I am in the market for an old pickup, an old Suburban will do as well.

Don't forget the big block and 4-wheel-drive. No replacement for displacement. Lockers on the differentials are a good thing, too. I've seen too many 4x4s get one wheel of each axle in the air and just sit there spinning the free wheels going nowhere.

I have always liked the idea of owning a full-size, early-1980s, 4x4, raised truck that appears to be a beater on the outside.
The engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and HVAC would all be modern with excellent functionality. It would make parking a breeze, too.
In the unlikely event of riots like Charlotte now, the big wheels and 4x4 would give an extra measure of safety. Ice, snow, and sand capability goes without saying.

Apply the brake sparingly, to create drag on the freely turning wheel, forcing some transfer of torque to the one on solid ground. Coordinate simultaneously applying brake pedal and gas pedal to maximize traction.
