Just picked up a 1967 GMC Suburban - been sitting in Alaska for 30 years!

Wow, 5 years later and I’m just now getting around to bringing this thing home. It’s getting trailered down to the house this weekend, hopefully!

I can’t seem to find where I hosted the original pictures, so I got some new ones while we were up there scoping out the path to get it towed out. It’s rustier than I remember, but it was a very well optioned rig back in the day. I’m guessing this would definitely be a 1-of-X rig.







I noticed something interesting here - on this SPID label, there appears to be two additional options hand written onto the label, which also appear to be the same code layout as the factory options. Is this something that the factory or dealers did? I’ve never heard of nor seen this done. I wish it was clearer and easier to read, but either way it’s interesting.

Finally got her pulled out of her spot! It rolled pretty decent, master cylinder is seized. Found out that it has a 12 bolt axle. Was this standard, or optional?



Gave it a quick scrub down. Almost looks restorable now!





It’s going to need some major metal repairs. The passenger pillar is rusted away at the bottom. I can get the rear door to shut, barely. The front door latch is off by about 1/2”. I’m assuming the body has sagged a bit.
