We have a 59 Suburban we have had for about 18 years, use it as a daily driver, Sept 2014 we took it all the way to the East coast and back (6600 miles in 3 ½ weeks) and then June 2015 down to California and back (San Diego and Dizzyland).
Recently, It hauled home a 1955 Chevy 6400 (2 ton) flatbed and then a 1958 2 ton with a dump on it! Last one (the 58) we weighed 17,340 rolling across the scales. Yeah, I know, a little heavy for a half ton!
We are going to make an extended cab out of the 55 and 58 and use it as a tow rig for our 1951 Royal Spartanette (35’ travel trailer). I am not new to wrenching, just new to this site. Looking forward to learning a lot about the bigger trucks and sharing some of my experience as well.
