how rare is it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am just wondering how rare my Suburban is. I have a 1976 C10 2wd burb with a 454 ci and a th400 trans. The kicker is that it has 5 lug wheels. Its like a 1/2 ton with a 3/4 ton drivetrain. Personally I have never seen another one like this. Does anyone else have one?

I have a 79 2wd that had a factory 454/400 combo. It has 5 lug wheels and was a camper special. I don't know if that makes it common but I have seen a few around.

Not rare at all. 454 was an option for them.

I know I have seen quite a few 1/2 ton, 5 lug pickups with the 454 engine, but no suburbans. I was just wondering. Thanks for your help

It just has a good heavy duty towing package on it
