New to the Suburban Family

[nightmare]

Hey everyone. Glad to be back after a 7 year hiatus. Just acquired a 72 Suburban and couldn't be happier.

Seven years ago when my daughter was born, I sold my 69 C10. You can't carry 4 people in a 3 seat truck. Anyway, the plan was to replace it with either a Suburban or a Blazer. Well, Blazers have been way out of my price range and most of the Suburbans I've seen needed too much work for the price they were asking. Stumbled upon this one, and while it's not perfect, it's a very good start.

For now, I plan on driving it as is. Mechanically, it's pretty solid, with a few drips here or there. Paint job is a good 10-15 footer, but will do for now. Has a new gas tank, radiator, and tires. Need to remove the plastic stick on vents from the hood, replace the steering wheel, recover the 2 seats in there, and find a 3rd row seat also.

I think I got a good deal, but thoughts on value? Enjoy the pics...
