Re: suburban ideas???

I like the burbans myself,just got 3/4 under mine. Is there a pretty good bit of rust under the doors?

Re: suburban ideas???

yeah looks to be. i haven't seen the truck in person yet. they talking somewhere in the neighborhood of $600-700. i want to flat black the lower and upper section to make it a two tone rat rod. probably make $1000 on the resale. this is kinda what i do now a days started out looking for myself but i run across too many deals not to pick them up.

Re: suburban ideas???

I know those wheels really set it off, two tone paint would help too, but prolly
just cleaning it up and getting it running good will help it sell faster than anything else.

Where I am it's hard to sell vans, Burbs and Blazers, everyone wants a pickup.
I was thinking if I ever got another Burb I would make it into an Avalanche.
Who wouldn't want a 4 door short bed truck?
