WTB: GMC/Chevrolet Suburban
#1
I am looking to try to get into a Suburban. Here are some requirements:
C10 body style, or Squarebody (in other words, definitely nothing from the 90s or later unless you just think its really effin' awesome)

4x4

3-door would be cool

Barn doors cool, but not a deal breaker

I am not looking for a basket case. If it's a project that's 85%, or well done but just lacks the paint job or something, that might be acceptable. I'd prefer to find one someone has already put a nice lift on with wheels/tires - not a monster truck, or slammed, like i seem to be finding everywhere.

Here are some pictures of ones I like:

and change out those green panels.

I actually saw both of those. I love the white one, but it's not 4WD. I briefly googled how much it might cost me to do a conversion but lost interest. The black one would definitely need to have the panels swapped, and I also think it's not 4WD. And to be honest, I dont know if I want a 500HP version. Mostly going to use this for winter trekking and maybe something to take on bird hunting trips.

Regarding price - not sure yet what's a reasonable range. I think I am going to be selling my 7.3 truck to fund most of this, so probably 15k or less would be good.
