1962 GMC 4x4 Carryall

[zinkypoo]

Just found 1962 GMC 4x4 Carryall/Surburban. 100% original, 1 owner and seems to run well. It has a working PTO winch that I was told is a factory special-order item. The seller is asking $2,500. Any thoughts as to how rare this vehicle is? Or what it may be worth?

[badblu97]

Is it a rust bucket? If its in good shape body wise, 4 wheel drive works, runs well, and all original sounds like a decent deal to me...

[zinkypoo]

Not a rust bucket. Eveything works, I was curious about the winch and if that might make it somewhat rare or unusual or add to its value?

[66Gilbert]

Any pictures? Sounds like a good deal if no rust and everything works. Winch may be a dealer install, I doubt it was installed at the factory.

Sorry I don't have any pictures. I am a new user, I just found this web-site while trying to do some research on this vehicle. I'm still curious about the PTO winch. I have not seen any similiar vechiles with a PTO winch. Still undecided, Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about the production numbers, but one owner trucks are rare as can be. Worth is entirely dependent on condition, so it's hard to say with no info.
This is just a guess, but I'm thinking the truck is probably not worth messing with, and you should just PM me with the owners phone number. ...Seriously though, pm me if you decide not to persue it. Thanks and good luck!

pto winches were the norm in those years

What does that mean? I can't find a similar vehicle with a PTO winch. Does it add to the value or not?

Bud Light & I found this 1962 GMC 4x4. Bud Light told me it was rare and worth more than what I offered.

My wife tells me I cannot buy this vehicle.

your more than likely not old enough to know. most trucks that had winches were more than likely being used and didn't survive. .these trucks are bordering on 50 years old and changes were made. electric winches are more preferred than pto by the masses. that suburban that you are talking about was more than likely bought to tow an airstream trailer and more than likely never went off pavement.
my 4 x4 panel came with a pto. though it was taken off over 20 years ago some sob seemed to have wanted it and stole it from me. 4 x 4 panels had much lower production #s than 4 x 4 suburbans and I don't feel that it is rare. maybe when there is only a real handful of something made should it perhaps be regarded as rare and only a couple remain

If this works I'll post somemore

[zinkypoo]

I would be interested in any thought you may have.

Looks like a pretty decent Burb.

So does this mean you talked the wife into it?

[A.T. RockDriller]

I'll bet I sure wish I had that one.....even with the pink....salmon....whatever color paint job that is.

[zinkypoo]

I don't know what the color is called. I do know that it is the original factory paint and it looks pretty good for being 50 years old.

I would gladly pay $2500 for this little gem. Seems to me that bargains like this don't come around that often anymore.

If I was you, I would jump on this!

I can't say that I understand my wife's logic, but she seems to think that three trucks is enough for one guy. Huh ?? Anyway, If I was going to get this truck, it would be to have a little fun, and flip it for a small profit (?) fairly soon. I think a better idea is to let another member here grab a cool 4X burb that he or she wants to own. It looks to have potential, and somebody here needs to check it out in the flesh. (pun intended with that wonderful GMC color)
I think this Willy fellow will sell his truck soon, so better make a move... now GO!

the seats are worth 1800-2000----- buy it

[jocko]

Maybe try this "pitch" with the wife - show her this thread and how it's EASILY worth what the guy is asking - and say you'll re-sell it for a profit. Suburbans are like puppies, wives fall in love with them once they are home. Next thing you know, you have a new truck and it looks like it was the spousal unit's idea to keep it!

But then again, I'm no longer married....

Screamin' deal
I hope someone on here buys it

That looks like a Braden winch. I have one on my K10. It would be a dealer installed or retailer installed option. There's literature on this winch in my 63 Silver Book. The Silver book was made availible to GM truck dealers to show clients non factory installed options. There were other winch companies listed as well.

WOW! you really know your stuff I checked and you are right it is a Braqden Winch. Do you know if that increases the value of this truck?

If I buy this, I will probably wind up sleeping in it. Plus I don't have the means to fix it up. Maybe you should snag it, Menifee is only 20-30 minutes from S.B.
