After reading the posts of the freebie Suburban I finally got my clearance to post. I am also a new Suburban convert and I've got a 1965 Riviera too.
I'm constantly cruising CraigsList, and this time it paid off. Posted with NO pics was a 1966 Suburban $800- I quickly made arrangements to check it out and was very surprised to see a pretty decent recent runner. Last on the road only 4 years ago. Guy was brokering it for a friend that had moved away, so he only knew a little about it, but did show me that the steering wheel was not connected to the steering box! He also said he could not get it started with a new battery he had. Well, long story short, this is my new 'Burban at my shop. ![]() Someone didn't torque the steering coupler spline bolt tight enough and it ate out the inside splines - easy fix with a nice one from the yard for $5. I got it started after tightening connections and putting in a known good battery. Now she starts, runs, turns and stops like she should - Took about 2 hours of playing around to net a fine cruiser. She still needs lots of details done, but I'm quite happy with it. The Previous owner added the earlier grille, I kinda like it, but I've got a '66 grill to fix up and customize a bit before giving it a try. Dan
