Thank you
Long time lurker, and admirer of the burbs in this thread. I've been on the hunt for a clean square body, and just recently picked this one up. Wife and I rode the bike up, found a cheap trailer on Craigslist, and had a mini-vacation on the road trip back...~750mi.
Still getting some kinks worked out, and planning a few more mods, but so far...so good! Currently running a 6BT conversion, with a NV4500 and np205 t-case, on 4.56 tons.

Cool fine
Thanks, guys. I've been searching for one over a year. The cummins was just a bonus. 
I'll have to get some better pics, but here's the listing to the sale ad back when it was posted up on the portal. It's in the final stages, but still a project. Wish the interior and engine bay were as clean as the outside, but it's functional.

.New here, but a Suburban fan.
Here are the suburbans I currently have.
1998 GMC K2500 7.4 vortec SLT
1997 Chevy K1500 5.7 vortec LT (behind it's my 2001 Chevy Silverado Z71 5.3 vortec)
2004 Chevy Suburban LS 4x2
Did you swap a Silverado front clip onto that 'Burb? Nice, never seen that before!
Hi Martinjmpr.
I'm from Guatemala, Central America. That style of suburban it's a Mexican assembled (from 2004-2006) for the Mexican and LatinAmerican market, that we can buy in GM dealers. We can also get the US assembled ones. Basically that's the only difference, the front clip. Everything else it's exactly the same. I personally like this front end.

Ha! Interesting, I honestly have to say I've never seen or heard of that but I guess it just proves that saying from Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dream't of in your philosophies"

I know my wife thinks I'm weird that when we go to a foreign country I want to take pictures of the different vehicles that we don't see in the US. Am I the only "vehicle geek" that does this?
