About This 1986 Chevrolet Suburban
HIGHLIGHTS: 5.3L LS V8 engine swap with over $13,000 total invested! Fuel-injected reliability! 4-wheel drive! Classic rally wheels with 31-inch off-road tires Nice original tan vinyl interior Rear barn doors for added utility Recent brakes, shocks, and U-joints Proven long-haul performer with round-trip from NC to SD! BODY OVERVIEW: This Suburban wears the character of a life well-lived. Despite some rust in the rear quarter panels, as is often the case with squarebody trucks, this Burb is a great candidate for a light restoration or as a super cool driver as-is. We like it because it still turns heads with its honest, rugged presence! The barn doors add a touch of old-school practicality and charm that collectors and drivers alike will appreciate. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint is aged but presentable, especially for the care-free driver this truck was built to be. As shown in the photos, there is some patina, imperfections, and surface wear, but no need to fear taking it off-road or through a gas station car wash! Its not a show queenits a real-deal driver, built to be used, not babied. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The tan vinyl interior is a highlightclean, inviting, and comfortable. Its not showroom fresh, but its in great driver condition and provides a retro-cool atmosphere. There is some sun damage to the dash and tops of the door panels, but nothing that detracts from the overall vibe of the truck. The classic Suburban spaciousness is all here, with room for everyone and everything! Tastefully dark tint on the rear windows adds a touch of privacy and class. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this Suburban is miles ahead of stock thanks to the 5.3L LS V8 swap. It fires right up, runs strong, and cruises confidently. Recent maintenance includes brakes, shocks, U-joints, hub maintenance, and more. Its been tested on long highway drives and is ready for more! Keep in mind, the LS swap did result in some non-functional original gauges, and theres no A/C currently installed. The steering also has a bit of that classic squarebody wander, which may benefit from adjustment or replacement of steering components. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: Reliable, powerful LS engine that transforms the driving experience Vintage squarebody looks with upgraded guts Honest driver qualityyou can actually enjoy it without worry Tons of recent mechanical work already done ($13,000 worth!) A Suburban built to be used, not pampered! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: Its not restored or show-perfect Some factory gauges are inoperative due to engine swap No current air conditioning Steering could use dialing in for optimal driving comfort DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Some attention to the steering system for improved road feel, and new gauges (or adaptation of originals) if you want all the original instruments functional. A/C installation if desired. Otherwise, its turn-key and road-ready. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Perfect for someone seeking a classic Suburban with modern drivability, who values function over flawless paint. Someone who wants a classic truck, with modern reliability, without the wallet-emptying price-tag. This is for the enthusiast who wants to hit the road, not just sit at shows. Whether its a weekend adventure rig, family hauler, or daily driver with attitude, this LS-powered K10 is ready to rollscratches welcome!
