Re: 1988 Suburban R20 - Refresh - Looking for Ideas

Looks like a nice Suburban. Glad that you are fixing it up. It would help if you told us the story behind why you have it, and what you like about it, and what you intend to use it for. Truthfully, that will probably answer most of the questions that you've asked. The rest of it is personal taste which you can solve by looking at pictures and finding what you like. If I was to go down your list and tell you how I would do it, that would be specific to me. The next guy who posts on this thread will likely make different recommendations. But just so I don't leave you without any solid input, I will say that unless you need the functionality, I would take off the running boards. I think it will look cleaner and sleeker without them, but if you need them for access, then they should stay. Welcome to the forum, and I hope that you will keep us up on the progress with your rig!

Re: 1988 Suburban R20 - Refresh - Looking for Ideas

@LT7A - Thanks! I bought it as a family hauler and because I love the classics. My wife was in an accident recently (hit by a stolen vehicle). She's alright, but the car was totaled. (Bad because it was completely paid off and destined for my oldest for her 16th)

Long story short - Gave the wife my car and thought I would refresh Blue to make it my daily.

Always love to hear people's opinions, as it might make me think about an option I hadn't thought of.

"But just so I don't leave you without any solid input, I will say that unless you need the functionality, I would take off the running boards. I think it will look cleaner and sleeker without them" - Thanks LT7A, Just the feedback that I'm looking for!

Cheers

PS - Also have a 1963 Chevy Corvair Spyder Vert (Not a square body, but still in the family)
