86 BBC Burban dually! Looks to be reasonably priced at $5500. The opinion is mine the truck is not.

I have this 1986 GMC Suburban that I am the 3rd registered owner of. I was going to restore as it is very unique. Former owner has installed a 1 ton front and rear suspension. If a person didn't know that they were not made this way you would not have a clue it was converted. Being a person that always has dually's this intrigued me and thought I would have fun restoring it. Life changes and so do plans. With that said since it is a nice solid rust free truck that no one has changed anything on other than the suspension it is a great restoration project for someone that enjoys these body styles.

It is as follows:
1986 GMC Suburban
454 ci. engine
Turbo 400 automatic transmission
Power steering
Power brakes
Tilt wheel
Cruise control
Factory clock (still keeps time)
Air-conditioning
Power windows
Power door locks
Factory split front seats with center console
Receiver hitch
New battery

The truck runs very well. The rearend is a 1976 with 4.10 gearing. Frontend is from a 1987 1 ton. As you can see the upholstery on the front two seats are bad as well as the carpet. The dash pad also has cracks from the sun. It has Alcoa wheels and the tires are fair condition.

The '76 / '77 camper units by Chinook were designed for half-cab Blazers/Jimmys. The seller tells me this came off a full convertible, notice how the half-cab part is glued to the underside of the cabover section. Some former owner did a li'l bit of engineering here.

I do love these Suburbans......

But I also live in the wrong country for them.

Here we battle to park a 3 series BMW in shopping centre car parks due to space constraints.
