I know nothing about this sub. I just know how interested everybody is in getting their hands on a rare 3-door.

vectorit · 08-04-2009, 12:59 PM

I think that's a members truck?

BluTrukker · 08-04-2009, 02:39 PM

I assume by three door he means drivers,passenger, and the rear hatch? Whats so rare about that?

STOCKISH · 08-04-2009, 02:57 PM

Has a 3rd door on the pass. side. Not so rare though.They were all like that. At least all that I have ever seen.

JohnC · 08-04-2009, 03:00 PM

You had me worried there for a bit. I didn't think they were rare either, and I was about to head back out where my friend used to have one.

Has anyone seen one where someone added a driver's side door to make it a true 4 door?

Longhorn Man · 08-04-2009, 03:34 PM

frizzle fry added a pillarless suicide 4th door on his... it's bad ass.
That actually looks real clean for that part of the country.

I thinks he joking, if you look in the ad, the seller says "Rare 3 Door". Gotcha -

BluTrukker · 08-04-2009, 04:22 PM

I don't think its that clean, from the pics it looks like its all rotted out about 6" up the driverside in front of the rear wheel. But when you consider the how rare it is maybe thats ok

I hear that all the time with mine. I can't help but wonder where the idea of this being "rare" came from?? I gave up on correcting people that all the Burbs these years came that way...

Even here in California I hear it all the time, about three weeks ago while pumping gas in my 72 Cheyenne, some guy who looked like he just paroled asked me if I was interested in buying a suburban? I kindly replied no and said thanks anyway, he quickly stated that this one was very special to him and that it needed to go to a ''good home" and he would not sell it to just anybody, he then leaned very close to me, and whispered that it was A "Rare Three Door". Well I immediately looked around both ways, like to make sure no one was whatching, and whispered back slow " They Are All Three Doors" no thanks.

Skirkpat · 08-04-2009, 05:54 PM

I don't know, the first one I had was a 69, It only had two doors....

I sold it because someone welded up all the windows in the back with steel "panels".....

Must have been special ordered!! My uncle had a 67 C20 CHE_ROLET...HMMM...maybe it was a French truck!

threeonthetree · 08-04-2009, 11:47 PM

Ha
I want a panel so bad
There so bad a$$

**special-K** · 08-05-2009, 04:44 AM

THAT THING`S A "5" DOOR,ISN`T IT???!!!

I guess we haven`t joked about the rare 3 door or awhile.We never had to explain before.

It may look rough,but the seller says rustfree panels have been installed.

6 if you count the engine "door"....and what about the glove box "door"...LOL

mrein3 · 08-05-2009, 06:42 AM

I was only joking, thus the smiley. It seems like most folks think their sub is rare because of the third door.

That sub in particular looks like most 1972 era vehicles up here. 37 years driving through salt 5-6 months out of the year takes its toll.

I'm hoping the picture is a before shot. Before he/she installed the rust free panels as advertised. It sure looks rusty in the picture.
