New suburban
I am looking to buy a square body suburban to be a family camping/travel vehicle (not a daily). With 4 kids we have outgrown the k5 before it even could get finished! I’m hoping to go look at a 1991 2500 this weekend. Any suggestions on what to look out for?

Re: New suburban
Not really, I have a 91 and converted it to a 3500. Went with 1 ton axles and got rid of the RWAL brake system. Other than that, look it over closely for excessive rust since you're in that part of the country and of course seeing how the previous owner maintained the vehicle

Re: New suburban
Found this 1 online. Not really looking for a big project more of a start using it and make repairs/upgrades as we use it.
Thought on it? How much would you guys pay? https://youtu.be/cxJ_rJRMMSs?si=j-mp1_QWSuPCGmtn |

Re: New suburban
Still haven’t found the right 1. I plan on going to look at an old forest service suburban that is from California this weekend. My preference is a base model 1/2 ton 4x4 - I want simple: crank windows, front bench and vinyl. 2 questions: do the base model trucks have the holes in the floor to add a 3rd row? Also is rear air necessary/if so is it something I can add myself? There’s 6 of us = plenty of hot air!!
