Surburbans, Travelall and the like.

It dawned on me that the only truck size, dare I call them Station wagons, I ever remember seeing are Chevrolet and GMC Surburban

and International Travelall

Are there any other car manufacturers that went in on that line on auto design?

Just wondering!

Travelalls' are definately cool!

 

Love the T'alls but mine is O/T (1972).

A '57 - '59 Travelall could become a really cool custom.

 

one of my favorites. Kripfinks Ford: kripple kart

but I guess panels don't count because of the lack of windows??

 

Yea, I think he's talking about truck-based station wagons, not panels.

 

Great tow vehicles. I own a '72 Travelall 1110. Anyone ever see John Wayne's T-all???

I think I've seen a Dodge "suburban" DeSoto had its own Suburban model, not a heck of alot smaller than a fullsize truck

 

Dodge made the Town Wagon from 54-66, they did not sell very many. The 61-up models used the previous body design, not the new sweptline design.

 

I was thinking the same thing just yesterday. Kinda odd.

 

I've not seen anything like these, except GM and the Travelall. That Dodge is cool, didn't know they did that.
I guess Ford never did a Suburban-like wagon?

 

Yep. Dodge Town Wagons fall into that category. Too bad they were not popular and sold poorly (like many Dodge Trucks of that period). I have one but not this one.

 

The Willys Jeep wagons are pretty neat. They'd make a great rod, maybe not a natural custom.
Studebaker had a company that converted pickups, I think. Cantrell maybe?


EDIT: yup, Cantrell. Some of their beautiful conversions here:

Dodge had the Carryall during WWII> http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fightingiron.com/WC53CarryAll/WC53CarryAll-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fightingiron.com/FO-WC53DodgeCarryAll.htm&usg=__W2Po-imcAfKiepUNJztRFPjQd24=&h=600&w=800&sz=107&hl=en&start=4&zoom=1&tbnid=XHZunCsaXepFGM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=143&ei=nhJpTo7hGcPVgQek_p3EDA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dcarryall%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1
All the makings for a great family camping rig

 

I forgot about the WC Power Wagons.

Shame since I know someone who has one

 

So then there were 4! 5 if you count the Jeep.
Any more?

In South America you could buy a Chevrolet Veraneio

 

Why would you not count jeep? They had truck based wagons from the 40s through OT times.

 

I would think the ole 2 door Jeep Cherokee would fall more in line with the discussion here. Not sure if the Full Sized Jeep would be concidered a full size truck even though that is what they called it or was it the first oversized SUV?

I have one for Desert runs and love the old thing. But I never think of it as truck for some reason?

 

I guess you're all very right about the Jeep, but I guess I more thing of them as an off road vehicle!?! I know that the old models also came as a 2WD, but I think even those were more common as the 4WD versions, where the Chevys IH's and Dodge's were fewer and far between the 4WD's or am I completely misstaken?

 

When I was stationed in Germany back in the sixties we had a Dodge Carryall that I drove to and from the air port in Frankfurt.

 

Here is a GMC

 

Yes by percentage more Jeeps were 4WD than the others, But Dodge did have a Power Wagon version of the Town Wagon, and attached are pics of my NAPCO GMC and 2WD Jeep (unfortunately both need work):

 

Looking for a suburban or town panel for my biz...used to have a willys wagon...was great but not quite roomy enough for our needs

 

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=239 A group for Suburbans, panels,, and vans!

This is my o/t '71 Travelall with a Perkins T6.354 Diesel and a 5-speed w/OD! Love this beast to death! Great tow and support truck.

 

My '60 wagon... These two door wagons were made from '49 through '63.

 

Thank's for the link patrick66! Dosen't seem like too much is happening though!

 

I had a 46 Military 4X4 WC 26 with a 270 Red Ram Hemi.
Licence plate was, SEMI ATO.
It was in reference to the transmission, but you guys knew that
I have two 72 three door Suburbans.
O/T I know but I cant sellem right now.

 

I just brought home my old Willys wagon earlier today. I sold it to Rustynewyorker last summer, and bought it back to use as a plow vehicle. Its a 1955 with the supersonic flathead six.

 

51 willys im putting together to push the snow around up here in minnaSNOWta! its on a 77 blazer frame
