68 2wd suburban worth - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70burbulgy · 05-14-2002, 11:39 PM

Found a 68 suburban in pretty good shape today. Been setting for a while but is suppose to run good. No rust on body except right behind the rear wheels. Paint would shine up good. Interior is good but just orignal. No fancy options except power brakes. No dents except for in the GMC grill. 327 V8 4bl. All the trim and hubcaps are present. My main question being able to buy this cheap and really not wanting it could it be resold or tear it apart and use the body on my very rusty 70 GMC suburban 4*4. Is the demand there to sell this for good money and put it back into my other one. I guess I just think it would be a shame to junk it. I would purchase it from the orignal owner. Appreciate any thoughts

How much?

I don't want to be a wise guy, but why would you use the 68, which you say is virtually rust free, to fix your "very rusty" 1970 burb? I would think if this is the case, you would be much better off keeping the 68? If for some reason you do part the 68, I would be interested in buying the trim from the truck.

Just as a reference, I paid 700 dollars for a running burb in what sounds like same condition.
