I just thought I would add my knowledge of the early Chevrolet Suburbans. In 1934 Chevrolet produced the first vehicle (a wood bodied Station Wagon) that called a Suburban. It was almost identical to the Hercules-Campbell Body Co., Inc of Tarrytown, N.Y. enclosed station wagon. These were sold mostly to the US Military Cavalry Divisions. In the later part of 1935 Chevrolet started production of the first Suburban Carryall which was based on the 1/2 ton panel body and only had the panel truck "barn doors" for the first 2 years. Body is wood frame with steel metal covering. The Mifflingburg Body Co., PA beat Chevy in 1933 by producing a 4 dr. Station Wagon body with all steel metal over wood frame.
