1988 Chevrolet Suburban Budget Transformation! Fresh stance and wheels for the old squarebody Burb!

I picked up this 1988 Chevrolet Suburban Scottsdale package locally. It's super dry for our climate and it runs and drives surprisingly well for what it is. But since we can't leave anything well enough, lets make it our own and get it a little closer to the earth and address any issues along the way! I'm getting attached to this one and I've got a TON of labor into it thus far but I'd let it go in the as seen condition for $6,500. If you don't like the price, move along! As always, thanks for watching!

Ah, memories. I remember when my mom bought one in 88 brand new. It was our family’s first brand new rig. I was 10, and she used to let me drive it around the ranch. One day it rained like mad (I think I was 13 by this time) and my buddies and I took it for a rip around the property when my mom was out and got it stuck. She got home before we finished digging it out of the mud and she was pretty pissed, but part of our punishment was to detail it when it stopped raining, and we absolutely loved it! Hahaha

@@mwilliamshs Just for example, I have a 49 chrysler that was stored inside in a drafty building (edit) in Portsmouth, VA (end edit) with a concrete floor from 1979 until 2006. I towed it down to Southwest GA in 2006 and it was stored for 10 years in a storage unit here... in 2016, i was forced to relinquish the storage unit and store the car outside... now it has surface rust all over it because there simply isn't a constant, or even sporadic, wind enough to dry the moisture quickly enough... nevermind the heat of the sun... that obviously isnt enough in this area. There are days and even weeks where the wind doesn't blow at all and the dew takes most of the day to burn off.. In Norfolk, VA, there is almost always a 10 knot wind from the Nor'East, despite the salt water proximity.

Looking forward to maybe a part two.

Do I miss it? Truth be told, I do miss the technology. The one thing I do not miss is the people, who only get hold of you when they want something or it is broken, they are always in a harried rush and take it personally when their computer throws a rod because they screwed with it or ignored the computer's equivalent of an oil light for six months and who, no matter how much you show them your expertise in many areas, will always describe you as someone who "works with computers".

[@billdavis1730]

Always enjoy learning from you and Duff! I once drove a salvaged electrical fire square body suburban 500 miles with a melted instrument panel with speedo bouncing between 0 and 100 like a clock pendulum. I did get a little shiver with the frame axle notch. Instead of a 4" pipe cut in half for a 2" high notch, consider a 6" or 8" pipe cut for same 2" high notch. This will create a slight crescent shaped/tapered notch. Also, if space allows, consider extending your "notch tube" outboard of the frame rail, welded inside and outside, as well as extended below the rail, welded top and bottom. The slight taper and double fillet welds could help minimize stress concentration and strengthen notch.

[@mwilliamshs]

Extend the pipe beyond the frame, so it's wider, and weld it inside and outside. How is access gained to weld this pipe *inside* the frame? Welding outside the frame on the body side and in the middle isn't easy but it's logical. Welding *inside* the frame...you gotta explain that

It's funny how people come on here telling this man he should have done this or should have done it this way end of the story he got it done and it's driving without falling apart great content sir

Parts Manager for a CDJR Dealership been doing parts for over 20 years love it everyday

Definitely a nicer than average looking rig that you found there. I agree with you, the white side mirrors definitely go with the white steel wheels, but if you're going in another direction for wheels then it'd just depend on what you chose. Not often you can find running and driving from the 80's that isn't some serious $$. Great video, really enjoy your channel.

Absolutely love how this one came out!! I've been looking at an 87 'Burban for a little while, this video made me pull the trigger... Thanks man!!

[@MortskeRepair]

Right on!

Awesome burb, I commented last week about the e brake wrench trick and told you about 2 of five of my trucks, the Gasser and obs show trucks, I wanted to tell you about the best job to get probably in America, I work 4 hrs a night at a mom and pop's style pizza shop I deliver pizza in my 2000 BLK zx-2 4x4 s-10, 2 dr. Blazer and a lifted square Cherokee, with a snorkel. When those break big red, the 87, tbi 454, 2wheel long bed comes to save the day.. part time job, no alarm clocks, I made about 49k I figure last year.I can work all day long at home then go get 100 plus in tips.Since the Coco virus I haven't been selling the vehicles, it's kinda like d dealer doing there own supply. I'm an addict, I love Chevy trucks.... VOTE 4 DUFF...

I never forget my tag light. I live in a college town, and run a trash route from 2-9am. 80% of the time cops follow me literally until I pull through the gate. It sucks...

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks Gayle!

Takes me back to my days working on a Land Survey Crew. You could actually get those as work trucks back in the day.

[@Markwellknifeco]

I had an '88 3/4 ton 4x4. Fuel injected 350 with the 4 speed auto. Passed everything but the gas station! Would climb about anything too. Used it as a hunting rig for years. 2 gas tanks and enough room in the back to sleep 3! Miss that truck.

Private school headmaster, more like a 6.5 day week. I love to work with my hands for relaxation. So I build sail boats and Windsor chairs. I’m trying to learn some wrenching. Best Regards Mortske.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for watching and commenting Mark

[@frankdodson3534]

Another helpful teck tip stick a half inch extension on that diff fill plug and use a open end wrench on the other end of your extension to remove and replace the plug?

[@JamesWilliams-vs2od]

I like the white rims and the white mirrors! I had a 1 ton white 90 suburban that had white wheels and chrome mirrors. I miss it since it’s been gone. Wish I’d never sold it.

Friend in school had a Levi's Gremlin. 304 4spd car. Loads of fun.
