Suburban...

[idM1028]

Posting up auction links is a no-no, but has anybody else seen the Suburban that's up on fleabay right now? This thing is screaming to be made into an M1007.

The Red one covered in rust ?

 

[doghead]

I found a silver one...

 

[combatmech]

With a blue stripe..... The red one would be a good candidate.....

Nope, didn't see it.


Edit: Yep, now i've seen it. Ex-USAF
It would make a nice project.

Oh yeah the Red one is askin' for it....we're still talking about trucks...right?

 

[idM1028]

Yep, the red one. It'd be fun to have a M1007, but with school and all, money and time is tight right now.

Needs allot of work to clean up all that rust but it would be a good candidate as it is a government military truck. Just add the right bumpers, grille guard and shackles and you are set. I had found a 1993 J code Suburban, but it was 2wd and would not have made a good M1007 because of that. I would love to find one like that red one close to me, but where it is located is way to far to make it worth the expense.

I Known GM made a 1988 Blazer after the end of the CUCVs in 1987 that was just like the CUCV M1009, but slightly different. It looks more like a civilian Blazer with the added CUCV stuff w/blackout switches & lights. The data plate is the same as that red one, does not say CUCV, but has the "CV" in the make & model. I guess GM tried to keep the government vehicle carry all market, but seems it did not work out well.

Honestly, the rust doesn't look that bad to me. Especially when you consider they salt the roads around here in the wintertime. I think what people might be seeing is the red paint peeling off and the green underneath showing through.

A friend of mine just gutted a 6.2l with a 700r4 that he was given by a friend. He is completely redoing the interior. The outside is baby poop brown. The whole 1007 thing always sticks in my mind for it but he isn't as much of a MV guy but I have almost convinced him to 383 it a few times. He does want some 1009 bumpers for it.

If you are interested, let me know
