'86 K20 Suburban

[bucket]

Selling my '86 K20 Suburban, would like to get 1100 bucks out of it. I bought it 2 years ago in VA and drove it home to Ohio, it was my wife's daily driver for those last two years. PO paid a guy to swap in a low-mile 350, turns out its a worn out '79 305. Runs good for the most part, but has a tendency to foul out the #3 plug and hot oil pressure is low (but enough to not cause trouble). It's a th400/208 with a 10 bolt front and a 14SF rear. SPID says 4.10 gears but I wouldn't be surprised if 4.56's were swapped in. It's a 9-passenger with seats and door panels from an '89-'91 (tan).

Bad:

Tired 305
Rusty rockers and front fenders
Block lift front and rear (sketchy and unsafe)
Tires need replaced
AC and cruise are removed

Good:

TH400/np208/auto hubs work perfect
Brakes good
Floors and rear sill solid
GM replacement tailgate (zero rust) at some point
Decent interior, power windows/locks all work
Recent torque converter
Recent 600 CFM Holley
Recent MSD street fire dizzy
Overall it drives very well
Frame solid as can be

All in all, it's a running/driving beater truck or a good candidate for a motor swap and a real lift.

If it was closer I would be all over that! Seems guys around me believe Burbs like that are worth at least $4K.

If nobody wants it, I'll just keep it. I really need to focus on the '88 Burb project, but it's hard to do with this one around too. Figured I'd offer it up in case somebody can give it a good home. I won't be posting it on CL.

Part out?!

Na, it's been too good of a truck to do that to it.

I hear ya. Selfishly, I just wanted the motor mount frame brackets, but I ebay'd them. This does look like it would make for a good dual purpose truck (daily driver/hunting and camping rig) with a little work. Somebody out there has a big block, or a diesel sitting around that they are dying to drop into a burb!

 

[bucket]

Yeah it would make a great camping rig. But I doubt I'll have enough time this year to stick a motor in it, too many projects going on already. Although I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 305 just keeps going.

 

[bucket]

Yeah, I want to keep this thing... it's just too darn reliable. I think it likes me even better than my wife. I'm glad now that nobody wanted it, lol.

Too bad you aren't in WI I'd probably snag her from you

Eh, I still gotta sell this thing. We could really use the money right now. I was actually going to sell the stepside (easier sell and a lot more money) but the wife told me no.

Link to CL ad with current info and pictures. Price here is still the same.
