1968 Chevy Carryall Suburban on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
Engine:Inline six
Drive Type: 2wd
Model: Suburban
Mileage: 999,999
Trim: C20
1968 Chevy Carryall (Suburban) 3/4-ton three-door with barn doors in the back. Inline six (250?) with SM420 four-speed manual. This must have been a city fleet truck when new, as it is factory orange (been repainted once, a little darker than original) with rubber floor mats and no options. No power steering, no power brakes, no A/C--nothing. It runs and drives well, with a decent running engine, good clutch, good brakes, tracks straight, and the trans does not pop out of gear. It's geared low and doesn't like more than 65 mph on the highway; drive it faster and the engine starts to push oil out of the valve cover. It obviously has late-model wheels on it, and the tires are ok. Someone painted the interior brown a long time ago. I put a '72 bench seat in the front (when I got it it had the random bucket seats you can see in the back) and it's blue so it does not match. There's no rear seat at all. Some of the window cranks are missing, and some of the buttons on the outside door handles are hinky. The body is pretty rough, with small to medium dents on every panel. There's rust at the bottom of the rear quarters and a little in the rockers, but I've seen way worse. The wood in the bed is not rotted anywhere. The driver door has been replaced (note it's the only part of the truck with trim above the beltline), but matches surprisingly well. Basically, this thing is a fantastic beater. It would not be worth a huge resto project, but as a rat it's pretty cool. I'd slam it and take it to El Mirage and Bonneville as a push truck if I didn't need to thin the fleet.

A user pointed out that the engine is a 292. Right! I forgot about those.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
