Motortown Impact Package for Suburbans?

[texdave]

I found this brochure for a Motortown Impact Appearance Package that GMC seems to have made available to dealers/buyers back in 1976. http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/pdfs/1976/1976 Motortown Impact '76 Suburban.pdf

Has anyone actually seen a Suburban with this package out in the wild? I'd love to find any of the components (front air dam, wheel well flares, 8-lug wheels?, painted mirrors) to put on my 76 Burb but am striking out finding much of anything about this package on Google. Anyone have any info on this?

Wow! I have never seen or heard of the Suburban version before. I like it. It even has "The Wheels".

I've never heard of seen this either till just now. But I kinda like it... especially the wheels.

Did some more Googling, looks like it was a one year only appearance package that was also available for the trucks and K5. https://autowise.com/all-of-73-87-c...cks-part-i/#:~:text=GMC Impact Edition | 1976

I've never run across that on a 'burb in all my travels and research. There were lots of special editions back then, whether it was from GM or aftermarket or a dealer special and near impossible to find any real solid info on any of the aftermarket/dealer ones let alone parts.

The front air dam though, check out SloshTubz, he repopped that a few years ago and it looks great. Those front air dams were used on several of the "specials" back then -

Dammit! Now added to my list of 70s looking chit that would look cool on the BIG10!

Interesting that obscure appearance package also used Ford style mirrors. Weird how many 70s GM pickups inherited them along the way somehow.
Doesn’t compute with me as bodywork and different reinforcements would need to be installed in the door for a competent swap job.
I’ve seen at least 2 other nice C10s 70s models around here for sale in recent years with “Ford” mirrors. One actually looked totally original with orig paint and no extra holes in the doors. Makes me wonder did GM actually kick a few down the assembly line with oddball mirrors?

Those mirrors were available in the aftermarket. We had them in our store, but I don't remember the brand.
