I my found my '90 GMC Suburban SLE 4x4 V1500 in 2004 at the local Goodwill Donation Center with 225k on it. Peeling paint, passenger front door caved in, flat front tire. It was love at first site. I had it repainted, and there are towing/transmission/performance things hidden. Otherwise, it's as it was, when sold as a dealer demo with 10,000mi on it (at time of original sale). I'm the 2nd owner. Original engine. Original transmission was rebuilt for the first time at 235k. It has 306k on it now. While my daughter was in high school, it logged a lot of hours and miles hauling members of the cross-country and track teams all over the state, and had quite a reputation among those athletes.
A couple years after being repainted:

Nothing special under the hood other than the Edelbrock manifold, modded TB, and the long 454 radiator and fan:
