What would you guys choose?
 

I am considering buying another suburban(sold my '89 a couple of yrs. ago), but I can't decide if this time if I would rather buy another tbi(87-95) or go with something older that has a carb. I liked the driveability and the one belt system of the tbi, but it was a pain to drop the 40 gal. tank when the fuel pump went out. And I like the simplicity of the carb(block mounted fuel pump, no sensors), although tbi seems simple as far as fuel injection goes. What would you guys buy? Thanks for any suggestions.

the older the better is my choice

I know where there is a '69 3 door suburban with an LS1 and 700R for $1,800.00, pretty darn straight vehicle, about 200-225 miles from you

i had this discussion with my dad (40 years experienced technician). It came down to this i said them new motors would be nice in something you could drive alot he replied they drove them every day cross country back then to. (can't believe i said that i have all carb engines beside one)I believe in carbs especially Q-jets and properly set up they do just as good and are super easy to fix like you said fuel pump especially and what just a few wires:lol:.
i love the older sub. too;)

Yes, I think I like the easy to fix part the best. In the 28 yrs. I have drove 67-72 trucks, they have been to a mechanic once. And I don't consider myself a skilled mechanic.
