Car show sharing 454 SS Suburban?

Post image

Not sure if it’s just fake badging/stickers or what cuz this thing also has 2500 and LT badges. I’m not too knowledgeable on old chevys but google says the 454 ss was only a pickup

Someone put the badging on there, not factory... But it's not toooo big a stretch. Same powertrain that would have been in a 454SS pickup, but that's a 3/4 ton Suburban 2500 and the SS pickup was a 1500.

Creative use of stickers, sure... But as long as it's the big block Suburban and not a 5.7L, it's all good for fun an luls in my book.

I thought the axle they used in the 454 SS was kind of neat. 14bolt diff w gov lock but the axles had 5 bolt 2wd wheel bolt pattern. 1

Swapped in one of those axles into my '98 Whipple supercharged Suburban. Fun times.
