Spartan part 2, Suburban build.
JR:
Figured A new thread is in order with a new (older) base Suburban.
Haven't got it home yet, but paid for and registered. No Smog!!!!
Took a few more pics and here is where I am starting.
JR:
The good;
Starts easy, not to loud or much rattle, hardly any smoke. NO SMOG NEEDED, EVER!
Hydro brakes from the factory.
4L80 transmission, shifts good, all electrical seems to work, even the windows but they need rebuilding.
4inch Lift, 33in tires, 2 are OK but no cord showing
Barn Doors, no rust, glass all good
The bad?
Door dent is a little worse than it looks and actually goes from the front door to the rear panel a little.
Looks like a home made turbo setup and still not sure if its a 6.2 or 6.5
Exhaust goes down through the right fender liner, then back and under the frame to the stock muffler, sure its home made.
No 3rd row seat (but I have one) No headliner.
Has a newer style receiver welded under the stock and will need to be cut off.
Lines cut off for the AC and the rear unit removed.
The plan;
Finish up the original Sub with parts from this (lift, tires/wheels, bumpers) and flip it, so I loose no $$$ at all.

Gotta admit that exhaust is creative in a Mad Max kinda way... :beercheers:

That was my exact 1st thought. what year is this again JR?
JR:
85 and it is a 4L80, so thinking it is a 6.5. Plus it has the vacuum pump below where the 6.2 was on top. Then again it has reg belts vs a serpentine system which says 6.2.
Working on ride to get it now, just an hour away.
