| This truck is from Amarillo, TX. It is unrestored, original
and complete with 54,000 miles. It was in storage from 1969-1997
and still has the '68 plates and window stickers. Again, the
bed is immaculate save for a few scratches in the laminate. She has
the original 235/HD 4 speed and after I get the gas tank cleaned,
I think she will purr with little work. There was no rust except
the drivers side hinge pocket from accumulated mud - which is why
the fender looks separated in the drivers side photo. This
has been fixed and she is now as solid as the day she came out of the factory.
Current plans are to just drive her as is.
She has the original sand beige for 57 paint. I may convert her to
4x4 using a newer chassis one day in the near future. Nothing
too serious - just a good reliable work 4x4
with a modest lift. When I went to
pick her up, I had to go see the first owner because the current
owner had never changed title after it came out of storage
in 97. The original owner happened to still have the additional seats
sitting in the barn which they had taken out back in 58 or so. They
were almost mint. That was lucky! This is one
clean original suburban. ~Eric Pesci |
