Nice time to bring it back to life keep it coming I wish my junk yard would do that they would have sent it straight to the crusher nice find can't wait to see how this turns out 👀 🍿💪
@@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 ✌️
Our school district had a dozen of these ranging from '78's-1989 might have been the newest, most ran the 6.2 diesel a few had 350's , i remember the older ones with the gas motors were 4spd on the floor.
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!
Nice truck here. A friend I know has a 1988 model. A two-tone silver and blue with blue interior with front bucket seats and console, it is fully equipped with a standard tailgate with an electric rear window defroster. The front end has the small quad headlights. His truck is from Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 and has the metric speedometer, kilometers per hour large, miles per hour small, odometer registers in kilometers. You got a great truck here, and best of luck to you.
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.
Need nickname it superman with that blue and red nice burban i also started a TH-cam channel as well Bigcountry96 just subscribed to yours anything old school i like lol
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.
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!
It’s not totally a base model as it has the velour seats and carpet in the back. Base didn’t come with a 3rd row had vinyl floors and seats. This looks more like cheyenne or scottsdale trim
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.
@@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.
@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.
@@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.
You should improve your editing. Imagine, all we saw was the wheel and the dashboard when you tried to key it until it start. We dont have any idea what's your old man fiddled to make it start. Thats a terrible camera work. Always mind your viewers, put yourself on our shoes. And the other thing, you keep saying its unbelievable that it start. Well, its not unbelievable. Its not an old truck. I can call it a modern truck. I saw a lot worse of" will it start " videos in you tube than this.
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.

Thanks man!
Nice score man! Got me a ‘85 burban back in April for $1400 gotta tell you I never driven a better car than these rigs. Does everything I want it too
Thanks dude! I’m excited to be able to drive it around a little. Hell of a score on your 85 at $1400!

Bobby again. I liked how you gave a little back history in the suburban.
Great video! Totally shocked to see how easy it was to get it running! It is going to be a fun project!
That's a nice truck, my brother. You should fix it, man. It's worth it Save from the junkyard.
Nice. Brings back childhood memories. ❤

Hi Mike, that is a sweet rig. Polish it and make a few bucks.
If you're broke, learn how to fix it
Love the burbs guy, gas went up don't seeum like you did ! Good find ! ✌
You should try to rebuilt yourself the 700R4.. It would make great content for a series of videos.
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!
That truck is solid nice😊
Hi Bobby from NJ. But a truck with a blowed engine and pull the trans out. Better yet find a stick truck and do a change over. It's not that hard.
Nice grocery getter for the little lady.
My buddy has one similar to that with the same interior/exterior combo. It was ordered brand new as a fire chiefs rig.
The more I’ve been looking at it, I figure this one has to be an ex-fire vehicle.
The Dante's Peak Suburban!
Love that old Square in that movie! Drove through the lava like nothing!
Fab rats, Paul might have one in his little storage yard????
Try out the VGG shine juice on the paint!!
Esa suburban se ven bien 👍 pero la pintura y en motor necesita una modificación y el interior

Lost 3-4 on my 87 clutch plates were fried. Rebuild was less than a grand at the time.
I’ve been quoted ~$900-1400 for the rebuild
@@Mike_Brandl That was a few years ago. Yeah with inflation that sounds about right.

It's easier to find a turbo 350-400 , you don't need the overdrive its only a .72-.75 ratio anyway.

Most these kids have no value in cars now days unless its exotic.
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.
Those 275/60r15 tires?
Yes sir!
cool burb.. but it is not a 89, maybe a 87
What makes you think so? Title says 89

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
