My '53 Suburban
Hi all. This is '53 GMC Suburban. It was bought new by the US Army, the the Colorado Forestry Service used it for a while. It's bagged, four linked, 350/350, blah, blah, blah. I now live in Central Arkansas. I just wanted to do an intro. Great site, I look forward to doing a lot of reading and maybe putting in some helpful input if I can. Thanks.
