The production numbers furnished on the Suburban vs Panel post has got me wondering. Obviously the difference between a Panel and Suburban are rather obvious, but what exactly is a Carryall? I was told once that the early Suburbans were called Carryall's, but yet the production numbers show that the 4x4 Burbs were Carryall's. I have also seen Suburbans that had fixed windows down the side of them, not the sliders. Is this a differant model, or were the Sliders just an option? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 | You will also see a Carryall Suburban and a Suburban Carryall!

A panel is just that. A panel truck! Good for delivery,freight purposes.
A suburban, to me is the suburban with the seats in it,to where it can be used as a "passenger vehicle",,,Station Wagon.
A suburban with the seats removed would be a "carryall". Obviously for "carrying" cargo,freight,parcels,lumber,etc.....
Who knows for sure???????????????

It came without the narrow middle seat and the rear side windows are fixed instead of sliding. The wide rear seat is where the middle seat would have been. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | In the Task Force era. Chevy had among it's styles, a Suburban and a Cameo and GMC called the same two: Carryall and Suburban Carrier.
