I've seen it in every version of a pickup, and 1 Blazer that was factory. Oddly, I've never seen a single "factory" manual trans Suburban in person.

Fwiw, I have a friend that used to own a '90 3/4 ton Sub w/ 350, 4spd & 241.

I also had a 1978 K20 suburban that was a 350/4peed 4wd years ago

You're right, that is odd.

I briefly had an '80 Suburban for parts, it was a C10 with the sm465.
