Lol. When I had my accident they would post pics of the new in stock crashes. Same freakin day there nothing like the pic. I swear people be spending the night there and just gut it all night. Cant belive how fast parts disappear. If anybody wants to see a magic trick go to a junk yard. You'll see things disappear so freakin fast.... btw finally got parts for my truck but the interior was gone

So, found a near clone of yours on CL in the OKC area: https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/d/norman-1997-gmc-suburban/7253126710.html

Man that turns me on lol. Love that color. Leather too. I'm a little jealous lol. It's funny how there always 97 btw

I'm honestly looking for a 2wd for daily driver duty, since with my unexpected relocation, I'm now driving nearly 500 miles a week. As much as I freaking love my K2500 Burb, I'm now thinking a half ton 2wd would probably be very beneficial for fuel mileage reasons. I really don't care if it's another Burb, a Tahoe/Yukon, or a ECSB C1500. I'm even ok with a 305. But I just can't really see myself leaving the 400 platform. I have a list of about 4, maybe 5 cars I would consider, but otherwise I want to stay 400. Because 400 for LIFE.

I think I'd lean toward an S10 if mpg is the goal.
