My 96 k1500 centurion crew cab

Sweet truck man! I think the best part of it all is that you actually found your truck years later. Keep up the good work!

I think I've seen the ad. I have thought about swapping out the dash and door panels as well. I just haven't found any definitive information on it. The 94 dash and door panels don't bother me too much. I wouldn't mind a newer center console though.

Another day of work on the ol' Suburban! Went to the junkyard with no luck.. seats are going to be hard to find. Harder than I thought. But, still made it a productive day! Pulled the rest of the interior panels out, pulled the carpet out, all trim pieces out, and the headliner is ready to...

Yea.. I found a temp/compass mirror today. But have no clue how to make it work, so I passed on it. I definitely am thinking vinyl floor now. I saw a few trucks at the junk yard with a vinyl floor and loved it. Thank you! That is my motivation behind it. It is rough.. but getting there.

Tomorrow I am going to the junkyard hoping to find some seats and some other odds and ends. Hopefully. I'm also leaning towards putting in a factory replacement vinyl floor, like what comes in the work trucks. I keep reading mixed reviews on bedlining. Is there a list of things I could find in...

A very good day! A lot was accomplished. Well on our way of stripping out the interior. All seats are out, center console is out, and seat belts are out. A lot of trim is out as well. Next is removing the rest of the interior trim panels, door panels, dash...

Ahh. Good to know! That sounds pretty identical man. Power system, bumpers, roof rack, sliders, winch, lights, 3" lift, 34's?, snorkel, etc. Adding a roof top tent would allow you to sleep 4, just from the vehicle (2 inside comfortably, and 2 up top comfortably). Then another tent or two if it...

Scored some newer Silverado/ Avalanche rims from Craigslist! Not a necessity right now, but I always wanted a set of these for the Suburban.

Yea.. water leak must've been bad. One of the things I am going to do soon is replacing all the door and window seals. Any advice? Haha. Oh, I've was told from a service tech that it had the travel package since it has the ginormous gas tank. Might not be an official thing.

A small lift might be in order. Haha. I have a long way to go before that though. 6" and 35's seem like the way to go.

Exactly man. I'm in Tennessee. Lots of mountains. What type if overland mods do you want to do?

Thanks man! Yea, I'm trying to find some seats. I'm keeping the third row seat, since it's in ok shape and sometimes hard to find. The seats are grey leather, but I'd be good with some nice cloth seats. And I'm jealous of the 6.5. Haha
