Just a note to say welcome to Parma Ohio. Home of the best, imo, perogies and yeah..That guy. Drew Carey too! We wont talk about that though!
Well, Short story on me and the truck. The wife and I are finally expecting our first child so out of the Fiero world I went and into the family vehicle life! Now not being one to settle on a mini van... I thought the Suburban would be a nice touch! So with a tear in my eye I traded a nice guy from the Columbus area for his 1989 Suburban. She might not be as pretty as the car, But after driving 200 miles home, she is starting to repair the hole in the heart!
As she is right now she will be needing two new driver side doors. (cant get them to release from the inside) Both rear quarter panels.(a lot of material gone from the slat on the roads!) I am thinking a tailgate.(It is all there but it looks to have a of rust issues! ) And Paint!(Who told these kids these days that black primer looks cool!)
The good part is she has an 1985 4bolt 350 that is tight. A rebuilt tranny and transfer case. A 6 inch lift(springs and shocks) 35 inch Thornbird TSL's in nice shape. Brakes seem good! There seems to be a popping noise out of the rear when I shift out of park. Maybe a U-joint. Hopefully a u-joint! Please be a U-joint!
Well, I have taken enough time up for now. I am sure I will be picking you brains in the near future. So for now, Welcome to all!
