Suburbans were always a popular tow vehicle. This was back before extended cabs and crew cabs. If you had to tow and bring more people, Suburban was it. Suburbans had that niche market. The '71 Suburban I had (wish I had a picture) was exceptionally well kept. It was the tow vehicle for a Corvette restorer. I always complimented him on it. He worked at the Chevy dealer where I bought parts (80s/90s) and I talked to him a lot. One day he told me he was going to sell it and he thought he's offer it to me first. I felt so privileged along with obligated. It was my duty to own that Suburban and I made it happen!
Tim...your story paints a picture that's even better than a photo...but photos are nice to have too!
