Classic Car Overview
This 1988 Chevy Suburban Silverado 1500 is a super nice, super clean, very very well cared for squarebody that has been owned by the same person for the last 30 years. This vehicle spent its life in the State of Washington so it is a clean and solid truck. You dont find them as nice as this too often. This Suburban was his pride and joy and went through a body on restoration both mechanically and cosmetically. Since completed it has not been driven very much and it is in beautiful condition. We have many receipts for the work that was done to this rig and it is dialed in nice and done right. As stated earlier, the body on this Suburban is super clean and straight. The original colors were Charcoal Gray and Red, but it was professionally repainted in its current color of red and the paint looks fantastic. It received all new body moldings at that time. The original chrome bumpers are excellent. The underside is also in beautiful condition and you cans still see primer on the floors. We fond no rust issues with this vehicle.
The interior is also excellent. It was totally redone a few years ago. The first thing they did is remove the interior and apply sound deadning to the whole inside. All 3 rows of seats were professionally reupholstered. They added new carpet, new headliner,new dash bezel, new door seals, and new weatherstripping. The dash and door panels are original and nice. The headlights, taillights, brakelights, and turn signals are all working. The gauges all work. This vehicle has tilt wheel and working cruise control. It has working power windows and power locks. The horn and windshield wipers work. The heat and AC work with the AC being completely redone with all new parts and charged recently. The stock stereo has been replaced a a nice aftermarket unit with flip-out screen.
Mechanically this Suburban is amazing and it runs and drives awesome. The last owner who restored this vehicle and owned it for 30 years did a ton of mechanical work to this rig to make it fresh. He rarely drove it when it was completed because he had so many toys. The engine is a GM Goodwrench Performance 5.7L 350 V8 TBI Crate motor that has around 5,000 miles on it. We do have the receipt. It had all components added to it like alternator, starter, power steering pump, distributor, belts, hoses, TBI unit, fuel pump, radiator, and dual Flowmaster exhaust. It runs excellent!!! The transmission is a completely rebuilt 700R4 Automatic that shifts great. It has a mild shift kit, HD clutches, new torque converter, and HD transmission cooler and fan. It is mated to the np241 transfer case that was also rebuilt and resealed. The 4WD works like it should. We did not get receipts for the transmission and transfer case because his friend who owned a tranny shop did that for him. It has a 10 Bolt rear axle with 3.73 gears that was rebuilt. It has a 10 Bolt front axle with 3.73 gears that was rebuilt. All 6 shocks were replaced...this has the 4 front shock setup from the factory. The brake system was also completely redone with new master cylinder, new front calipers, new pads, and new rotors. The rear brakes were converted to disc brakes and are all new as well.
