Work truck suburban?

First I remember seeing. I think it was a West Virginia state roads truck. Had a vortec in it. Vinyl bench seat and rubber floor.

It was a W/T suburban that started my need for a gmt400. Ex-forestry rig, but I really wanted an open truck bed and at the time I knew my current truck was going to need a home after the motor was pulled so I held out for it.

Pretty neat truck. Looked surprisingly well taken care of and not rotted out. A rarity here in our mountains.

Yeah back when you could get a suburban or a pickup for a cheap price if you wanted bare bones for work.

I used to have a customer that had a couple of 98 suburbans. He was a carpenter and it was great for storage and tools. They were base models. Even the previous gen was good for that.

You could get it bare bones or go full jam with the LT model


Now they start at 80k cdn

Not common but they are out there. These are Burbs that were bought for the same reason as a lower trim level crew cab would've been...to haul people and gear for working.
Most Burbs in Texas are LS or LT, gotta go out to the country or West Texas to find the base models(equivalent to Scottsdale on the pickups). LT is like a Silverado, with leather seats, power locks and windows, nice stereo, etc. LS has velour interior and maybe not as many accessories, like a Cheyenne.

it is to bad they do not sell bare bones any more like they did in the 90s and back you can still get some pretty basic stuff but it just is not quite the same and now every thing is huge and ugly

This one is still in service for the County school district

My '98 was a W/T suburban until I made her a "going to town unit."

Then I went and made it even more of base model (More base then they ever came).

I take it that you swaped in the manual transmission seeing as I am pretty shore that no 400 suburbans ever left the factory with one
