I think there is a stovebolt at the Russo-Steele Auction in Scottsdale, but I only saw the back from the highway at about 65 mph. Possibly a 1937-1946 based on the back of the cab. I hope to drop by tomorrow and see. Next to my office is the RMS auction at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. I found a 1941 Suburban with a Campbell body. Claims to be one of 23 made and one of two existing. Expected to sell for $80 - $100k? Nice vehicle, but too rich for my blood - any takers? Check out the pictures!

That '41 is one cool burb!

I don't think they called it a Burb though. Still one sweeeeeet looking truck.

I wonder if I can sneak open the hood and get a VIN off it before security tackles me. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 184 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 184 | Okay, according to the data sheet the VIN is GMC710041. I'm not as familiar with GMC VIN's. Does this make sense to anyone? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 | If it truely came from a Wickenburg Dude Ranch and was there in the early 60's, there is a good chance my grandpa drove it. He worked on one down there back then. Sure would be cool to have a truck like that for conversation. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,442 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,442 | no doubt...i'd be all over it if i had any money

I'm not sure what Campbell called them. They built these bodies on various brands of vehicles. That GMC710041 number could have been a Campbell number. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | they were called station wagons back then, even on a truck chassis, 'burbs were metal bodied - Campbell was the maker , and the car based wagons were Cantrell built Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | Me wanty. Actually, I'd like to fabricate my own- an art deco cab, GMC 302 with a hydramatic, disc brakes, lots of wood and chrome. Maybe that will be my next project, my wife wants a woody. I'd make a good 10th anniversary present.
