You want 4-doors? You gotta' get a Suburban, Wagoneer, or Travelall. Maybe a Land Cruiser but I'm not sure they were importing that style to the US at that time.

There were no Expeditions. The Bronco didn't even look like an F-150. I don't think the Ramcharger came until later in the '70s. Even if it did, neither the Bronco nor the Ramcharger came with 4-doors.

Armada was just something you learned about the Spanish Navy in history class.

Borrego was just a nonsense word. Durango was a place in Mexico.

And the idea of buying a full-size SUV at a Cadillac or Lincoln dealer would have gotten you laughed at.

My personal pick would be the Wagoneer. With a 360. They were so stylish that AMC didn't have to change anything but the shape of the headlights throughout the next 2 decades

Great trucks, probably my favorite body style from GM trucks. Unfortunately for us up north, rust has not been kind.

And the faux woodgrain side panels were timeless styling genious.....

I love those body styles. I would love to get one and restore it but they are crazy priced around here for a decent one.

I would. Love a power wagon with a 360 and a 4spd. Or a blazer with a 292 and 4 speed

I'll try to figure out how to post pics later and post some of my suburban. 1984 w/ 350,th400 auto and 3.73 gears. I'm hoping to drop a 4 speed in this summer. Along with headers and a holley carb and a cam. What should I do about the egr valve with headers? How does it hook up?


IMO I would save your money--no matter what you do, it's still a 6000 lbs vehicle, a battle you will not win

Actually the ***** 55 series made it here in small numbers. I don't know if they were "official" imports or gray market, but they did get here.

As stupid as they look, they are far more stylish than just about any 2013 SUV...
