New member from seatte area, Dont mind the 88burban in my name, used my old screen name from , other forums when i had an 88 burban. Traded the 88 for a camaro years ago but Got another one now.. 1986 3/4 ton project for hunting, offroad...ext..ext..

How i got it:
Lockers front and rear
Rough running in need of tune up.
Broken drivers window and rear window.
Shotgun wound in the side from some birdshot (just pellet dents)
Rotted headiner, cracked dash, quite a bit if rust and dents, wet carpet...

Had it 3 days and the front driveline decided to coome ff (assuming bots were loose as none of them were left broken on the transcase side...) it left a hole in the transfercase and the tailhousing of the tranny...sucks!

The plan for summer:
No carpet.. Bedlined floors
Waterproofing the wiring/axe and trans vents..and all other stuff
80 series yota snorkle
Quick, diy body fix and paintjob
Winch

Welcome. I would feel like the king of the road rolling around in a 3/4 ton burb with bullet holes in it.
