The new whip, 1997 Suburban

[IRQVET]

Super clean ride, I can't wait to see what you do to it. . .

What was the final price, and how many miles???

Thanks guys! No huge plans yet. Like I said just debage and so on. I think it might have a crap muffler on it now, it has a K&N drop in. TYC headlights. And just the fact it is so clean with only 106,000 miles on it is even better. I can swap parts bewtween the two trucks also.

I plan an exhaust...cat back. A tune and maybe some bigger tires. This thing looks so short compared to the red one. I can't wait to sit them next to each other and grab some pictures. I think the ride height will stay stock for a while...maybe a little crank.

I am so spolied by my truck's drivetrain too. This one has plenty of power but I forgot how much a difference the 383 made in mine. Oh well, maybe this needs a 383.

I need a billet grill for the front too. Stock interior that is soooo clean I was shocked. The truck appears to be very maintaned. I am the third owner. The paint has blems but doesn't appear to have any new painted areas so I assume it's never been bent. Clean car fax.

I will get more pics when she comes home and gets the treatment.

looks good man...should be a nice family ride..

just a question though..have prices gone back up quite a bit in the past 2 years? I havent paid any attention. I picked up my 2000 for $6k over 2 years ago..


Edit- I guess it now blue books over $8k...damn prices changed lol

I was looking at 2003 burbans for 12K so they have come back up a little bit. I love the OBS trucks and now I can swap parts between them. It is just so clean we saw it and wrote a check. I needed a new project also. Sucks that it is winter time and I hate working on the truck when it is below freezing.

Very nice ride, I love the two-tone paint with fender flares on that body style GM

Sweet! Looks like a good truck. Suburbans are just such sweet rides, so comfy.

Well we brought her home tonight. Rides pretty well, has a little shake / vibration about 70mph though. Going to get the tires balanced, rotated, and get the alingment checked on Saturday.

Love the truck though.

Pulled the bug sheild off, mud flaps off, front lisence plate holder off. This weekend I am going to pull the pin stripe off, the emblems and then wax it real good. I also just noticed it has TYC headlights already.

Just ordered the entire Husky liner set for the truck and new billet grill too. I want to pull the trim of but not when it is 20* outside. May wait till spring for that. Where is a good place to get the 3M earaser wheels?

I will try and get some pictures of the two trucks next to each other, I forgot how low mine used to be....
