Babe: The Blue Ox

[rubberbandit]

Suburbans run deep in my family. My Dad grew up with a 1974 and wanted one for his own family so he got a 1979 with cruise control, rear a/c, 3 rows. We took so many trips and Sunday drives in that two-tone squarebody. I have many childhood memories with that suburban. Being a father myself I decided to purchase a suburban for my growing family. In 2012 we purchased a 2010 suburban but it was totaled a few months later by a drunk driver that ran a red light (photo below).

We've since purchased a Tahoe but I still wanted a suburban again. I've been on the lookout for a patina'd 67-72 suburban for some time but if I do find one it's very rusted and/or costs a fortune. When this gem showed up on craigslist it was near my house and has been a desert truck it's entire life, and thus rust-free!
