I am new to the board but love square bodies and I am restoring a crew cab 4x4 and this suburban at the same time(ouch!$$). I found this burb on an auction being donated to the Purple Heart Foundation and then sold at auction. It is a one owner with 34K original miles, and has been sitting since around 2004. The interior was extremely clean when I bought it but it must have been dry rotted because the front seats split soon after. I did replace brakes, injectors, tune up, fuel sending unit and pump and cleaned lines. It runs very well!

I just had it soda blasted and we are in process of repainting it white in next couple of weeks. I'll start posting pics of the process.
