Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

Titled in NJ back in 2003, may have been the last time that it was in one piece after 24 years on the road in that rusty country!

Unfortunately that’s the conclusion I came to as well. I was able to confirm that it was never salvage titled in NJ but after that it was all dead ends. We will move forward. Just like the $6,000,0000.00 man “we can rebuild him”!

If I remember right I think one of the reasons my dad sold it back in 1990 was because it was starting to rust then.

Truck got delivered today. Once I dig in and start to get the trash out of it and cleaned up a bit I will share some better interior pics and ask for some advice if you don’t mind.

I started to clean it up a bit yesterday before the EAGLES big win!!! lol Sorry I am not sure how to add more than 5 pics at a time. It is pretty rough but for $3,000.00 that was expected. I will post a few more times with the remaining exterior pics and then some interior as well. The issue I am having at the current moment is for whatever reason when I shift into second gear it is stalling out. Not to mention there is something definitely wrong with the exhaust because thsi thing is so stinking loud. The neighbors are going to kill me lol.
