Probably one of those C20 Suburban's that came with 396/th400/3.54 Dana 60, and it got lowered.
When Mean Green was on the road I swapped in one of those 3.54 Dana 60s, and that truck was only happy at 80mph.

Yes that's an Action Line ('67-72) Burb. Three doors, rear passenger door only on the passenger side. Not near as common as square body Burbs, they were just starting to become recreational/SUVs instead of just commercial trucks. They might have even still called them "carryall suburbans" in the brochures....
The real holy Grail on these is the panel truck, very rare. I've seen more in ads, than in real life.

There's one just like it sitting in a wrecking yard here. '68 Suburban, same color, and although a lot of parts are stripped it's pretty solid. And it's a three door, so fairly rare. I'm trying to decide if I have one more rebuild in me...

Yes those have a number of rust points. Uncle used to have a '69 pickup that needed cowls and cab corners,but still looked good everywhere else. Another thing about the panels; they were available in two different wheelbases. That was a thing on most of the previous generations of trucks, and not just GM trucks either.

These trucks were what people used before small pickup sized vans hit the seen. You could get larger vans..
