Body style(s) 2-door wagon
Layout FR layout
Engine(s) 265 cu in V8
283 cu in V8
Engines included I-6 and the small block V-8s. Chevrolet used its 265 V-8 engine, later evolving it to a 283-cubic-inch version. GMC based their V-8 on a Pontiac design. Standard Suburban model numbers continued from the previous series, but the introduction of four-wheel-drive models in 1957 added the numbers "3156" for 4WD Suburbans with panel doors, and "3166" for 4WD Suburbans with tailgates. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | welcome to the bolt Bongo .... what is it you're wondering about, the TF designation or the different 'burb configurations? all that info and lots, lots more is available in the forums here
Bill | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 36 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 36 | I guess I was wondering is if anyone has ever seen the assigned number of 3156 or 3166 on the side of the apache fender badge. I've seen 3100 and 3600 but never the others. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | the specific model designations never were on the trim pieces, just the series, 3100, 3200, 3600, 3800, etc, which indicates the weight class ... the pickup is an xx04, the panel is an xx05, etc
