When you decide you want a 3/4 ton 4wd burb, there doesnt seem to be a fair deal in sight? When you are not looking for one, you are tripping over them?
just a normal part of life I guess.

I just picked up a 3/4 ton burb 4wd, unfortunately the previous owner converted it to half ton lol.

So what is a "good deal" on a 3/4 Ton Suburban anyway? I'm toying with the idea of parting with my vintage 70's collection

converting to a half ton? I will never understand people.. ugh.

a good deal is subjective i guess. The burbs I have found are either nice, but want unreal money for, ie 20k or they are piles of rust. for me a good deal would be in the 6-10k range that is mostly original, an in good condition. not requiring thousands to make it functional.

now i have been on the other side, after spending 6k fixing something and finding out that the market says it is worth 2k.

Ugh it is really frustrating. By the time I find one the winter will be over and the main need gone for the year. Oh well I'll hold out for what I want
