Re: Latest Addition 61 GMC Suburban
Nice Suburban. Pictures bring back memories of my 65 Suburban, and my 65 Chevy II 4 door in the same picture. My Nova was the same Cameo Beige.
Congrats on .the new addition

Spend a little time and $$$ (new tires to start) and make it just a dependable driver to haul 1/4 scale RC airplanes for now. Prob be sold a little later --- got a paint job to pay for on the frame off '66 Chevy Suburb before too long....

Thanks Billy! We had a great time meeting you, and a lot of fun driving down there and back!

It's got it's own spot in the garage now, and it looks like, from your other posts, that you've lost no time replacing it

Re: Latest Addition 61 GMC Suburban
I noticed in the 61 that it had the hold down plate holes for the rear seats. I thought GMC's used the teack system.

I've had GMCs both ways --- kinda like having a Chevy with Leaf springs... for some reason they came both ways..
