’s down the road though. I will get more! 3300 bucks I told em go flip it in Ohio where it would go for at least 8k.

You’d all puke if you found what out what I spent getting my truck. Suburban isn’t mine, but it may become mine if one of wife’s friends don’t pick it up. The OTHER Dually I found is not the best looking and do not have pics of it. It’s got some rust and the dash is destroyed but it runs! Guy wants 3500 for it. But hell I’d take the suburban over that for as nice as suburban is.

Clean dually! Body is in great shape, must keeper out of the snow.
Since you’re hanging on to it, word of caution, my 86 had one of them visors on it for probably forever. My truck has zero rust EXCEPT around the windshield frame. It’s due to water leaking in those screw holes for the visor.
I’d remove those screws and seal the holes up good with rubber washers or something. Yours still looks good from the pics.

Grit Dog, yea I’ve already seen that. Someone had done that before I got it. Probably needs redone though. I’ve gotten lucky and only have 2-3 rust holes passenger rocker and some surface spots on whole truck. It’s never been garage kept, well for it has but not in a closed one. Hell my obs has way more rust! Figured I’d include all the fixing spots I need to get. As in fender flares need love for sure!
