Well without pictures or price its a little hard to comment on the deal...
Suburbans are far less common than the pickups and panels, but you see more Suburbans than Canopy Expresses. I own two, both a bit rusty, only one is a driver.
I love them and drove my '55 1st to work today. I paid less than $4000 for it, but would not sell it for twice that.
Don't pay more than you can afford, but don't be afraid to pay what it takes to get one you like. Just don't buy it thinking you'll be making money on it. If you do there are better and safer investments out there.
