My '95 Suburban K2500

[92K3500SRW]

I bought this as a default. Spring of '14 I retired my trusty '92 K3500 SRW and was getting by with my '85 Jimmy and '72 K2500. Winter (salt) was coming and I wasn't finding the pickup I was hoping for. This is my work truck (carpenter) and the suburban fit my needs. Low miles, no rust, 8-lugger that can haul and tow. I bought it in Marietta, GA from the Cobb Co. gov't. It was a sheriff dept. k-9 unit. Base trim Cheyenne for gov't purchase. Notice no roof rack. 350/4L80E/4.10 w/hydroboost brakes, posi, and a/c... simple.

First two pictures are the day I bought it in GA. All I did was privacy tint, dual exhaust, crank up torsion bars, and swap the 255/85-16 Coopers on from my old '92

Congratulations. I like it!

Those truck were equipped with the "Everything you need, nothing you don't" philosophy.

I bought it in Dec '14, so going on 8 years as my daily driver/work truck. It's been very good to me, been a lot of places with it. I work and play out of it. I have a twin size air mattress that fits nicely in there for camping out. Most of the time it's full of tools and working for me

Nice Burb, I like that you're keeping it working!

Glad to see you over here on this site! Lots of good info. I don't spend as much time on 67-72 anymore.

Those tires just look right on there-

No idea how I missed this! I've got pics of this thing saved on my computer! I loved browsing everything you had on 67-72; your trucks have given me so much motivation for both of mine!
Not to mention the influence of wanting a tailgate/hatch burb over a barn door Suburban

I guess I faded away for a while. Thanks for the kind words. I joined here since I'm a dedicated GMT400 fan, yet not so strong on all things service with these "newish for me" GMs. They were designed and built so well, I drove them for decades without learning much about them. They just ran and everything worked.

In case anyone is interested, the tires are 285/75-16 BFG A/Ts mounted on Ford/Accuride 16 x 7s. The torsion bars are cranked a bit and nothing on the rear done. I was taking pictures of a building I saved and the 'Burb snuck in on me

Cool shot, those square body caps look sharp on there!
