The Red Wagon
02-21-2007, 09:21
Good Morning everyone! I am not new here. I have posted before under the name Stantjeeper85. I decided it would be a good idea to change my name to parallel with my newly aquired vehicle - The Red Wagon.
It's a 1985 Chevrolet C10 6.2L diesel Suburban. My father bought the truck brand new just six months after I was born, and it has now entered into its second generation of family ownership.
Stock for now (except for the paint job), I will be converting to solid front axle suspension this summer (not as difficult as some may think), and finish off the 4wd conversion (tranny, tcase, driveshafts) after I graduate college next spring.
The truck has about 238,000 miles on it. I'll rebuild the engine per the write up in Diesel Power Mag sometime within the next few years. I hope to put anywhere between another 250,000 - 750,000 miles on the truck before the original engine has to be replaced (that would be anywhere bewteen 500K to 1 Million total original miles).
Now for the photos.
