The fifth-generation (1960-’66) Suburban was introduced by Chevrolet and made available to the public late in 1959 for the 1960 model year. The fifth generation came to an end after the 1966 model year, when the company introduced a new design for all of its trucks for the 1967 model year.

Chevrolet offered three engine options for the 1966 model year. A 292-cid inline six produced 170 hp. It was joined by two V-8s, the familiar 283 cid returned with its 175 hp, and a newly designed 327 cid with 220 hp was added to the lineup.

The standard transmission was a three-speed manual. A wide-ratio three speed and a four speed were optional for both sixes and the 283-cid V-8. All four engine offerings for the 1966 C-10 Suburban Carryall could be paired up with the optional Powerglide automatic transmission.

Had a pickup and van with that motor. I loved it, just a little grunt.

Our shop had 65 pickup, black. 3 on the column. No ac but had power steering lol. Nice driving and riding truck. Put a Thrush muffler on it, sounded like a farm tractor.
