An introduction...'85 K20 Suburban

Good morning all. I bought my first Suburban and am awaiting it's arrival here in Cartersville, GA. It was a southern Cal truck it's life and seems to be rather clean. It is a k20 and am told it has the FF 14 bolt in the rear. It is said to have 80k original miles though CarFax says it is 180k, I don't always believe CarFax but more times than not they are correct.

First order of business is to see why it has a miss at idle. Seller thinks it maybe a head gasket between cylinders. It may just be ready for a new one. Though it doesn't smoke or burn oil.

2nd will be a slight lift, 2 - 2 1/2", via springs. Followed by wheels & tires. Will be something in the 33" range.

From there I hope to be able to have a repaint in the spring and then enjoy the rig for the next few years while upgrading and playing.

Below are a couple teaser pics but you can see more here in my photo albulm.

Ron
