    If it has a 270 engine, more than likely it's a replacement. The hydro has a serial number that will match the factory 248'' engine #, so check it ... the more options your truck had, the more unusual & unique. DeLuxe cab, E-Z-Eye glass, radio, clock, electric wipers, turn signals are often seen.

    Best sources of info posted. I have a 55.1 suburban factory hydramatic also. Unfortunately the original drivetrain is long gone. What exactly are you wanting for info?

    67-72chevytrucks.com. There are 4-5 guys building these right now.
    They only made 1 suburban in 55 unlike the trucks
