It would be cool to find one!Really make them scratch thier heads.

Looks like they used a p/u or at least p/u doors.

1969 GMC · 10-07-2003, 01:41 AM

yeah, those are pickup doors, also look at how the filler neck is between the front and rear door. Funky but cool.

Lake Shore Drive Chicago Illinois

You can not drive truck plated vehicles on Blvds and Drives in Chicago. My parents live in a city (Park Ridge, IL) where truck plated vehicles are not allowed on the street or in the driveways over night. I don't know how seriously it is enforced. I think it is used to keep people from storing commercial vehicles in residential areas.

Sounds like governments out of control to me...

157" wheel base. Is that from a Longhorn, or did they extend the frame 30"? I used to live 1/2 block from Lake Shore Drive as a kid. I knew some doormen who really didn't like skateboarding punks.

1969 GMC · 10-08-2003, 09:44 PM

IIRC, 157" was the long wheelbase version of the one ton chassis. Longbed p/u's are 127", Longhorns (C/20 or /30) are 133", C/30 - either 133" (extra long stepside p/u or cab & chassis) or 157" (cab & chassis only).
Probably just shipped SRW one ton 157" chassis to special aftermarket body manufacturer.

No, it sounds like people knowing the area they choose to live in and not wanting to look at dump trucks next to their $500K house.
There are plenty of un-incorporated areas that people can live where the people choose to live with that next door. People have a choice to live in the those areas where it is allowed, just like my parents had the choice not to live in area where it was allowed

It has been like that the 50 years they have lived here, so it is no suprise to anyone planning to purchase in their city.

I think we have all got the why does it have
3 doors, why did you weld it closed ? questions,
but for good reason (Cheaper tabs when I lived
in Utah). I went to transfer the title when my
dad died, and they ask me what is a Suburban, well
I say it is sorta like a station wagon

, had
car tabs on my 3/4 ton 4X4 suburban for the rest
of the time in Utah.
