At first I was thinking “how the hell am I gonna sit through a 31 minute video of a old suburban?” Then when they were saying their salutations, I’m like “Noooooo! That can’t be it!” As an old lightbar collector, I enjoyed the equipment in the shop. Great video!

I used to run a '67 K/10 Suburban, [454/TH350/NP205/12-Bolt 3.73 Rear -- on 33x12.50x15s] back in the '90s. It was nuts in a slip or spin. Once, i was driving too fast on snowpack at a ski area, and plowed the nose 3 feet into a snowbank. No damage, just snow. After that I put an Auburn Posi on the rear. Then it was a tank. Saving the chassis. I will ressurrect it when I retire.

454 came out in 1970, and was backed up by a TH 400 Turbo-Hydramatic 400. I'm not sure what year a 454 Big Block went into a K-10. I believe the 402/396 was available in K20 Suburbans.

@@gruntengr4197 Obviously not the original engine. Since there is very little called out on the SPID, I'm assuming it was equipped in Fremont with a V8 283/SM420/T221/3.73 powertrain. The PO redneck-engineered a 454/TH350/NP205 into the beast. It sure went fast. Fuel economy -- not so much. And it didn't like to stop. Sometimes it was a situation of Select Alternate [Soft ]Target. The beauty of General Motors' designs in this period was the vast array of interchangable components.

HOWEVER on second thought There is adapting Rotary with LED Tech So what you're suggesting does have merit.

I miss those CHP Inspection stickers! As a kid I remember the CHP would post up on a street and pull cars in to check Lights, Turn Signals, Tires and Registration. When you passed inspection, you'd get the sticker placed in the lower corner of the windshield on the drivers side. Now the Inspections are only done for Commercial Vehicles and the sticker is placed in the lower corner of the windshield on the passenger side.

Excellent video! I lived in Pennsylvania, there was a guy that happenchance own a state police mustang 5.0 from 1988. He always showed up at car shows. The kicker was he is also a state cop too! he too, like you went through many hurdles trying to find original parts. Back in 1988-1990ish parts were interchangeable with crown victorias and chevy caprices such for mountings, but the items were somewhat one-off different. the cb system, boosters and such were mounted INSIDE trunk while the wiring went into a slave box which was inside the original radio bay. so it wouldn't stick out. the driver wouldn't skin his knuckle alive trying to change gear. there was no shotgun mount in the mustang. However the mustang was beefed up. about 350 horsepower, (which was a lot back in 1988) the original power was 225 maybe? had one row blue lightbar. side spot lights. cb's, antennas, extra battery packs, walled off rear compartment with wire cage, it was a cool sight

We did our own servicing and repair of all the microwave, terrestrial radio and data terminal equipment in the cars. stations and the dispatch center. Even back then we were installing several hundred pounds of equipment in the police and fire vehicles.

Some CHP Sgts and Lts carried Mini-14 rifles in their cars in the 1980's, STO's didn't get Mini-14 rifles until the late 1980's. They also switched to the S&W 4006 (.40 S&W) semi-auto around 88/89. The shotgun was a Remington 870 mounted on or next to the transmission tunnel in the front. The main CHP cars in 68-70 were Polaras with 440 engines. When the Polaras accelerated out of the SF office onto the Bay Bridge ramp, they'd strip the bias-ply tires off the rims and flipped a car or two. They were instructed to get on the freeway slowly. This truck from the same era may have seen the slick track too, as the CHP Academy used a skid pad / track in the late 1960's. You were rated for track speed both in forward and reverse.

@@driveway_finds I watched the videos of when you first got it. I dont think yours is the one I saw. Even adding the 20 + years its been since I looked at it , the one I saw was in much better shape. The doors and roof were still white , the body was not rusty at all , the seats were still in pretty good shape , it still had the original rear bumper , wheels ,whip antenna , front bumper push bars and spotlight. Yeah its debatable that time and people could of made the changes , but I definitely dont remember seeing the hand written numbers on it. I went back and looked at my records of when I bought the ford and it was September of 2003. The guy I bought it from had everything advertised in hemming's motor news (where I found the ford). There is a chance that the suburban was also advertised as well. You may want to look into the hemming's archives from months before that and it may turn up a lead for more info on it?? Ive been trying to remember the guys name but cant. It was definitely in Colfax Ca. way back in the woods.

@@p71collector they are allowed to drive that old suburban anywhere they want. The law prohibiting vehicles from resembling a law enforcement vehicle does not apply to vehicles which were first registered before Jan 1, 1979. Look up CA vehicle code section 27605(b). Edited to add that they obviously wouldn’t be able to drive around with the red light flashing like you pointed out.

The rotating beacon itself wouldn't even be sufficient for emergency vehicle lighting in California. If it were an actual emergency vehicle in use in California, it would have to have a functioning steady red light showing on the front of the vehicle. ​@@driveway_finds

Not an old vehicle story, but a few days ago I was driving on the TransCanada Highway in Nova Scotia and I see a blacked out Ford Explorer with a light bar behind the front windshield and a Chevrolet Tahoe. Also blacked out. I thought it was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but no. It was just some everyday people. The wheels were not even steel.

[10:37] Sweet! Antenna Specialists spring and ball mount. It's crazy, but I think I still know the part number. It's M-3AD. A/S was top of the line for Ham/CB comm gear. Still have a ball mount and spring on the Driverside rear Step fender of my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside. [Possible CalTrans surplus...] I have an antenna on it, but I haven't gotten a working CB to stick in that truck yet.

@@redtra236 Maybe in commie states? As long as they leave it secure, they should be fine regarding being drawn on. Definitely will extend the traffic stop. Probably should just hide the replica in the back or wrap it up until they are displaying the vehicle. Leaving the replica stowed will cause too much drama with both the criminal element smashing in the windows to steal it and extend a law enforcement traffic stop since in most/some true American states outside Commiefornia, only permit a handgun to be available for CCW/CHP purposes, and nothing else.

Cool that you scored some time period & old school parts from them ,its getting harder to find time period parts ,i got a extensive time period parts collection of NYPD lights,full lightbars ,sirens,brackets & mounts as well as the radio equipment from the 80's- 90's as well as lights from the 50's thru early 2000's, alot of the film production & movie car facilities buy ,rent or sometimes borrow lights or equipment from me ,chances if you seen a old police car 🚔 in a flick or TV show, it might be my lights on it
