It’s a 1977 GMC Suburban, 350, with a 4-speed transmission, and little to no exhaust. Still needs winter tires because this thing slides everywhere on Baldini’s. What do want to know about it, Oppo?

It says “LOW JAX GARAGE” with a picture of a slammed frame, the previous owner painted it. Not sure if I’ll keep it or not

I’d love to get another. I had a 4x4 91 GMC with captains chairs front & middle row.
My virginity is in the middle of that Suburban if it’s still around.

I’ve always wanted to make a cruiser out of an old Burb. Something like this, but less flashy.

I thought so - didn’t look like a 4WD hub on the front wheel, but I wasn’t sure. 2WD more fun in snow anyways. And a 4 speed! I loved driving these things, but haven’t driven one with a stick.

It’s a riot! Although I could do with a little less slidey-ness. For instance, sliding into a car at a stop sign would be bad.

DUUUDE I love the Blazer, I wanted one when I was looking at this, but then realized that I wanted the extra seats to bring around friends and their junk.

Oh totally, I love the Suburbans as well, but I’ve already got my ‘06 Sierra crew cab with six seats and a pickup bed. I also love the more curvaceous front end of the early Squarebodies like yours. Any rust?
This is the one with a manual, it’s an ‘84.
I’m also going to try and look at this ‘79 which is located in the same direction. It’s got a plow, which I’d love to have, but it’s an auto.

Those are SWEET. Yeah it’s got some rust, but nothing scares me anymore. The frame is nice and so are the floors, only problem areas are the wheel arches and a couple spots on the driver’s rocker.

That’s not bad at all. The ‘84 needs rockers (replacements included), not sure about the ‘79.

Apologies for being That Guy...but the GMC always seemed badge-engineered so you could say, “I was totally OK with paying more for the exact same vehicle”
So, school me...?

The GMC *was* almost always the badge engineered option, a vehicle with pretty much the same options standard as the mid-level Chevy package and slightly more than it (typically). That was the joke - that a GMC of any trim level is automatically better than even a top trim Chevy... even if it isn’t.
At one time (by which I mean the late 40s) the GMC had a whole bunch of extras like stainless steel parts, fancier transmission/heater options, etc. etc., but GMC has been trading on that while offering a differently badged mid-range Chevy for a very long time.
