Hey Gang!!

My name is Robert. My wife (Salee) and I have decided we want an old Suburban to restore and build.

We just moved to Pagosa Springs Co. We have a Toyota 4runner 2wd. We know we'll need a 4x4 and the suburban is our goal.

I look foward to picking your brains and viewing your photos.

Welcome to the Chevrolet Forum! Depending on how old, I'd get a Suburban with the 454. Talk about torque!

Welcome Robert. Want to look for one in a larger city (they never use the 4 wheel in town and sometimes park in the garage too). Out where you are, they run the crap out of 'em and pawn them off on new arrivals. At least that's been my experience. Nice of you and Salee to join us.

Welcome. I think almost any one of that age is going to be used and abused.
