1991 'Burban Redo...Any Suggestions?

[CarDoc]

I just bought a 1991 Chevy Surburban 2500 2WD for $2k. Odometer is reading 150k, but previous owner replaced engine at 120k and installed a new tranny in her as well. She rides great. Body is straight (no rust and a small ding in the rear door). I was looking to fix her up. Any suggestions? Will consider anything that isn't too drastic because its the "Family Truxter!" I will post pics as soon as I can. Thanks for your ideas!

Hmmm....don`t want to put a lot in it since it is older.Maybe freshen up the interior with some redone seats,fix the dent and buff out the paint.Wheels and tires.Just some random thoughts.

Thanks Roktman! Just received a catalog in the mail today for ordering OEM replacement parts for my baby! Spoke to a friend who shoots and said that he could give the truck a new coat for a very good price. Now I have to shop for some shoes and "Cinderella" will be ready for the ball!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just installed a CAI last weekend, along with replacing the MSD ignition system, battery and starter! It was needed (used vehicle=overdue maintenance and repairs). I replaced the headliner (thanks local fabric store and auto store for the supplies to complete this task) about a month ago and now I want to replace the water pump, thermostat and serp belt. Don't know when it was done, so I'm just making sure that I won't run into problems down the road. I'm also planning on rebuilding my old distributor as a back up to the "used" one I had to isnstall for a quick fix.

the distributer if ur going to do that u should put performance spark plugs and wires cause u will save on gas and i used to have a burban and they like to eat gas but wen ever i buy a vehical that is one of the first things i do to it
