1970 SUBURBAN "TEXAS" TRUCK...LOW RESERVE

1970 Chevrolet Suburban Description

1970 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN...TEXAS TRUCK ALL ITS LIFE! ORIGINGAL PROTECO PLATE AND OWNERS MANUAL. STARTED OUT LIFE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AS A TRUCK USED BY A FUNERAL HOME TO PICK UP FLOWERS AND DROP OFF TO FUNERAL HOME. NEVER A HEARSE OR EVEN EVER WENT TO CEMETERY. JUST A SIMPLE BACK AND FORTH FLOWER TRUCK FROM FLORIST TO FUNERAL HOME. WAS ORIGINALLY A RED/WHITE TRUCK UNTIL LAST OWNER DECIDE TO PAINT IT ALL WHITE. PAINT JOB IS NOT THE BEST BUT IF WET SANDED AND BUFFED IT WOULD LOOK REALLY GOOD.
INTERIOR IS DECENT. MISSING SECOND ROW SEAT AND FRONT SEAT NEEDS TO BE REDONE. PAST OWNER PAINTED THE INTERIOR HIMSELF AND IT IS DULL AND MAY NEED A BUFF AND POLISH ALSO. DRIVER FRONT FLOOR HAS A SMALL HOLE AND A COUPLE OF PREVIOUS WELD SPOTS AS SEEN IN PICS, REAR SECTIONS SEEM TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH MAYBE 1 OR 2 PINHOLES IN REAR SEAT SECTION. ALL ORIGINAL SIDE PANELS AND DOOR PANELS IN TACT EXCEPT FOR BOTH FRONT DOORS WHICH I HAVE PANELS BUT NEED TO BE RECOVERED. DASH PAD IS EXCELLENT. INTERIOR WOULD LOOK REALLY GOOD WITHA SEAT RECOVER AND SOME BUFF AND POLISH WORK.
EXTERIOR IS ALSO IN DECENT CONDITION. IT HAS WHAT LOOKS TO BE A MAYCO PAINT JOB AT BEST. ITS A 15 FOOTER. A WETSAND AND BUFF WOULD REALLY HELP THE TRUCK AND MAYBE DO THE TRICK. LOOKS AS THO ATLEAST 1 ROCKER PANEL WAS REPLACED BUT NOT FINISHED OFF BUT I PICTURED ALL 3. FLOOR PANEL HAS A COUPLE OF PATCH PANELS BUT NOTHING CRAZY. SEE PICS.
MECHANICALLY THE TRUCK RUNSBUT LIKE CRAP. HAS NEW PLUGS. I AM GOING TO TRY AND LOOK AT THE ISSUE BUT SEEING AS ITS AN HEI IGNITION I AM ASSUMING IT IS A TIMING ISSUE.....BACKFIRING INTERMITTENTLY. BRAKES PERFECTLY
BASICALLY THIS IS A GREAT START TO A KILLER PROJECT BURBAN OR SPEND A FEW BUCKS AND GET IT RUNNING RIGHT AND DRIVE IT.....ORRRRR CHANGE THE DRIVETRAIN, LOWER IT AND PUT PAINT BACK TO RED/WHITE AND THE TRUCK IS WORTH 20K.
CLEAN CLEAR TEXAS TITLE. RESERVE IS SET VERY LOW AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED SO BID TO WIN.....NOT MANY GMC'S OUT THERE.
