I love the driver only door on driver’s side!
If Chad and I were ever going to start a limo service, buying this truck and rehabbing it would be on the top of the “list of stuff to do”. Hell, if I had any extra money, buying this thing and getting it road worthy would be on the top of my current “list of […]

Love it.. the ad is calling it a Suburban, but GM didn't make anything other than 1/2 ton short wheelbase Suburbans in that generation. They did however make a long wheelbase C30 panel truck, which is what this conversion is built on. This conversion uses windows similar to Suburban windows in general appearance with the sloped ends, but they are clearly aftermarket style with those big surrounding frames that the factory Suburban windows don't have. (I've owned several Suburbans and panels from this generation.)
That’s pretty neat. A lot of those were airport busses I think.
Absolutely what pretty much all of them were - airport limos, made out of any number of vehicles. Most of us have seen at least a couple made out of Checker Marathons ("yellow cabs") but they made them out of a lot more than that. To me what sets apart an airport limo from a traditional limo is the airport limos are usually "all doors" or at least "mostly doors" on the stretch area.
To clarify my comments on the Suburban windows, this is one of my old Suburbans, a '61 Apache 10. They only came in this half ton, short wheelbase, 2 door configuration - you could get 'em barn door or tailgate style, though. Note the difference in the side windows. That airport limo was built out of a C30 panel truck they stretched, added doors and windows to.
