Talk:Chevrolet Suburban

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is this article listed under the GMC category in addition to the Chevrolet category? Isn't it just a Chevrolet vehicle? — Vespristiano 17:49, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It was formerly produced as a GMC vehicle. — Jesse's Girl | Please talk! 12:33, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
That is, it was also a GMC vehicle. Some years back GMC started calling their 'burbs Yukon XLs. --Badger151 01:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • NOTE

Only from the year 2000 and up was the "GMC SUBURBAN" (A DIVISION OF CHEVROLET PROFESSIONAL LINES OF VEHICALS) named the "YUKON".

It is not within the scope of "WIKPEDIA" to be a manual for any truck or car line. Its only intended as a informative artical giving the general scope of the history of said car or truck lines. For retorical or technical information one should contact GM, or third party information such as Chiltons or like materials.

[edit] Onion article

I can't find the Onion article on their website (which is meant to be the complete archive) or any references to it on Google. If no one can verify it existed, it should be deleted.

(In fact I can't see the harm in deleting the entire References section) --87.82.16.118 18:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that it is retarded that the Yukon XL redirects here, the Yukon doesnt redirect to the Tahoe.

[edit] Older Suburban info missing

There's nothing in detail here about any Suburban before GMT400, and there's a complete information void between 1966 and 1988. Someone who knows anything about that time (I can't say I do) really needs to fill in those details. I have a photo of an 80s-model GMC Suburban waiting at the Commons, but there's nothing relevent to it in the entire article, so I'm hesitant to put it up. IFCAR 23:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Update: A thank you to whoever put up the picture. It would be nice if it referred to some part of the article though. IFCAR 23:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

'61 Stretch Suburban
'61 Stretch Suburban

I notice that all the photos in the article are of recent models; I don't know whetther that is policy or lack of images of older vehicles. I don't generally work on car articles, but someone might want to make use of Image:1961 Stretch Suburban 1.jpg, which I took at a street fair this summer.

By the way, if my memory serves me well, they used these on Long Island, NY as airport limos in the 1960s, but I don't have anything citable on that. - Jmabel | Talk 06:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I've seen links on strech versions of Suburbans, as well as sedans and station wagons, but I forgot where they are. I don't doubt that some Suburbans were turned into airport limos in the 1960's, but I've seen more of this being done on cars than anything else. Long Island Airport Limousine Service, and Connecticut Limousine used to have fleets of those, most notably Checker Aerobuses, and converted Chrysler Newports. Also, if you've ever seen the movie Dog Day Afternoon, you'll find such a conversion on a 1969 International Harvester Travelall(http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_57994-International-Harvester-Travelall-1969.html). ---- DanTD 15:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chassis

Is it a body-on-frame or unibody? // Liftarn

Unibody is defined as a "Union of Frame an body"

GMC an Chevrolet full size SUV'S are full frame,

and not unibody. Suburban full size were "Body on a frame".

A pickup frame with a Suburban body.

A good example of a simple unibody would be a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

[edit] "The Forgotten Years?" I doubt it.

I'm pretty sure the 1960-66 Suburbans, as well as the pickups and other Chevrolet-GMC Trucks were referred to as "Jet-Age", or "Space-Aage" or something like that. ---- DanTD 00:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the article is referring to "forgotten" by the current generation. I'm 18 and I sure as well don't know what 60-'66 suburban looks like(I don't pride myself of my knowledge of cars tho either). They may have been great vehicles, not "forgotten" by GM in it's time period.--Tygone2 15:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why redirected from Suburban

Why does Suburban redirect here? --Blake3522 07:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
