1993 Suburban (Savalanche) picked up for cheap and going to have fun with it!
I'm in!!
Nate forgot to mention a few things- we went to look at it on our way to a job so we left it at the shop and picked it up later. I kept the guy busy talking while Nate checked it out. We came back about 1:30 and the guy is drinking beer- I was jealous. We ratchet strapped the hood down and drove off. We had about a 20 mile drive, as soon we pull out I realize it has no working taillights or brake lights. We were told the suburban started life as an ambulance in Winterpark Colorado.
Might as well jump right on the highway.
Got an open weekend to knock out some work on the Savalanche. Thank you to @doubletrouble and his son Justin for helping out. We first tackled figuring out and getting rear tail lights working. Justin worked on stripping rear interior out and vacuuming out the inside. Jason tackled checking over the motor, writing a "To Do List" and removing the ac system and checking over front end. I fixed the RR window regulator and door lock. Justin removed coolant lines running to the rear of the truck. We now have a list of parts to buy and to repair. Coming along nicely I must say. Does anyone have a winch mount install idea or have a winch mount? I do not want a whole bumper nor the rough country winch mount.
I bought a Smittybilt winch plate and trimmed it to fit in my frame on my K5. It's still there and holding up well
Ridiculous. That’s a Nate truck if I ever saw one. I like the fact they chopped the barn doors down.
In for the insanity. Keep at it boys.

I still vote for 40's with no lift.
uhhhh - what airline is that advertising on your back door???
In for cheap fun!
Flying Dick.
I have seen a few videos of people using the harbor freight winch plate and mounting it to the top of the frame rails and mounting the winch underneath it. Simple cheap and easy I just wonder about the strength
Previous person chopped the top off due to it being in a wreck.
What max 02 said. Flying dicks
They would never fit and it would not last long.
We’re hoping to take it to BB this year.
Are you closing in the back or leaving it open? If open it needs half or tube or no doors. Looks like a lot of fun!
Looking for OEM front and middle seats if anybody local has some.
I have a blazer top and we are going to see if it fits some how but keeping it open
Are you going to bob any of the overhang?
