They don't exist if there's no pics!!



Just kidding. They both look like very solid trucks, no much rust to speak of there. I know i'm jealous. Mine sure does have a lot of rust. If I were in your shoes, I'd snag them both up and make one nice ride out of the 2 and still have some spare parts left over. Any way you go though you can't go wrong.

Either would be nice. That Suburban is talking to me,though. Seems like a good,and perhaps rarer,find.

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

I'd love to have that GMC. Really just depends on if you want a truck or a burb. Both look like good projects.

Both are nice, but the Suburban would be my choice if I had to pick 1.

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

Either way... The burb sounds to be the best, as far as a running, driving truck. Also has a tach dash which is nice. Does it have title/registration, or at least non-op?

If you want buddy buckets, the CST sounds good too. Pull the seats and part the rest.

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

i would buy them both, keep the buddys and whatever else you may want off the cst and part it out (considering the buddys aren't in too rough of shape). looks like some considerably harder to find stuff on the cst if it is all there. but definatly but that burb!

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

The suburban is the way to go (offer less), you'll always get your money back if it dosen't work out, BTW, did you see the 2 sets of bucket seats for sale at the Arco?

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

I saw the ones that Krazy Ray sold for $600 but I missed the second set. What was the price for those. Well, doesn't matter either way... I didn't seem them.

The burb is on a non-op. Not sure what the status of the CST is. If I had to guess, it has some back fees.

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

burb sounds like the winner here.

back fees and paperwork issues are a nightmare. if you can get the cst for $500 or less, then its worth it for the seats...just be sure it at least has a title, or you will have a hard time moving it here.

is the same party selling both vehicles? might be able to work out a package deal for the pair too.

Re: looked at 2 trucks today, need opinions (pics)

That GMC looks to be in great shape, at least the interior does and the sheet metal. If I could get it cheap enough, I would buy the CST for the seats or to someday shorten to a shortbed Just my 2 cents. Good luck !
