I got this suburban mainly for the 1/2 ton 5 lug suspension for No buck. It looks to be lowered. you can see in the front it looks about stock height, but there is no engine in it.

It also has a tilt column, a nice grill and bumper, a good lower lift gate and a OK upper lift gate.

I'm wondering if it was originally a 3/4ton because it only has rows of seats, it has the outline of "Custom 20" on the fenders from badges that were there. I have to run the vin to figure that out I guess.

It has a lot of rust in the back behind the rear tires, and the front fenders are rusted away too. the rocker area and bottom of the doors don't look too bad. Not sure what the plan is exactly for it, but for now I'm stealing the suspension.

Eventually I want to put a suburban body on a 3/4ton 4x4 dodge cummins chasis, but this body may just be too shot for that. Don't know yet.

Oh, and I thought the suburban pulling a suburban was a cool shot
