20-Years-Owned 1950 GMC Carryall Suburban

Description

Built to serve families and businesses alike, the GMC Carryall Suburban combined the rugged underpinnings of GMC's light-duty truck lineup with an enclosed three-row passenger configuration and generous cargo capacity. Long before the SUV became a fixture on American roads, vehicles like the Carryall established the template for versatile utilitarian transportation.

This 1950 GMC Carryall Suburban features two side doors and barn-style rear doors. The truck is powered by a 228ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Finished in two-tone maroon and cream over brown vinyl upholstery, the truck is said to have been with the owner for approximately 20 years. During that time, the seller reportedly had the head repaired, the clutch and rear main seal replaced, and work performed on the suspension and braking systems.

This 1950 GMC Carryall Suburban is now offered with some takeoff spare parts and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
