1984 Chevrolet Suburban 6.2l Diesel, Silverado Edition - Low Original Miles on 2040-cars

Up for Auction:  1984 Chevrolet Suburban, Silverado Package with a 6.2L diesel engine and only 59,500 original miles.

This truck does NOT have four wheel drive (4x4) or air conditioning.  This is a rear wheel drive truck with slip differential and a tow package.  Please read this listing thoroughly. 

Great condition for a 30 (almost) year old truck.  This was my daily driver till I recently changed jobs.  Solid, dependable, cool looking truck, that is huge and can haul your family or your gear.  Plus it is a diesel, so it gets decent mileage considering the size/weight of it.  I bought this off of the original owners (garaged its whole life), who apparently did not leave their town that often.  It required some work initially, replaced some original components/parts, to enure it could be my daily.  I have driven this from Boston to Ohio and back, sat in August bumper to bumper traffic, and started it in February (plugged in) and never had an issue.  It is a solid ride, not a show car, but a cool, reliable truck that gets many looks or people coming up to you to say that they used to have one.

Full Disclosure
1.  The headliner is sagging. I have held it up with strips of Formica.
2.  The radio cuts out sometimes, must be an electrical connection.  A slap on the dash gets it started again.
3.  Driver side rear panel has two paint discolorations in the silver/grey area. About 3" diameter each. Not sure why this is.  They have been touched up with grey paint.
4.  Driver side also has a scratch in the silver/grey paint area. About 2' long.  Touched up with grey paint.
5.  Overall the rust is minor for a truck of this vintage, and spending its whole life in New England.  Previous owners had a Rusty Jones undercoating applied when purchased, which is why it has held up this well.  No structural rust (frame, body, and mounts are solid), just mostly surface rust if there is any.  Except for passenger side wheel well there was a 2" hole, was treated and covered with a stainless steel patch.  Also the bottom edge of the 3 out of the 4 doors, only on the interior face (where it is compressed against the gasket when the doors are closed) had some bubbling and splitting due to rust.  I cleaned this out, treated with Rust Bullet and painted with blue body paint. 
6.  Due to the age of the truck, fluids need to be added occasionally, I keep an eye on the levels.  But that is too be expected.  The transmission has a minor leak our of the rear seal, where it meets the drive shaft coupling.  Has not affected the operation of the truck, shifts smoothly and appropriately.
7.  This is a 30 year old truck.  It is not new, it is not perfect, it is not a show truck.  But it is a solid, cool, workhorse that's in really good condition and can be your daily driver if you are kind and take care of it.   

I repeat this truck does not have 4x4 or Air conditioning.

The only reason I am auctioning this truck is because I took a new job 6 months ago which requires me driving 500+ miles a week and head into Boston quite frequently. Needless to say this is not the truck for easy city parking.  Please send along questions if you have any.

This truck is being sold as is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied.   I reserve the right to end this auction at my discretion.  Pick up and/or delivery arrangements are the full responsibility of the winning bidder.

Happy Bidding.
