Thanks bro!!

I think it all comes down to preference! I prefer taking out the shroud in one piece, and the fan is easy enough to pop off with the shroud still on.

@@Mike_Brandl Oh Ok, I also realized I posted prematurely. He had sprayed the bottom of the radiator with rust prevention paint which he couldn't have gotten to with the bottom half of shroud still there. That is a very good idea and will probably do that to mine too.

I’m with you! I really dig the fitment of the Intros, but the Archers are just timeless. I’ll end up selling these Intros in a couple months and going back to the Centerlines

Me or the truck? 😈

Sorry, it’s sold!

Someone’s gotta do it

I’m always on the hunt!

I’m just glad you gave me the confidence to go when I thought I was going to get robbed!

Keeping them! I still love those dang wheels. They aren’t going anywhere 😂

Well good, happy customer!! Considered scooping them back up

Thanks Ernie! ❤️

Thanks so much man! Hate to see it go l but love to watch it leave!

Thank you! It really is a sweet truck. Drives incredibly smooth and strong

Dude! Loving the progress! Keep it up man, I know the out come on this will be cool as hell. Getting ready to paint mine in 2 weeks

It seems to be running and idling fine with no check engine lights after the TPS and IAC had a chance to relearn

That is a dying breed! All of the alternator and radiator shops around me no longer rebuild. Only sell new. It’s a real shame.

He also does AC lines...fun fact, he is good friends with Herb McCandless@@Mike_Brandl

Thanks Ernesto!! You know it!

Please lower it and throw some nice wheels on it I just bought a 86 and I’m about to build it

If I were able to keep it, it would be getting slammed on some staggered Halibrand Sprints. Unfortunately I think my wife would divorce me if I did everything I want to it lol. Apparently 6 trucks is “too many”! Now I’m just going to clean it up and get it dialed for the next owner to take it in whichever direction they choose.

Thanks Murph!

Thank you, sir! I don’t want to say how much I have into it until I sell it to the next owner, but I’ll say this: it would be a great deal if it was from a private seller but expensive for a junkyard!

I like your thinking! I have zero confidence in my abilities with doing that, but I can’t break it any more than it already is now!

I’ve been quoted ~$900-1400 for the rebuild

@@Mike_Brandl That was a few years ago. Yeah with inflation that sounds about right.

Love that old Square in that movie! Drove through the lava like nothing!

Thanks so much! I love these old Squarebodies. When I was a baby my parents had 91 Suburban from a coach builder with the velour buckets, tons of wood paneling, and a tv with a vhs player! It was a great truck. My dad said they passed everything but a gas station in it!

@Mike_Brandl interesting fact is that the 1987 model year. The C series 2 wheel drive became the R series. The K series became the V series. This was from 1987 to 1991. The redesigned C and K series trucks were introduced in 1987 as a 1988 model. The Suburban and Blazer would get a redesign for the 1992 model year.

You’re right. It’s a Scottsdale. I know the front buckets and console were swapped in at some point because there is a middle seatbelt receptacle on the driver’s seat. The rear carpet was also added after the fact because it has the vinyl floor underneath it.

Thanks dude! I’m excited to be able to drive it around a little. Hell of a score on your 85 at $1400!

@@Mike_Brandl of course man! I subbed! Definitely wanna see the turnout on this. Mine needs some help just as much as yours does. Ahhh the wooden headliner I have the same in my ‘85 right now 🤣🤣. My 700r4 works but she’s definitely tired… took it on a few road trips and just took it easy on the ole thing. Lucas transmission anti slip oil helped it a ton, pretty much a good band aid til I find some money for a manual swap or another 700r4 🤣. But yeah! Mines on my channel if you wanna check it out haha ✌️

Unfortunately very true. I’ll stick to my old rusty Chevy trucks!

@@Mike_Brandl yes sir. I just had to sell my 96 chevy obs. It was a 1 ton regular cab and 8ft bed, srw with a 454 and 4l80e, 4x4. Made me sick but it is what it is.

I’ve considered getting my friend’s t350 from him when he swaps to a 6.2/10spd in his truck, but I think I’d miss overdrive. With that truck my ultimate goal is to drive it cross-country to Dino’s Git Down, a massive Chevy truck show, in Arizona.

Our local school district mostly had 88-98 trucks and a few older Dodge vans. One day I found 7 or 8 of them all sitting in the junkyard being sold for parts. 4spd Suburban sounds super rad!

Yes sir!

The more I’ve been looking at it, I figure this one has to be an ex-fire vehicle.

While I understand where you are coming from, the only thing we did to get it to start was shown on camera: spraying starting fluid into the throttle body. With a booster pack it started after a few turns of the key. The “unbelievable”part was that we thought we would have to replace the fuel pump and the fuel pump kicked on after starting it on starting fluid. To go from a truck in unknown condition picked up from the junkyard to a running and driving vehicle in less than an hour is “unbelievable” because the purchase was a gamble in the first place, modern truck or not. I’m by no means a professional in anything, and I am still trying to remember to film whenever I am working on the truck. I will try to do better going forward. Thank you for watching.

What makes you think so? Title says 89

@vdub4201 Mike is right, it is an 89. 89 was the first year for the grille, headlight bezels, front blinkers, & emblems with those designs. It also has a trip odometer which was introduced in 88. 87 was the last year for the plain cab pickups with that body design, but the other models were still in production up through 91.

@@KevinRichards-rk3gp thanks for the good info!

@@Mike_Brandl 73 was the first year for those Chevy & GMC square body models. At the time, the nose on the front, interior, emblems, optional bodyside molding trim, & fleetside tailgate had a different design. Also not to forget the headlights were round shape up through 80 which was also the first year for square shape headlights which came standard on models with the Silverado & Sierra Classic trim levels & optional on models with the other trim levels. In 81, the nose on the front, emblems, optional bodyside molding trim, & fleetside tailgate were redesigned to the same styles as on that 89 except for the emblems, grille, headlight bezels, & front blinker lights which weren't produced until 89. The front bumpers on 81 - 82 year models had the same design as the ones on 83 - 91 year models except the ones on 81 - 82 year models had long horizontal rectangular shape holes for the front blinker lights.

maybe it was made in early1988 but sold in 1989, i know my 89 c1500 has the new dash but was made in 1988, titled as a 89 tho..@@KevinRichards-rk3gp
