So I now have the opportunity to pick up a 2wd 1990 Suburban. It is currently drivable, however, the body is rotted quite bad in the back. So much so that in order for the previous owners to utilize the back door, they had cut the top of the bumper off to provide clearance. Clearance which is now gone because the body has sagged even more.
Here are some pictures:
Parts retained for the K5 include:
- TBI 5.7L engine and full wiring harness
- Tilt Steering Column
- 2wd Steering Gear box – for future cross-over steering setup
- Full dash, firewall, and all A/C components – for a future swap to add A/C and the later model dash
- Front doors – good doors with minimal rust and full power windows/locks
- Center console
- A portion of the rear bed floor if it is still in salvageable shape.
For my Chevelle, I will be keeping the recently rebuilt 700R4 transmission
The rest of the Suburban will be parted prior to finally scrapping it.
