Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Funny story... I have two wallets... one I carry, one I keep all my rarely used cards in...
For the past few weeks, every time my wife would ask me if I had any cash, I would check the one I carry and say "no". Well, today, since we were going to the Pediatricians office for the minions I grabbed the other wallet and handed it to my wife. While waiting in the room for the DR my wife is organizing my wallet and exclaims "Whoa! Babe! I thought you said you didn't have any cash!" (I am thinking she is messing with me) Of course I reply "I don't!" Next thing I know she is pulling a WAD of cash out of my wallet! Where the frick did that come from! (I still don't remember!) Well, needless to say, my senility bought me some much needed parts for the burb and momma a new double jogging stroller. So I already have a parts list for the next time I go to the Doctors... and some updates and pictures will be here tomorrow! |

I hope the reserve isn't too high. And if you do get it and need engine parts I have a V6 that doesn't run but is complete. Very odd engine if you study it close.

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
ok guess to just look quick and not read didn't pay again. o well.
|
Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Well it already went over my price range and the reserve isn't met yet, but, MAN! That color scheme ROCKS!!!! I am gonna have to do my research on it now, because I have never seen that silver (or grey) and that yellow (green?) together. And I know GMC had some wacky combos!

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
Not a 1 Ton, but it is a dually!
It is nice towing with a dually though! Especially with a Goose neck or 5th wheel! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_F...0/DSC00472.JPG For a height reference, that is me in the green jeans at 6'2"! |
