I'm selling my beautiful 1986 Chevy Suburban K10 with Custom Deluxe trim (the base trim that year...vinyl seats, plain door panels, rubber floor mat...easy to keep clean!). It has its original 350 4 barrel engine ('86 was the last year for the carburetor before computerized fuel injection arrived for '87), and the rock-solid 700R4 automatic overdrive tranny that doesn't have a computer (much more reliable than the electronic 700R4 that replaced it). It also has GM's wonderful and reliable old school 4-wheel drive system with manual-locking front hubs. It also has the rare "Trailering Special" package that means this truck is rated to tow trailers up to 7,000 lbs in weight...it has heavier springs, shocks, suspension components, and brakes, along with a massive 4-core radiator that won't overheat no matter what. It was ordered with all of the good stuff necessary to go off-road with skid plates under everything...it was built to survive a nuclear war. It was also ordered with power steering and brakes, A/C, AM-FM stereo with 4 speakers (note...original radio works but needs replacement), tinted glass, tilt-wheel, intermittent wipers, full gauges, large stainless exterior mirrors, front bumper guards, deluxe seatbelts, electric rear window, floor mats, 15x8 Rally wheels, 3.42 posi rear differential, exterior appearance group that included chrome bumpers and nicer side trim (note...current side trim needs replaced... available thru LMC Truck for about $200), and the lower paint was originally a dark silver metallic). The truck was repainted in the original dark metallic blue at some point in the past, and the paint is decent-to-good...there are a few minor flaws, but overall the truck looks very good. The seats and seatbelts are like new, and the rubber floor mat is decent, but the dash pad is cracked. All of the glass is nice with the exception of the back window, which has a lot of scratches (available thru LMC Truck). The only rust is behind the rear wheels on both sides (very small areas...see photos). There is NO rust-thru anywhere else on this truck. It spent its life in TN and NC, and only recently came to OH. The odometer shows 48k, and the title indicated 38k when I bought it...Carfax has no records on this truck. I'm selling it as 148k, but it could be 48k as it's so nice. The guy I bought it from found it at an estate sale in a small town in TN and said it had been sitting for "years" after the owner passed away. The engine has plenty of power, and the truck drives beautifully...it tracks straight down the road. The factory A/C needs a charge, and conversion to R134. The trans shifts smoothly...no issues, and has fresh fluid and filter. I also had the 4WD system completely gone thru and lubed and it works great...this truck will plow thru 8 inches of snow like it's nothing! The brakes and suspension have been inspected, it's had a 4-wheel alignment, and has new Gabriel Performance shocks...it rides beautifully and firmly. It also has brand new Firestone RWL Destination LE2 tires in the P265-75-R15 size, as well as a complete new exhaust incl. a new cat converter. It has a few dents, needs rubber side trim, and a few bucks spent on minor rust repair, but it is a ROCK-SOLID towing beast. I have spent over $3,000 to get the drivetrain reliable and replace the tires, shocks, and exhaust, and I would absolutely not hesitate to drive it coast-to-coast. I have never driven a vehicle that gets so much attention at gas stations, grocery stores, wherever...everyone loves this truck! It comes with the original GM keys (which have almost no wear), and the original owner's manual and warranty book with the original buyer's name and selling dealership. I will work with the buyer to help load it if it is going to be shipped, but the shipping costs and arrangements are up to him. I expect a down payment of $500 via Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the sale or I will relist it. Balance is due via cash or cashier's check, and the check must clear my bank before the truck leaves my driveway. Please call me at 614/769-5868 if you have any questions.
