New Burb Owner

After saying on and off the last year or so that I was going to get a 67-72 chevy suburban, I finally did. So a friend and I drove up to KC after I saw this thing listed on craigslist. I offered him $900 for it and he took it. I had originally planned to trailor it back, but after the trailer I was going to use became damaged by a local Co-op, I decided what the heck, and drove it 300miles back to Perkins! Here are some pictures I took of it in the parking lot at work. It has a 350, what I think is a Muncie 4 speed, manual brakes, & steering. It's a 3/4 ton. It has some rust issues, the worst of it being the driver's side rear wheel arch, under & just behind the 3rd door. The pass. side rear wheel arch is in slightly better shape, and the floor on the driver's side where the 4th door would be need some attention too, but overall it is in pretty decent shape and is still solid.










The truck was orange from the factory and has since been painted green with a gold or white top.
Looks like a starting point, right?
