Project Suburban 1500 v 2500
Two different GMT400 Suburbans need some advice here.
1999 1500 Chevrolet 4x4 (first image lifted)
Bad:
Bad motor (bearing)
3 year out of registration
Good:
Good interior / leather
Lift / roof rack
Has 3rd row
$1500
1995 2500 GMC 4x4
Good:
454 motor / TBI starts / 51k miles
Bull bar / roof rack (probably worse mpg)
Bad:
Oil leaks / wet underside
Rough interior
Bearing noise passenger front tire
Seller can’t find a shop to do smog (not a major city)
Former LEO vehicle has running board brackets that are heavy duty like a tow hitch bolted through the frame - hopefully removable as it’s deadweight
$2000 (was asking $4k)
Seems like the ‘99 might be the better buy. If I had the room I’d buy both?
