Re: One Ton Suburban
I came across an old photo today. It was taken in about 1972. It shows me standing in front of my 1963 half ton Suburban and Dad standing in front of his 1965 one ton Suburban. A previous owner of my half ton had turned the center seat around to face the rear, and had installed a table between the center seat and the rear (third row) seat to form a dinette. That truck also had an under-dash air conditioning unit. Dad's Suburban had 12x16.5 tires on it. I put 10x16.5 tires on mine. I used a crescent wrench to turn up the inner lip of the rear wheel openings to clear the tires. They were still a tight fit.
