The PowerFlow Transmission as GMC called did use the support rods like the Turbo 400.

Looks like the truck also has an accessory 4-way flasher box with knob hanging down under the steering column.

From what I have been able to tell, the support rods seem to be West-coast assembly plant related; so far of the 4 or 5 Powerflow automatic GMC's I've owned none have had the support rods and the two others with the T400 didn't either. So anyway, I am not sure but guessing this Suburban was built in Atlanta or somewhere nearby, and thus it does not have the supports. So far I have only seen those on Western trucks anyway

yeah, the 4 way hazard switch is complete but Nathan said it does not seem to work, so he provided me with a replacement switch to put in there so I'll get that dangling original one taken down and replaced with the new one

Thank you Culver - I have wanted a GMC Suburban decked out to the gills with cool accessory stuff for years and never found one exactly like I wanted until now. As for the miles, it has 80 something thousand original miles on it, so not unbelievably low, but low for the trucks age for sure....80K is nothing to a V6!

you know, you might actually be onto something with that comment about the showroom demo - this truck was bought new in Jan 1967 so I wonder if it was used by the dealership like you suggest as a means of showing installed options for truck and suburban buyers alike. Interesting thought anyway

I just checked the Protect-o-plate and there is no customer name on it - only the VIN, 351E engine CID, and rear axle ratio 3:54. So does anyone know if this means it was ordered by the dealership as stock or is it indicative that it might well have been ordered to be used as a demo? I've never seen a protect-o-plate that didn't have the original buyers' name and address stamped in it, but I have not seen many GMC plates, so maybe only Chevy did that? Ed Snyder or Pete will know this probably....

GMCNUT, soon as I dig up the Protect-o-Plate to my 68 I'll let you know what's on it.
