Hello, my name is David, i’m from Asturias, in the north of Spain.
I’m a very happy owner of two Chevy Suburbans .
I have a:
- 77 Suburban K20 Silverado, sbc 350, in very bad conditions.
And
- 79 Suburban K20 Silverado, sbc 350 too, in good conditions.
I’m working in this one now to pass the inspection here and can drive it.
First of all, I want to apologize for the bad handwriting. Sometimes i use a translator to write.
I will try to include some photos.

Nice on both counts, that 77 looks like a good starting point, looks like the climate has been relatively kind to it, could be much worse, like say abandoned in a warehouse in Toledo, Ohio for 20 years.

Joking aside, that retainer on the hubcap is something I’ve never seen before. Is that mandated where your from or just an extra precaution?

Welcome Spain. Nice trucks. I spent time in Spain working at the ASCO Nuclear station, I think we stayed near the beach at Hospitalet de l’Infant. It was always nice to see American cars and trucks on the road. Many were vintage and in fair condition.

Hello. the retainer and the rim are not OEM. I think because the OEM are in 16.5”, and here is very dificult to find tires for this measure. This rare rims are in 16”, easy to find tires.
My 77 has the OEM rins in 16.5”

I would like to find the oem rims in 16” for my 79.

More photos of 79.
I’m checking all wiring harness, rebuilding the Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel, new oils, filters, sparkplugs, distributor, spark plug wires, tail lamps, and cleaning all interior.
All original
