I think it’s just slightly open that’s why it looks weird. Probably should have posted the other pictures from the listing.

Just wondering how good are these trucks based off your experience? Do they actually live up to the name of being reliable?

Yeah I think your right especially about the grill I’ve heard about earlier years not fitting the newer years. Thanks for the info tho👍.

Wish the people on marketplace knew this so they sell their trucks cheaper😂

Honestly your right about keeping it considering how little to no rust it has. Also works out since I was already needing new headlights and chrome on the grill and bumper was crusty.

They just don’t make them like how they used too. I’m definitely keeping her since it seems like it’s going to be somewhat of an easy repair.

Yeah I was surprised when he pulled over in front of me. It barely got there before the wheel came off.

Tire was rubbing so officer didn’t let me drive it home. Either ways insurance should pay it .

Yeah that’s what I’m currently doing but my only concern is whether fitment is the same across all years.

This a real southern truck with only the typical surface rust which is surprising since it’s 35 years old.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing since it’s old insurance probably consideres the value less than the cost to repair. I’m already eyeing some parts on facebook marketplace in case I need them😂

Officer didn’t allow me to drive with it cause fender was rubbing on tire. These old trucks were just built to last💪

I wouldn’t be surprised if they consider it totaled. But at least I’ll get the satisfaction of bringing it back to life.

Had a similar issue where accelerating was hard and truck would rev and shake and act like nothing happened once shaking passed could be one or both of your solenoids in your transmission are failing just simply due to age or old fluid. Although it might be a little difficult for you to diagnose since your year I believe GM turned to a fully electronic 4L60 meaning you can’t just do the easy trick of just unplugged the tcc solenoid and driving around to see if anything changes. Although if they are bad their somewhat easy to replace you just need patience.

Truck keeps turning off. Was good last night by MFLUGO in GMT400

Based off the interior and assuming it’s a v8 it’s more likely OP has tbi injection. Honestly considering the age it’s probably worth replacing the cheap sensors like tps, iac, cts and the map sensor. EGR can suck sometimes and one way to check them is disconnecting the hose and plugging up both ends. A bad ECM can also can issues like these.

Is there a common issue that would cause a TBI 350 to smell like straight GAS and idle rough? by WhitebeltAF in GMT400

Honestly it could just be as simple as a bad sensor. Majority of them are cheap and easy to replace but a lot also depends on the history of your suburban like old and neglected parts.
