1972 Chevrolet Suburban
Debuting in 1935, the Chevrolet Suburban is the original sport-utility vehicle and oldest nameplate in the industry -- representing more than 75 percent of Chevrolet's 100 years of production.
The 1972 Suburban was the last model of the seventh generation, which was introduced in 1968. This generation was unique for its three-door arrangement -- a single driver-side door and two passenger-side doors. Previous generations had only two doors and all subsequent generations had four doors.
This is a Custom Deluxe C20 (3/4-ton) Chevrolet Suburban. It is unusual in that it is equipped with a manual 4-speed transmission ($190 option). The Chevrolet Suburban also had only three side doors, with no rear door on the driver's side and was available with rear doors or a tailgate. The Custom Deluxe package added a cigarette lighter, door operated dome light and bright door trim and window framing.
Chevrolet sold approximately 27,000 Suburbans in 1972.
FAST FACT: A window-less "panel" version of the Suburban was traditionally offered as a commercial vehicle, but 1972 was the final year for that unique model.

Suburban C10 badge
Suburban C10The second generation C/K Suburbans are easily recognised by having only a single drivers side door and two passenger-side doors. They were available in both 2WD and 4WD models. Engines included the V6 (e.g., Chevrolet 292-cubic-inch I6, and GMC 305 cubic inch V-6), and small-block V-8s of the current model year (e.g., 283, 307, 327, 350, 400-cubic-inch V-8s.) For the first time, a three-quarter ton version was available.
1971 saw the introduction of disc brakes on the front wheels[25], and 1972 was the last year for coil-spring rear suspension on 2WD models. 1972 also introduced rear seat air conditoning. The Comfort-Tilt steering wheel became optional in 1971[26].
This series would also be the last to offer C-10 & C-20 Panel truck models for commercial purposes.
Thank you! That was my first car, but mine was in no where near as good as shape.
So much nostalgia seeing it, especially the interior. Thank you again!
Beautiful C20. I love it. I found '72 a C10custom deluxe with an automatic transmission and a front diff (4X4) in a salvage yard with an orange and white paint job. My wife and I love it, but the yard owner won't sell it because he can't get a title for it. :(
You can't find em, grind em! FYI, you don't start out in granny gear unless your pulling something.
Beautiful Suburban mine was the same color in the inside I change all that great to see a stock one I changed a lot to fit my conferts my nephew still has it everyone turn there head to look at it
Thanks for comment!
Love the burban, I had a 69 and my dad had 5 - 3 door burbans
I have two 71 suburbans.one gmc, one chevy very cool cars ive had a picnic on the roof its so big..
Beautiful old car
When you compare this to a 2013 it will make you cry
I can hear the gears whine.
I love suburbans they're so spacious ....
Don't ride the clutch brother. Either way nice .truck
Such a beautiful "Burban"!
Me gusta la camioneta una Chevrolet Suburban 1972 saludos
Very interesting. Thank for posting!
In the clutch long course, the gear changes take a long time just trying to get in the transfer. Very unusual to work with a large lever
Nice suburban!
One day im gonna have all the old gm Chevy Ford's I want one day
Thanks for comment!
Awesome video
+thashoeboy Tell him U want it for parts, no title needed, then do a search on the internet, Learn how to create a title
Sweet looking Suburban. While I like the music, it doesn't seem to go well with the Suburban.
I could't help you, sorry. This car was from Chevy museum.
Thaks for message!
where can I find, or who sells the chrome trim that runs along the bottom of the window and doors ???
I want that Burb for my Kat to haul the dogs around in.
Not a true 4 speed standard. 1st is a double low, or granny gear.
Why do people who post videos think background music is required?
Dude, quit jamming the transmission into 1st, hear the grinding? It is NOT synchronized.
Don't know why he was even using 1st gear! Must be a door greater, lol
How do the clutch and gear box feel?
175hp seems weak for a 350, but I guess it was a "smog" motor. Quadrajet carb?
Machi74005 I'm guessing that too
Yup, there was a smog pump right on top. The owner _really_ must have a passion for keeping it original. Can't fault the dedication, though.
Love the Suburban! But the music!👎🏼
Suburban da GM lembra a veraneio.da GM.aqui
I think that clutch needs to be adjusted.
Loose nut behind the wheel.
Because his can and he's got the 350
Chevrolet Veraneio - car exhibition in Bolevar Arc . Veja este vídeo e compare a Veraneio fabricada no Brasil com a Malibu. Há algo em com , são Chevrolet. Sid77@hotmail.com
My dad has a 71 C-10 I bet this suburban would be to heavy to peel out with the 350
Thanks for comment!
