Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

[Grit dog]

I had never been on FB before. Signed up as someone had recommended and was posting the same post to a few group and somehow managed to get myself blocked. I have appealed but I guess that takes time. I starting to find some on there especially in the areas you were recommending.

If you’re not on FB, a lot of the posts on the squarebody and other cars for sale pages are bs or scams. But it’s easy to tell.
I was thinking FB Marketplace as well.

No luck on the search for the actual truck but I was able to track down pics of my Dad’s original 1979

Do this. Closest youre gonna get to finding what is left of the pile of rust that used to be a daily driver 70s car in the rust belt for at least 25years. Sorry for the bad news.
Beautiful condition Square-body burbs are cheap compared to pickups. May even find the same color pretty common color scheme. If not, dad’s truck is only a paint gun away from reappearing.
Seriously unless dad hid a bag of diamonds in the heater core box, that’s a good motivation to find it. Lol
But they’d be gone because the heater core would have probably been replaced and the treasure found!
Lol
Pardon the sarcasm, but the chances that that rig is alive and its remnants haven’t been laid to rest in a junkyard or someone’s field are about the same as winning the Powerball.

Thanks for the recommendation I was able to get a copy of the sale order

Same color combo as our '79 Burb, ours had Camel Tan interior too but with buckets and console in front. Ours was also a 350/QJ/TH350 C10 Silverado. We went all over Texas in that Burb....
