  • 1976 GMC 4x4 Suburban 3/4 Ton out of storage after 15 years. I needed to find me a truck, and find me a truck I did, right under my own nose. We are proud to introduce this good old 76 GMC Suburban Four Wheel Drive back into civilization after 15 years in storage. It was in Wisconsin and then driven out to California to have it slowly but surely restored into a "Sleeper" crawler/pre-runner. We plan to keep it looking like a "Day 2" 1976 as much as possible but with some mean new upgrades under the it's sleeve. Currently it has 6" Block, Shock, and Leaf spring lift. Small Block 400 CID Motor with new Cam and new stroke. Edelbrock 600 Carb. Turbo 350 Automatic Trans with aftermarket shift kit.

    Don't go rod it to death. Cherish it. Take good care of it and it will take good care of you. Someday, I'll be giving my grandson my 76 Chevy 3/4 ton Silverado 4x4. He's 11 now.

    That is really nice. I love the 70's burbans. Really dig the colors of this one. Looks like the Sierra Classic gives the woodgrain and two tone appearance I like alot. May be on the hunt for one real similar myself.

    "Holy Mother of Effffff...!" We had one of these Beauties, complete with a heavy-duty towing package, purchased in Summer, 1976! We named her "Betsy", she was Sky Blue and White" in color, and we had her until *well* into the late 1980's. Many a Summer Trip with our 20' Camping Trailer, either up to our Campsite in Alpena, MI.; Jellystone Park in Indian River, MI; or road-tripping to Cedar Point, were spent in that vehicle. My sister and I spent numerous times half hanging out of the tailgate, window open, no seatbelts whatsoever. We made a nest of blankets in the back, and knew no better...!

    I'm going out today to look at a very similar suburban (but in much rougher shape). It's got new tires on it and is mechanically sound, so can't really complain. Guy only wants $600 for it! At that price, I could replace every single mechanical and electrical part and it would still be cheaper than owning a new SUV. Wish me luck!

  • @noahgaray7923
    @noahgaray7923 5 лет назад +1

    I’ve watched this video before, one sweet burb! Love the winch bumper. The one oddity though is it was ordered as a 3/4 ton but with tiny mirrors 🤔

    • @ChurchieShed
      @ChurchieShed  5 лет назад +1

      Noah Garay we’ve never understood that either! Original owner doesn’t remember the option of bigger mirrors. It was a full custom order in 75 so we’d love to know if the bigger ones were an option this year on a 3/4 Sierra Classic?...

    • @noahgaray7923
      @noahgaray7923 5 лет назад +1

      Offroad Outdoorsman My friend told me a story of his grandfather who ordered a K30 which came accidentally with the giant camper mirrors. I don’t know which were stock for a k30 or K20, but he had the regular style put on. Same friend has a c20 with the same little mirrors which were ordered so the truck could fit in his tiny garage. I’ll bet they were standard on a half ton, but probably an option with credit given back on a 3/4 ton? Would make the most sense to me since a 3/4 ton would do more hauling, then the standard mirrors would be one size larger?

    71 k, and I'm using your ideas to finish it.
    2 and a half lift, same wheels you're using and 33 inch tires.
    Can't wait until it's finished!

    Nice. This Brown and Orange was a custom combo. In 75-76 you could choose any combo if you ordered from the dealer... from what I understand.

    Thanks! Yeah, it's a ton of metal. ALL METAL. There's maybe 2 plastic things on it. The Dash and the AC housing! Haha.

    i had one of these, same set up but a bit newer being a 82. its fun to try to park that thing into a parking lot between the lines. mine was a rusty turd though and used for offroading. only had it a few years, it was just to dang big and had a heck of a time getting that thing around the trail

    • @ChurchieShed
      @ChurchieShed  10 лет назад

      Yeah, it's not the best trail truck. Only if the trails are REALLY wide.

    @Mr85chevyk20 Those were DC Fun Country 35x12.5x16.5s. Those tires and wheels were junk. I loved the Ansen(sp) Sprint wheels but they were 16.5 which barely anyone makes tires for anymore. Weird old 80s size. Now I have BFG KM2 37"s.

  • @ChurchieShed
    @ChurchieShed  10 лет назад

    There's some reasonably priced one's out there. The Suburban's aren't as popular of a resto project like Broncos, Blazers, and Scouts so they're still cheap... but may need a lot of TLC. Thanks for watching

    brown truck with orange stripe? Wow I thought to be a designer for GM you had to pass a drug test. The proper colors to go with brown are tan, black, gold, copper or even light yellow. Orange looks good with white, gold, copper or even black. Also 3/4 ton suburbans are used mainly for construction or cattle rustling not to drive around and waste gasoline. I have a 1977 1/2 ton with a 350 and I get 16 miles to the gallon on the freeway doing 75.
