Hi there, Newb from Vancouver, WA. Purchased my first squarebody this weekend since I sold my '89 K5 in 1997. 1991 3/4 ton, 4x4 Burb.

Assets:

4L80e that shifts pretty good
full float rear axle (both axles from a '78 I've been told)
Paint and interior are serviceable
All power accessories work - all locks, windows, a/c (front and rear) etc., except Cruise
Bluetooth stereo
3" single exhaust, no cat. PO told me it didn't come with one factory, looking at emissions sticker I think he's right.
Cool looking flat black steelie wheels from a late model van.

Deficits:

No e-brake. PO did not re-engineer attachment between '78 axle and '91 cable.
Cruise no workie
Exhaust is really loud. Thrush turbo muffler - I may replace it with a Magnaflow.
Lots of dings, small dents and scratches. But it's been used as a truck.

Yep, '91 3/4 ton was the first year (and only square body) to use the 4L80e. Big asset to buying a '91 3/4 ton. But sounds like they're pretty "fun" to rebuild. :)

Damn, that's a sweet burb with all the good stuff. It disappears, I don't have it. :shrug:

JK, and I sure hope it doesn't.
