New Toy

[Pipeliner_86]

I picked me up a new toy this weekend!

A 1991 GMC Suburban, 3rd row seat and all, with a nice rebuilt 6.2L diesel under the hood. The biggest suprise is the SM-465 hand-shaker behind the diesel, with a NP205 case attached to the end. With a 10 bolt up front, and a 14 bolt in the rear, the driveline cant get much better than that!
What an awesome runner too. The 4:10 gears in the axles make for a lively driver. This is by far the nicest running 6.2 I have ever driven, and powerful too.....I'm pretty sure the 4:10's make it feel a bit peppier than one with 3:42's. It's pretty cool having a bolt action in a Suburban, and everything is tight and very nice...no rust either. Plus the rear window actually works, and works good! Here's some pics.

Nice looking Burb!!!!!! Looks to be in good shape and I like the bumpers, hope no one in a "tin can" pulls out in front of you, or read-ends you in traffic

Nice find!!!!!

I won't be able to make the rally in July
I am stuck on a special project here at work untill the middle of July. Right now I am working 10 days on, out of town and go home for 4 days after I get my 10 in. It really sucks being away from my family for 10 days at a time.

How did I miss this thread! I just knew that you can't stay without a diesel, and I have to say the coolness level of this one is right up there with the Bad Apple you had - awesome find man, I like it a lot! So what are your plans for it? Oh yah, this being a 3/4-ton it should have the D44 front, not a 10-bolt corporate, so check again as you may actually have an even better driveline that you think

Also, how's your schedule for the beginning of June? I missed you on my winter trip, but I will be arriving back in MI early June to help a friend move (his house is getting foreclosed on, or something like that), so I can swing by your place for some beer and that LSD Sterling you have in the marketplace... or if you're away on work I could catch you on my way out in late June.

Dang, I must have been out of the basement longer than I thought. When did you change your username Ivan? I don't know what my schedule hold for June other than I am home every other weekend.
Give me a buzz Ivan, we'll catch up.
