I just bought this today. I haven't gotten it home yet but here are the stats and a couple pics from the craigslist ad

1991 V2500 Suburban
6.2L Diesel
Auto with overdrive
4X4
100% open True Dual exhaust setup, It is WAYYYYYY too loud so it will get mufflers of some kind.

All new parts replaced by the PO
brake lines, calipers, drums, pads/shoes, wheel cylinders, new front end, tie rods, ball joints, steering box, all 4 shocks, steering dampener, All new cooling system, water pump, radiator, thermostat, all hoses

It runs and drives great. It has Barn Doors in the rear. It's Spray Bombed black but I need to repaint a couple things due to a couple decisions on the grill and a couple other things (PO was a girl)

Came with a push bumper with foglights. all the wiring and the switch is there, just have to re attach it after I paint the grill and head light surrounds. As I do things I will post pictures and I will post some pics when I get it to the house. Hopefully tomorrow night

This truck is pre-PMD so no issues with that.

Truck is now at the house. Pics to come if there's enough light when I get home

I also took the gauge bezel off to re-attach the glow plug and water in fuel lights into thier proper socket so the lights actually light up where they are supposed to instead of dangling behind the bezel and lighting up all the gauges while the plugs were warming. Didn't take a picture of that. I was kinda getting annoyed. That Bezel can be a pain sometimes and the humidity was pretty high by me tonight....I was sweating like a pig

Dunno if the early diesels need em, but if you have the time/money, look into throwing ARP head studs in there.

Yeah I did. I really don't feel like pulling the motor to do it though.
