Truck / suv craigslist findings week of 3/20

[Yaj Yak]

clean gmt800s are a dying bread though as well and will soonly go the way of the OBS trucks, clean ones are few and far between.

clean gmt800s are a dying bread though as well and will soonly go the way of the OBS trucks, clean ones are few and far between.

In this region they are, but, luckily they're still new enough where you can find nicely kept ones down south still with their first or second owner. Finding rust free and finding one that was meticulously kept up are two different things. Chances are, you can drive 500 miles south and have your pick of nice GMT800's, but the stuff that has age to it and not just salt is what's tough. Take my 1987 Suburban for example... Truck was minty, zero rust, etc. But the interior was roached and the truck was what I'd call in disrepair when I bought it. Hubs, transfer case, front/rear axle, tune up, etc etc were all needed just to make it reliable.

 

[Yaj Yak]

in my southern craigslist hunts beat to fuck gmt800s seem to be the norm lately albeit rust free.

For a DD, I'd take a GMT800 truck all day, because I'll find a decent one and not feel bad driving it in the salt. If I bought that 1999 Suburban, I wouldn't have the heart to drive it in the winter, much like my '87. That's why I don't go buy stuff like this. It's the immense redundancy that I own a 4x4 truck and store it away under a cover in the winter months as to not use it for its originally intended purpose.

that burban is awesome

 

[Outlaw]

No doubt. Honestly, over the past month or so my dad and I were trying to hash out a deal where he got my F-350 and I got the 2003 Yukon 2500. He's always subtly hinted that he wanted my Ford so I made him the offer to take over payments on it and give me the Yukon, as I've got about $6,000 in equity (roughly what I think the Yukon is worth) That would've been my DD but you bet your ass I would've been hunting for something nice, that's actually the reason I went and looked at the 1999 I posted above.

 

[Outlaw]

If I was going to do it though, something like this would be more what I'd be looking for. I couldn't give up a pickup. This is a friend of mine's truck.

[Yaj Yak]

right fucking now

 

[Outlaw]

Yeah, I know... When he posted that he got it I lost my shit. He lives in Peoria now and bought it down there, so I've never seen it in person. The truck is clean as hell and he's done all the right things to it. He might have been on here when he still lived up by us, I worked with him when I was in High school.

 

[Euro]

That is nice.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Maybe its the blue that doesn't do it for me. Like daturbosix's p/u.

 

[Outlaw]

right fucking now

He just finished a full leather swap in the truck too...

 

[Outlaw]

I love navy blue, but for some reason, on these trucks, my favorite color is the pewter like on the Suburban I posted.

 

[Yaj Yak]

my dad's 99 burban was that blue with silver on the bottom. that was an awesome truck.

 

[Yaj Yak]
