1960 GMC Suburban Carryall Factory 4x4 K1001

1960 GMC Suburban Carryall 4x4. Incredible Green Machine! This vehicle was purchased new and used for mountain search and rescue by a local fire department in western Montana. The vehicle was virtually rust free for its age showing only 44K on the odometer, still having the factory chalk marks on the frame and firewall. I purchased it and completed a total nut & bolt, bare metal restoration/rebuild in 2009. I drove it for two years, about 6000 miles, in northwest Pennsylvania winters, which explains the lower outer panel rust. Repair panels are available at any 60-66 Chevy GMC supplier for about $700. I planned to repair the body back to new again but I’m no longer able. When initially restored every single part was removed, disassembled, cleaned, stripped and rebuilt. The entire body and frame were stripped to bare metal before epoxy primer and paint. I have hundreds of restoration pictures and will include a few with the auction. This truck is a pleasure to drive with the power steering, power brakes, AC and the leather buckets. It could be driven anywhere.
