1975 Chevy Silverado 20 Suburban. 2-wheel drive, 3/4 ton. Here is your chance to own a beautiful vintage truck that you can drive any day, anywhere. It is an outstanding restoration that makes the truck reliable and useful without sacrificing its vintage cool. No outdated computers to fail, no rust, no fussy electrics-- just a head turning 1970s truck that can take you anywhere and tow whatever you choose to bring. Introductory Year Silverado-- an extremely rare, first edition Silverado Suburban. This vehicle is the right year—it’s a 1975. That year is critical because the very first year for the long running Silverados was 1975. That year also was the very last year you could get the mighty LS-4 454 cubic inch engine in a full-sized truck without factory emissions. In 1975, smog was not required for trucks over 8000lbs GVWR. Result: A Silverado 20 Suburban with no computer, no smog, and true dual exhaust !

Please note the original Delco am/fm radio has been tested and works, The wiring is all good but the dash speaker coil will need to be restored. This truck hasn’t been cut apart or abused EVER! It’s always been garage kept since neww and is in beautiful condition. All original fabric & materials were used on interior restoration.
The a/c works, but the system had to be evacuated when the radiator support housing was removed then powdercoated and reinstalled. You will need either to charge it with R-12 or make the conversion to R-134a—that’s a decision for the new owner.
The truck was Z-Barted, undercoated and rustproofed when brand new. It has manual windows and manual locks. All glass is good and original—no chips, no cracks, no scratches. Original LOF date coded windshield is PERFECT. This truck has the electric tailgate window, which was standard for Silverado equipped Suburbans. Works great!

The Silverado trucks for 1975 are rare. First year, first edition, big block with one ton chassis. Fully restored with an eye toward maintaining the original character and features of the truck. The 1970s Suburbans are not easy to find-- it's much easier to find the mid-80s vintage, with all the computer headaches that come along with them. The photographs tell the story.
