Re: Suburban and panel finds

I think that 90% of these trucks fall into 3 categories:

Under $5k: Major mechanical or cosmetic troubles that will require significant investment of attention/dollars to correct.

Under $10k: Minor mechanical or cosmetic troubles that will require some investment of attention/dollars to correct. Older restorations may fall in this category.

Under $15k: Unmolested, well cared for, original drivers, newer restorations, or highly modified personal builds.

Based on this personal rating scale, I'd say the truck you're looking at falls somewhere in the under $10k category. $11.5k is an asking price, but probably not a receiving price!

Re: Suburban and panel finds

Maybe I’m confused about this one in Portland. Didn’t it have rust in all the lower panels?

Re: Suburban and panel finds

there is rust, floorboard spots, normal stuff, but not too bad. worst rust bit was cut out by his friend that does body work, the friend passed away before he could finish.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZTmDMjGalI

some damage to the tight tilt colulm.. wonder if that part is available? the shift lever pulls right out.

temp, gas level, and oil pressure have separate gauges, dash gauges not working.

some wiring issues

needs paint, very soon. drip rails rusting but not bad

someone upgraded the rear diff.. dana 44 up front ,, 14 bolt on rear.

Ac compressor removed, but most of the other parts are still there.

Re: Suburban and panel finds

IMO it's a 7-8k burb. What I've found is 80% are 2wd and most of the 4wd's are 1/2 ton
so if you really want a K20 you'll have to patient and persistent and be ready to buy when the right one pops up.Don't drag your feet at all.

Re: Suburban and panel finds

I have a 72 K-20 project burb, that's been converted to half ton. My friend bought it many years ago as a driving project. He disassembled it, sold some of the parts off because he was going to do some "upgrades". He told me way back then I could have the 3/4 ton axels. I said sure, but they sat, and sat. Finally he said if you don't want these I have someone else that will take them ... Ok that's cool give them to someone else. I just didn't feel like dragging those heavy A things home lol.

Fast forward a bunch of years and now that project is mine ... Really wising I had those axels now lol.

Does that area of NV normally have a lot of rust? I was looking at a couple of 2000-2002 Chevy 2500 trucks while I was on there and didn't see much rust on them.....

Re: Suburban and panel finds

I live in Reno. We used to use sand exclusively. My old econoline was my daily driver for 12 years. About 5 years ago, they started with the pre snow brine solution. The rust is now in full bloom. It sucks

At $8,000 I don't think the panel will take long to sell.

Re: Suburban and panel finds

The yellow panel has been for sale for quite awhile. Looks much better in pictures.

"very little areas of rust bubbles on the truck, has no signs of cancer"

Weird I though rust bubbling and cancer was the same thing?

If someone is really really wanting a panel though it might be a good starting point if you can get the price down some. Heck I'm way over that much in my panel and its just a shell, that's why Ill most likely have it forever haha.

Re: Suburban and panel finds

70 Burban with barn doors $6000. Lots of commentary but no mention of the "Demon Rust"! Could be a nice rig for a good price if straight means no rust. Interesting addition to the classic white spokers. Plus a roof rack!

https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/...519837695.html

I HAVE A 1970 SUBURBAN AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES , VERY STRAIGHT, CHEVROLET ORANGE AND WHITE. HAS A 350 V-8 ENGINE AND A 400 TURBO TRANSMISSION. THIS TRUCK COULD TAKE YOU TO FLORIDA IF YOU WANT. SHE RUNS VERY WELL HAS JUST HAD 2000.00 WORTH OF BRAKE WORK DONE EVERYTHING REPLACED, HAS NEW HOSES AND BELTS, NEW ALTERNATOR, HAS HAD THE FAN MOTOR AND HEATER CORE REPLACED WHEN WE PUT THE NEW MANIFOLD AND EDELBROCK 650 CARBURATOR ON IT. DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT. THIS RIG WAS OWNED BY AN ELDERLY GENTELMAN NEAR TIGARD OREGON FOR YEARS. IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A BAG OF NICKELS TO IT ... THE SIDES ARE VERY STRAIGHT. IT IS A THREE DOOR AND HAS THE HOSPITAL DOORS IN THE BACK ... IT IS NOT A HATCHBACK.
THE PRICE IS $6,000.00 OR BEST OFFER CLOSE TO THAT. NO LOW BALLERS NEED TO CALL. IF INTERESTED PLEASE CALL show contact info ... my name is Larry.... please call no texts... I WILL ANWSER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THEN AND WILL ARRANGE A TIME TO MEET WITH YOU FOR YOU TO COME PURCHASE .
PLEASE... SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY.
THIS IS A VERY LOW PRICE FOR THIS RIG AS WE WERE ASKING 8,500 FOR IT BUT NOW NEED TO SELL FOR ANOTHER PROJECT . FIRST COME FIRST SERVED DON'T MISS OUT AS THIS IS A NICE STRAIGHT GOOD RUNNING VEHICLE. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Re: Suburban and panel finds

Check out the tail lights, or lack of. Wonder what it used to look like? Also wonder why the rear quarters look so different...

Re: Suburban and panel finds

I'm sure this one first appeared last May. (Post 259) No pictures were posted but those quarters are hard to forget. I don't remember it being shiny at that time. Someone else may be able to chime in. I would find it hard to pay $8500 for it with the rear end looking the way it does. But as the say location location location.
