Hey yall, Little introduction post for the group. My names jon and im down in GA, and ive been around suburbans my whole life. Grew up in a 06 suburban that my dad bought as the first new car he had ever purchased and I was hooked since day 1 bringing it home from the dealer. Had and built it out myself and enjoyed it for years, but sold it to get my 1986 Silverado C10 suburban. I consider myself very lucky and got the truck with 74k original miles on the clock, and that is backed up by the spotless undercarriage and body and frame underneath, ill post more photos of that at some point. Truck was bought brand new in 1986 at Vaden Chevrolet in Savannah GA, I have the original dealership packet stuffed with orig paperwork thats stayed with the truck along with the factory original manuals, she came with the 6.2 na detroit in her from the factory, custom ordered two tone paint job, as well as towing package. My plans are to yank the junk 6.2 block (has several cracks in it sadly), perfectly good 700r4 Trans and front subframe and rear axles, and 4wd convert it myself in my driveway, and down the road when its the time to, 12v or 24v swap her with a Manuel trans behind it. I have a older sky jacker lift kit in it that I bought a while back off marketplace thatll clear 38s no issues, but goal is to make it the ultimate outdoor rig, and family hauler, I got 3 young boys 3 dogs and a wife so coming from a large damily growing up and having one now, I couldnt pick a better vehicle to do it all in. Stay tuned for the process, its little by little considering all things but ill be asking for help or sharing updates as I make my way along 🙏Happy new year and lets make this a great year.
