Paid $500.00 1985 GMC Suburban C2500 454

If you are towing, then those aren't bad since they hang out a little--easy to see around a big load behind you.  I just don't like the tripod look of those brackets.

I put these kind on my '79....

I like that look also. Where are they available?

[Lt.Del]

got a salvage yard anywhere near you?  I bought a set from autozone or someplace and they rusted in a year and looked terrible.   went to a wrecking yard and pulled these from a donor for about $10

Great deal! I bought my '85 K20 Burb last year for $500. Had a blown head gasket. So I went through the motor, trans, and transfer case. About $1,600 into the drive-train now. + the $500 it took to get it. Still have to rebuild the steering, u-joints & ball joints in front axle, brakes, and slap a quickie paint job on it. Plus the non-essentials like big tires, lift, etc. I still feel I got a good deal, due to nothing but a little surface rust, an almost completely non-hacked wiring system, and a near perfect interior. But I'd have jumped all over your deal yesterday, with mine still sitting in the garage. Nice find!

I'll give you $700 for it...    Good deal, just do something about those 2 ft. long center caps.

Thanks,  but I think I will keep it !!!

I'd keep those mirrors you have on there if you plan to tow. Or, someone on here used '09 i think heated power towing mirrors on their truck, with a custom machined tube on the original 80's brackets. I'm partial to tripod and/or west coast mirrors myself...
