built in preparation of a somewhat rough life, this Suburban has
been well maintained over the years, and is a great example today.
Original color combination, front bench seat, Silverado equipment,
wood grain dash trim, and a 454 under the hood are just a few of
the highlights of this Yuba Gold Suburban. This vehicle may bring
back nostalgia for many of those who are scrolling through the
pictures. The days before cell phones in family member's hands
during road trips, crank windows, AM/FM radio, and steel wheels
with hubcaps are a stark change from all the features and
technology that we see in SUV's today. The exterior of this vintage
squarebody is finished in the original Yuba Gold, with a white
trimmed center section on the sides and rear. The exterior also
features chrome bumpers, a chrome egg-crate style grille, round
headlights, and Suburban and Silverado badging. White painted steel
wheels have Chevrolet hub caps, and are wrapped in Firestone All
Terrain Tires. The drop-down tailgate opens to reveal a very large
cargo area at the back of the vehicle. The cargo area isn't the
only spacious part of this Suburban, as you would expect the
interior is full of room for passengers. A pair of cushy bench
seats which are trimmed in a combination of cloth and vinyl are
very similar to the original color Saddle custom trim. Perched on
the front bench seat is a prime spot to get a view of the wood
grain trimmed dashboard. The range of gauges includes Oil Pressure,
Coolant Temp, a clock, and Battery meter in the positions at the
left side of the speedometer, which are oftentimes left blank.
Column shift, Delco AM/FM radio, climate control, and a power
tailgate window switch are all within the driver's reach. Woodgrain
trim is carried over to the door panels, along with saddle door
pulls and chrome door handles and window cranks. Under the hood is
a 454ci V8 mated to a TurboHydramatic transmission, just as this
Suburban was optioned from the factory. The underside is solid, and
you may notice while browsing the pictures that this vintage Chevy
is a 2wd model, again just as it left the Flint production plant. A
pair of Cherry Bombs take the place of the larger factory rear
mufflers, so you can hear the rumble of the 454 a little better. A
trailer hitch is still in place and straddles the optional 31
gallon fuel tank - you need to make sure the 454 isn't thirsty!
There's always a place for a vintage squarebody within automotive
enthusiast circles, and this truck is exceptional. A classic
exterior color combination that screams 1970's, a 454 under the
hood, a simple and tidy interior, and simple wheel and tire
treatment are just a few of the things we love about this Suburban.
A plethora of features and technology on an SUV are nice, but
sometimes driving something like this vintage Suburban is
refreshing. Just you, the truck, and the open road. Be sure to
