And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bulky, probably gets six miles to the gallon, but still fun. What a beast!
I believe International Harvester kept that same basic body structure into the late '60s. The fenders, hood, and trim went through many iterations. They got a lot of "mileage" out of those stamping dies.
For some reason, I am drawn to the three door Chevy surburban, the one with only driver side door with a wrap around side mounted seating. I think you had a picture of one of these some months ago.

Very cool! I'm guessing the chrome lightning strip on the side is a custom touch?
ReplyDeleteNope - it was part of a higher trim-line package and the zig-zag was continued through the next body style.
DeleteIt added 12 mph on the top-end.

ReplyDeleteDrop a LS3 into it, keep the fuel injection and the 4l60e and get 15 mpg. Plus relaxed cruise on the highway, reliability and pass me now power.

ReplyDeleteI just can't picture the primitive steering and braking on that monster
ReplyDeleteMy Step-Father had a Travel All and it got about 10 mpg if you were pulling a 35 foot travel trailer or just driving down the road. It didn't care.

Just kidding. Kind of.
I think I recall it had a two stick transfer case. I was too young to drive last time I was in one.
