because i want to buy a suburban off a guy for $300 and he says its an 80 but i didnt think the 80 had the curve down body style (b) but wasnt sure, so i figured id ask

I think the '80 had square headlights...but I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure it has the square headlights too.

get the vin number and you can find the year from that.

good idea, i hadnt thought of that

damn image server....

when i get the vin what do i do with it? i dont remember :X

carfax.com would prolly be the best bet on finding stuff out about the car...

teh Google is a wonderful thing :)

square headlights
is that an 80?

the one i looked at has the same front end as my truck (exibit B)
so what year did the round headlight go away?

I'm not positive but i think 1980 was the first year of the square headlight.

where did you find that cj?

i looked at the registration today...its an 80, i think it has a grill kit or something, because its not quite like my truck, but not the 80 style...but for $250 i cant really go wrong, even though the engine knock LOUD...im thinking about getting a student loan and rebuilding it (in a garage this time, not in the yard...but my other truck does still run after rbuilding it in the yard :x)

Ok...with the signed title resting in my pocket...the objective has changed...


i started it today for the first time...

it runs rather well, sounds like its missing, but about once every 45sec(more random) it makes a lous clank like somethings catching on something...i dont know if its a rod or what, but i plan to take the intake off and find out...ashton...the journey begins...AGAIN :x

but its a hell of a lot better than my truck...
so for $250 I'm pretty happy with my new project...and it has a recently serviced TH-400 :D

but the main problem is that i can only come up here and work on it on weekends...whenever mom well let me use her car to come up here...
