Re: Roadside Find: 1987 Suburban Dually

I'm thinking the rear out of a C30 cab and chassis would give this effect. Its lots narrower than the dually pickup rear. Dually pickup rears the inside rear tire will track in line with the steer tire. On a chassis cab the steer tire will split between the rears.
Any case, this is cool. Will still allow trips through the drive through.

Greg, I never even thought of that! I bet you are right.

I got some really weird looks as I was blasting pictures of this thing in the Lowe's parking lot. Heh!

Re: Roadside Find: 1987 Suburban Dually

I don't know which surprises me more...

The fact that I'm viewing a 1-ton dually 'Burban, or the fact that I'm looking at a 1973-1987 GM Truck that isn't eaten alive with rust......ON THE EAST COAST, to further confound.

Yep, Lohnes....you're our kind of weird.

I notice I get confronted more and more taking photos. I now ask permission, and have cards made with my name and email, tell them I will send them photos if they'd like. I once made the mistake of wearing my Teamsters jacket while taking pics at a truck stop. I was quickly surrounded by angry drivers. I don't know what they thought I was doing, but they calmed down when I mentioned Hanks Truck Pictures.com. I get bother less when using a pocket point and shoot, and way more with a Nikon D40 DSLR.

For some reason lots of people get freaky about folks taking pictures. There are all kinds of stories over in photography forums.

Re: Roadside Find: 1987 Suburban Dually

I have the 4x4 3/4 ton version of that suburban, it has a 3000 lb payload capacity....not sure why you'd need duals on it....unless you've got a heck of a lot of tongue weight, but then you'd want a 5th wheel anyways.

It does look neat! maybe that's why
