The fueling system was redesigned for 1979, and gained a true fuel cap door. Also the grille trim does not incase the front clear lens park/turn indicator lamps. If it has, and likely it does, the Turbo Hydra-Matic (hydraulically shifted automatic) transmission, you are looking at a permanent full-time four-wheel drive Suburban. Permanent full-time four-wheel drive K-Series pickup, Suburban and Blazer/Jimmy featured a third "interaxle" (center) differential which could be fully locked in either high or low range gearing. -- Last edit: 2017-06-16 17:04:55 (antp)
