    1. Looks like a 4-door to me.

    2. Uncle had one, 3rd side door on passenger side, great for kids to slide all the way across the rear bench seat.

    3. So, a five door

  2. Looks like someone checked all the options in 1972. The 3 door was a factory special order as well as the 4WD. I'm guessing the idea was the kids could only get out onto the sidewalk and not onto the road where they could get hit by traffic. When Chrysler introduced the minivan in 1984 there was a sliding door on the passenger side only.

  3. I had a '79 Suburban, had the big engine and was geared for towing, 10 mpg all the time. Comfortable to drive.

  4. Bought an '86 4WD w/ a rear stand alone heater. 15 Hwy/10 City. Solid front axle, bad ride on a bumpy road. Other than that, loved it. Only set me back $17K or so.

  5. Would look much better with black or white spoke old school rims.

  6. All 68-72 Suburbans were 3 door. My dad ordered a new 72 with 2wd and a 402 big block with the turbo 400 trans. Took family vacations all over the county in it till he bought a new one in 78.
