"Babe the Big Blue Ox" '80 big block Suburban

[Jesse J]

so about 3 months ago my friend Aiden ran his 87 suburban into a pole totaling it. Since then we have parted it out and today we picked up this one. 454 big block with an edelbrock carb. Bought by a plow company as a backup so it has spent it's 65,xxx miles either sitting or plowing. A couple problems with it, the rear glass doesnt roll down either seized window, bad motor, or no power. And the front leafs are bent the wrong way. has a 12 bolt rear but we might swap those because of how rusted the studes are we will see. This thing is dusty af so hopefully we can detail it tomorrow. Plan is, swap the front leafs, then carb rebuild, then hopefully maybe axel swap.

yesterday got it mostly vacuumed out and wiped down. Then put some stuff on the dash and door cards looking way better now. The interior is basically perfect except for the headliner. And we put it next to the jeep and holy smokes comanches are tiny. Got the back of the seats wire brushed so rust isnt actively falling off. Got the rear glass mechanism out and un siezed so the tailgate drops now. doesnt go all the way down due the the crushed rear bumper but we might put the bumper of his old truck on it, provided we can get the bolts off. Also replaced the fuel filter and tuned the carb a little and it's running way nicer now
