Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 49 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 49 | Just wondering how many folks out there own a 60-66 K10 Suburban. What was the first year that GM offered 4 wheel drive on a Suburban? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 13 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 13 | 60 was the first year for factory 4x4. Proir to that would have been an aftermarket NAPCO conversion done by the dealer. Not a whole lot of 60-66 4x4 burbs I know of. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Actually it was '57, '56 for GMC. The parts were still outsourced from NAPCO, but the assembly was done at GMs plants.
A little 4x4 trivia-GMC was the first manufacturer to offer a v8 engine and automatic tranny in a 4x4. I know the Jeep guys like to claim they did it first in '62, but GMC offered those options in '56, 6 years earlier.

The motor likes to go fast but the gas tank can't keep up with it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 76 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 76 | Originally posted by sub65:
