    Nice build bro! Is your Burb's 4 speed the original tranny? I've only seen a couple factory four speed Burbs, rare and cool to see!!! Looks like you and your family have a lot of fun with it, your pics make me jealous of the amount of space available in a Burb! (Also jealous of the beautiful area that you get to go wheelin in!!!) How do you like those extreme AT's so far?

    The 700R4 4 speed automatic has been available as an option in the suburban’s since 1981. But it was not very common until 1987/1988 when it became the standard transmission for the half tons and optional for the ¾ ton. At the same time as when they switched over to EFI (TBI).
