Definitely an 88. I bought it the year I moved to WI, which was 88. October
or November, as I got it shortly before Thanksgiving. The deer strike was on

Yup. Squarebody pickups are '73-'87. Suburban and crew-cab are

I use only the Sav-a-Life deer alert. These are made in Germany and
sold by someone in NYC, or sometimes available for less on fleabay.
They are NOT $10, and they don't make the bambi run, they make the bambi
stop in their tracks. I can attest they DO work at speeds over 40 mph
or so.

It’s a purely subjective thing. I knew people in WI that swore by them,
because they had never hit a deer. However, I’m not really sure that’s a valid

Beats me. Just a base model 1988 Suburban. You couldn’t get much more basic
than this one. They thought I was nuts because I didn’t care that it didn’t
have a radio.
I sold it a couple years later and actually made money on it. That was when I
