whdude 0 #1 Posted June 19, 2011 I am new to wheel horse having been a farmall and john deere man for the past several years I decided to take a different approach on my next project and purchased a 1960 suburban 550 for $300 last week. I have already stripped and painted it as well as put new axle seals and a tune up on the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
