Welcome to the site, glad you found a rust free truck. They are quite scarce here. Is this truck road worthy?

Truck needs brakes, runs great, I'm thinking I should put a duel master cyclinder on it for safety ? Will keep stock drums for now ,has the stock 230? Six , would like to put power steering on it , here's the ???? I"m going to drive it ,so do I modifie or keep all stock ?

old55guy, boy, its great to know you can drive'em and work on them at the same time. Your a lucky man!

I know they make power steering kits for your model pickup. You may want to check the vendors as most of them carry them.

Around here we feel its YOUR truck and you can do what you like with it. However, if a nice original truck comes your way its nice to keep it original and find one that is not for all the custom work.
We do recognize safety issues should be address for sure....and some change to a bigger engine, add power steering, and change the rear end to a highway gear yet keeping the truck basically looking original. I think I fit into that category, especially seeing I drug home basket cases!

Be sure to drop by the garage forums with questions. The guys in those forums can give you more ideas, and opinions, than you can shake a stick at.

Old55guy;

Welcome aboard. I was able to find a complete/original (all except a 250 in place of the original 235) Suburban. I'm with Alvin. I think we have a duty to preserve a complete/original vehicle when we find one. Once you go through the suspension and brake components thoroughly, I think you'll find that power steering isn't necessary. A "freshened up" and well adjusted front suspension is not that hard to drive. I can't fault you for wanting a dual master cylinder. That is something I need to do on my Burb when I get back to the states.

Also, look at the banner on the left side of this page. At the bottom is link to the "posting images in the Stovebolt Forums" instructions. It does a good job laying out how to put links to pictures in your posts. Do that and let us see what you got.

Sounds like a nice truck. It would be a shame to modify such a stock truck. But then again its your truck. Have fun and enjoy it.

You struck gold with that one. Nice truck!! Get the brakes squared away and drive the heck out of it. I think you'll fall in love with stock truck.
