Question on a 84 chevy burban i found

[84CUCV]

not going to buy it or anything. just wondering. good deal thow. 84 sub, or at least thats what the title says. the only thing i can come up with is its a newer body on a older frame. i say this because its a BBC with a th400/203 and a 60 and 14b out back. i have never seen a 80s 1 ton sub. i think they were around in the 70s not sure. post up
thanks

Suburban NEVER came from the factory ever offered as a 1 ton. The front axle, and motor was swapped in. BBC's were never offered in 4wd suburban from 73-91 either for that matter.

a 454 is only found in 2 wheel drive suburbans?

4x4s got the 454 after the body change in 92 before that you had to swap one in.

Fire departments could order a true one ton suburban. I don't know what engine options they had.

That part is correct. In 1992, special gov't offices (fire, police, etc) could special order a 1 ton burb, but it was still IFS. But prior to 1992, no 1 ton burb existed from the factory.

I've got a friend with a 4x4 1978 K20 - he smogged it in Cali, and they're real particular about engine swaps (meaning I'm fairly certain it wasn't swapped).

4x4's from pre-1992 NEVER came from the factory with a 454, it was only offered in a 2wd burb. 4x4's couldn't even get it as an option.

Doesn't mean much, I see smog guys lose their licences all the time here because they let somuch pass.
Having it pass CA smog is no proof.

Just curious, what was the price of the rig?

 

[84CUCV]

1400, i thought that was ok for a truck with just about no rust ,but a few dents. you can drive it away

 

[desertrat67]

The axles alone are worth that. And it has a big block?!?! And it runs!!! Go find yourself 1400 bones and pick it up!

I don't know where in NJ you are in relation to my uncle, but I could probably find you a place temporarily if you really want it.

ok that would be badass. send a pm if you can find somewhere
