MohannadA, Good looking tank! I have to ask...... how bad is that thing during the summer in black?? I have been to kuwait in the summer (military) and it's a HOT that cannot be imagined unless experienced!

1985 K10
I had the 69 Bronco Sport, but our family outgrew it, so it's been replaced with the Burb. It's an 85 K10, pretty run-o-the-mill compared to the awesome beasts you guys have! I bought it from our county Rescue Squad: three bench seats and 99K miles. I've had it close to a year: big ideas- little funds! Looking forward to doing things to it over time.

Thanks Larry. I don't have pics, but I'll get some next time I'm in the squad building. If I'm not mistaken, that truck has less than 30K on it! The lighting is playing funnies with the color- it's actually white. It's the "pride of the squad", at least the squad captain anyway.

that's an insanely clean looking burb!!
One of the older squad members told me it had been with them for 22 years before I got it. It's been kept inside and maintained regularly, because of the nature of its use. They used it mostly to pull their boats and bring supplies for rehab at structure fires throughout the county (I first saw it when we were fighting a structure fire). I'm fortunate to have a place to keep it inside, too, plus I have a case of OCD that won't surrender. We've taken one camping trip, several state park trips, and hauled our Christmas tree with it this year. I love everything about it- except the mpg's!

1968 Delivery 4x4 deluxe
This post got me reminiscing about my old Sub. I built it in the early 80's, GM never made them this way back then. Started with a retired commercial 6 cyl, 3 spd., 2wd, barn door delivery. Swapped in every H.D. 4x4 1 ton chassis part and deluxe suburban interior option I could find. It was stout and comfortable. It was a fun hunting and fishing RV and it took me into many remote places in the West. Sold it in '89.
400 V8, 400 auto., 4.56 gears with L.S. and locker, 40 gal. gas tank, all power options, even dual A.C.

Wow.. Great work. That thing looks and sounds great! Sad to hear you sold it off. Very nice nonetheless.This post got me reminiscing about my old Sub.

Here is my (mostly stock other than grill guard) 99 k1500. This is a very, very slow build! Plans are 3" body lift, go through suspension, off road lights and some "jerry cans" to keep me going!!
Could not wait on mods, so we went camping last yr at Silver Lake Dunes in MI
Had to take burban into Dunes!!
only mod so far

Photos of my Suburban
All these great examples of Expedition Suburbans have inspired me to post some of mine. My father always had trail ready suburbans and blazers since I was in pull ups. Mine is a 2002 2500 8.1. Superlift braket lift, Eaton tru trac, Fox reservoirs, compressor, winch, duals batteries, custom skids, HD hood, reinforcements and lots more expedition necessary items. Here are a few pics I had on my phone.
