1967 Chevrolet Pickup & Suburban Fact Sheet

The Stepside models also had an all-new cab and sheet metal, giving the same advantages of lower exterior height and length, greater interior roominess, improved forward visibility, advanced safety features, better resistance to rust and corrosion, as the Fleetside pickups. Stepside bodies are con­tained between the rear fenders to provide a completely unobstructed load compartment. Floors are of durable select wood with recessed steel skid strips.

Wedge-type anti-rattle latches keep tailgate securely closed and minimize leakage of bulk cargo such as grain or sand. Rubber­ covered support chains hold tailgate in open position to handle long loads. Stepside pickups were offered with either conventional 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. All versions were available with 6½- or 8-ft. bodies and had the same chassis features as corresponding Fleetside models. A 9-ft. body is also offered on a 30 Series chassis with leaf-spring rear suspension and a maximum GVW rating of 7,800 lbs.

The sixth-generation Suburban and Panel debuted alongside the “Action-Line” generation of C/K trucks. Growing in size over its International Travelall rival, the Suburban moved from a 115.0″ to a 127.0″ wheelbase that was used by pickup trucks with 8-foot beds. A 3⁄4-ton C-20 Suburban was introduced for the first time. 4×4 K-10/K-20 models were also offered.

In a configuration distinct model vintage, Action-Line Suburbans were configured with a single driver-side door and two passenger doors. The rear-wheel-drive Suburban was also available as a panel truck for commercial purposes.The panel version could be had with either a closed rear section with no windows or with windows similar to the Suburban. The Panel had no side doors. All Panels, regardless of side windows, had windows fitted to the rear doors, unlike the Suburban, that had a station wagon-like rear hatch.

The Action-Line Suburban/Panel shared a large amount of mechanical commonality with its pickup-truck counterpart, sharing the same powertrain offerings. A 250-CID I-6 was standard, with a 292 CID I-6 offered as an option. 283 and 327 CID V-8s.

Advanced engineering and redesigned power train con­figurations, reduced overall height by five inches while still retaining the normal transfer case to keep ground clearance of 12½ inches. In order to accomplish this, Chevrolet engineers relocated the 2-speed transfer case to a higher position and attached it directly to the transmission.

Cab and sheet metal are identical to that of Fleetside pickups. Frames however, are of heavier gauge steel to withstand the punishment of off-road use. Front and rear leaf­ spring suspensions were of the new weight-saving tapered leaf type which reduced inter-leaf friction and provided a smoother, more even ride. The Chevrolet 327 CID V-8 was offered for the first time. Three Fleetside and three Stepside pickup models are available with 4-wheel drive.

3/4-TON COMMERCIAL – MODEL C & K/SERIES 20 – SIX and V-8: Trucks in the Chevrolet 20 Series 3/4-ton line had the same styling and trim changes as 1/2-ton trucks. For 1967, Suburbans and Panels were introduced in this line. They had the same dimensions as comparable 1/2-ton models, but with heavier chassis components. The model identification emblems had a bow tie emblem and chrome number 20. There were Step­ Side and Fleetside Pickups were in this series that featured the 8-ft. pickup box.  The four-wheel drive 3/4-ton models in the 20 Series had a K25 model prefix.
