Guess our favorite would have to have been our 1976 3/4 GMC Subruban. Was as I understand it, a made for Cananda version. Still had regular gas neck in the 55 gallon gas tank, but had U.S. guage pack. Leaded gasa 454 with a 6 qt pan, 2 qt oil cooler, factory transcoolers and 400 turbo. Changed out the 4.11 to a 3.73 from a GM motorhome. Towed an open trailer with our 4000 # stocker and related parts with ease. Got around 10 mpg towing and got as high as 13 mpg just driving. And would run with the big dogs of the time.....and best of all Ohio called it a station wagon per the title. They were not considered a truck. 16 1/2 wheels, large swing out tow mirrors, big reese hitch,factory electric braking for trailer, and even being built on a 1 ton chassis, was told by the state to stay off their scales.
