It's an '89 Suburban 1500, 350 TBI, 4x4, auto, air, pw/pl, gray cloth interior, 150,000 miles. It's got a 4" lift, 35" BFG MT's. I took out the 1/2 ton axles and replaced them with a 14 bolt full floater rear (4.10's), a D44 front, installed new Warn locking hubs, I switched the rear leafs to 3/4t to raise the rear, and installed a shackle flip so I didn't have to use lift blocks, the front also has swaybar disconnects. The front driveshaft didn't reach anymore so I had the local 4x4 shop make me a longer one. The front tires rubbed some so I took a sawzall to the fenders and trimmed them up some. I put headers on the motor, dual exhaust with flowmasters, no cats, and checked the compression, the motor is in great shape. I also have a set of zero rates for the front laying around for whoever buys it. I started the build then got sent overseas in the Army and when I came back I put serious hours into it and got it where I wanted it and then 3rd gear went out and it had to park. With my shuffling around in the Army and the transmission having problems i've only put a few hundred miles on the truck since i've owned it. So the tires are pretty much new. There is some rust on the rocker panels but that's just character. 
I've moved out of my 4x4 phase plus now I don't have any use for one, I moved. I've put a lot of hard work into this beast and more time and money than I care to think about. It breaks my heart but I know i'll never use it like it should be.
Make me a cash offer or i'll trade for a running hot rod or old car of any sort.
Here's an older picture of it. The wheels are black steel now. This picture was before I swapped to 14bff/d44. I can go over to my folks place and get new pics if anyone wants to see them. Thanks guys. I hope someone can fix up the tranny and use the hell out of her.
