My "Bucket Of Burban"

Found a couple old guys rusting away in Portsmouth,Va.yesterday. They're sitting behind an abandoned grocery store. Both are 4wd, one being a 1/2 ton and the other 3/4 ton. Im trying to track down the owner today but Ive turned up empty handed so far.

Here's a pic of it when the previous owner had it. It was a city owned vehicle somewhere in Idaho.

Re: My "Bucket Of Burban"

they did not make a 3/4t suburban. that yellow one has had heavier axles put under it. it may even be a converted 2 wheel. the rear wheel wells have also been modified.

It would be awesome if you could snatch them up! Love the blue one! My next one is going to be a 4x4.

Someone majorly hacked the wheel wells on that yellow one, added another fuel tank also.
