Project Parts Hauler
 

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

Relocate the PMD and enjoy, looks like a fun truck.

You mean project zombie apocalypse right? :lol:

I think it was worth the 1000 bucks I paid

Congrats, how many miles?

191k

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

Ahh, so its a detroit NA diesel right?

Yes sir

Was a little dark out when I got home so I didn't take any full pics but here is some progress I got done in about a half hour. shoulda took a pic before I removed the grille but I didn't think till after

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

da faq is it pink?

The Grill was....Truck was female owned. Mechanically inclined female owned. So she girled it up a little. The truck it self is flat black

What kind of girl drives a diesel powered 91 Suburban with an open exhaust?

I said the same thing

^ titanium ovaries right there.

Grill is painted and back on the truck

Well driver side head gasket went so it looks like I have some work ahead of me

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.
