1971 Suburban 4x4 Four-speed running, driving

1971 GMC Suburban K20

This survivor spent its early life as a work truck for Atomic Energy of Canada then a father-son team put a rebuilt small block 350 motor, new brakes and shocks in it before life got in the way and the Suburban got parked in a cow barn for years, and that's where I found it. The original Big Block engine has been lost along the way. I installed new Goodyear Duratrac tires, Edelbrock intake manifold, Edelbrock 4 bbl carb and billet aluminum HEI ignition and numerous little things to get it where I could drive this old girl every day. It always starts, even in the cold of a Canadian winter and with the dual heaters, it stays warm, too. It has a 6" lift and when in 4wd with the hubs locked, it has a lot of traction and is a blast in deep snow. It has a 12v air compressor and tank on board that is automated and keeps pressure whenever the engine is running. The air compressor has a quick connector and long hose for inflating tires and it also powers the air horns (which are very loud and awesome). It has not been exposed to much salt so it's more solid than most vehicles this old in the rust belt but it will need some panels replaced. I priced out the panels needed to get it rust free at http://www.lmctruck.com and it would take about $1100.00 and some welding. It has 4.10 gears, a 14 bolt rear diff and Dana 44 front diff. It shifts through all the gears really well and this particular model of transmission has an ultra low, non-synchro granny gear for pulling stumps or getting up a steep hill. I installed a quiet dual exhaust on it so it doesn't drone on the highway. The 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks have been going up a lot in value recently and this is one of the more unusual and rare models. I live an hour north of Pembina, North Dakota and can meet the successful buyer there. I did a walkaround video, see it here:https://youtu.be/1h2JzSJMA5o
