1991 Chevy Suburban $6900 SOLD
Here is a 1991 Chevy Suburban 2500 for sale, this is not my personal vehicle I am selling it for someone. It was originally purchased by The University of Oklahoma where it served as reliable mode of transportation into the back county for students of geology and geophysics. Over the years it has only travelled about 75000 miles and was well maintained. Being from a dry climate the truck has no rust or rot, it still has its original paint and shows no sign of previous body work or repair. 1991 was the last year of the solid front axle so this would be the perfect truck to use for off road or expedition travel where reliability, durability and payload are top priority. The truck was purchased from the University in 2013 and is now located in Connecticut.
Drivetrain
The Suburban is equipped with a 350 V8, a motor that is known for its reliability and longevity. It is fuel injected which means that it will run smoothly at any angle off road and get better gas mileage when compared to the older carbureted versions. The transmission is an automatic with overdrive so cruising highway speeds will not be a problem. Another trait that makes this truck desirable is that is has a solid front axle, a huge asset for off road use, and being a 3/4 ton truck is equipped with heavy duty axles. There are no oil leaks although the rear pinion seal shows some signs of seeping. The drivetrain is in great shape with no known issues, it drives and stops great. It is equipped with air conditioning although it probably needs to be recharged. The tail pipe is rusted through at the back but the rest of the exhaust is original and in great shape. The tires are 235 85 16 and are at about 90% tread, the spare is still like new.
Interior
The interior is the base version which is an asset for off road use, it has manual windows and locks, basic vinyl seats and rubber mats which makes for a durable, easy to keep clean interior. The dash does have some cracks from UV damage and there is a 1'' rip on the front seat but the rest of the interior is in really good shape. The turn signals, headlights, taillights, gauges, wipers, washers, rear power window and radio all work, the horn and interior lights are not working. The truck seats 6 people and has a huge cargo bay for gear.
Body and Chassis
The body is completely free of any rot or repairs. The paint is original, it is lifting in a few spots and there is some light surface rust on the roof. There are minor dents on the passenger side doors and a small dent on the lower quarter panel, besides that the body is very straight. The frame has never been undercoated or repainted, even some original chalk marks are still evident. All rubber bushing appear to be in good shape. The windshield does have a crack on the right side.
This is an excellent vehicle to use for back country travel anywhere in North America. The truck comes with all service records and has a clear CT title.
