That's an awesome old Suburban! One thing I'm wondering about is how come there is only 1 door on the driver's side and 2 on the passenger side? :unsure:

Thanks sir!! The '67-'72 suburbans only had 3 doors. They promoted it as "curbside safety for kids" so they weren't getting out of the vehicle into traffic when parked on the street. Pre '67 suburbans only had 2 front doors, so the 3rd door in '67 was a pretty major upgrade.
