This factory-built K10 4x4 Suburban is a rare gem, as one of only 444 produced by GM in 1965 with ‘barn-style” rear doors. This example was reportedly originally used as a school bus in Montana and it is equipped with two middle-seating rows, providing ease of entry and exit, plus a factory front jump seat and four sliding windows. A restoration commenced in 1997 – with completion in 2005 – and recent work has included a professional cleaning of the underside with dry-ice blasting. During the restoration, the chassis was repainted in semi-satin black paint, while the exterior sports period-correct Light Blue paint, characteristic of 1964–1968 models.

Ample power is delivered by the 283 cid Chevrolet small-block V-8 engine. The carburetor was reportedly professionally rebuilt in 2022 and the truck was converted to an HEI ignition system while retaining the appearance of the factory housing. A synchronized, four-speed manual gearbox and 3.73:1 Positraction rear end deliver its power. Other features include the Braden PTO-driven winch, plus vacuum gauges, and a tachometer residing within the rebuilt dash cluster.

Other highlights include the period-correct Medium Fawn Poly-painted interior and desirable back-up lights. Rare, highly equipped, and restored, this classic American SUV is a fun collectible with plenty of room for friends and family to share the iconic experience.
