This is a very cool old GMC suburban. It is sitting on a 1972 short bed Chevrolet pickup frame. Thus it rides and handles much better than it did from the factory. It has a 350 V-8 with a 400 turbo transmission, and a 12 bolt rear end. Entire driveline is in very good shape and it runs out just fine. Power steering and power disc brakes. Tilt wheel. The tires are like new and are mounted on American Racing aluminum wheels. Personally, I do not care for the wheels and tires. The wheels have too much offset, and just do not look right for the truck. I do have a very nice set of 5 factory Chevy truck rally wheels that could with it for just $200.00 more. They are 6.5" wide with 4.25 back spacing, which would tuck them in under the fenders much better. I painted one red and set a spider cap and trim ring on it to give you an idea of how they could look. Add a set of wide white wall tires, lower it a bit, and the truck would take on a very different and much cooler look. The other 4 wheels are still original silver. No spider caps or rings included. The real leather seats are power 6 way seats that work just fine and have no splits or tears. They are a light putty color. The rear seat is out of an older suburban and would need to be recovered to match the front seats. Better to just find a newer suburban rear seat that already matches the front color. Should be easy to do. The rear carpeting and stainless steel bed strips are all new. The front floor was done up with hardwood flooring. Would not be my choice but done OK. It has a new headliner front to back, new tinted side windows, new window rubber seals. Windows all work as they should. Door locks work. Dash is nice. All gauges work including speedometer. Wipers and horn work. It has a complete new wiring system. The body is painted dark blue suede ( not shinny ) with pin stripe accents. It is not show but still very cool looking. You could actually shoot it with a clear coat if shinny is your preference. The body is very solid. I have taken a magnet all over the body and cannot find any body filler anywhere. I believe it to be an all original and rust free body. New foot wells have been welded in. The underside is very solid. Only found 2 very small areas where panels were welded in front floor pans under where your feet would be, ( about 6" in diameter each ) and there are still 2 small areas in each corner of the back area near where the bumper brackets come through that could use some repair work. Nothing major or structural. All original body mounts are solid and in great shape. All in all, this is a solid, rare, and desirable truck that is ready to go to the next level, drive as is, or take it down a notch to make a rat rod out of it. It appears to have been a light blue originally, so some light color sanding on high points could easily turn it into a very cool rat rod. Use it to pull around your gasser, hot rod, race car, street rod, or whatever in style. Throw your company name on the side and go have some fun. NO TRADES NO TRADES NO TRADES For those of you over seas; I have sold quite a few cars to guys in Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, etc. so I know how that works. Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a car that I would not be interested in. I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will call you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction. I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying a vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on. If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or zero feedback, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership. Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave |

GM planning to put its fullsize pickups on a big diet, too
Fri, 19 Jul 2013General Motors is just coming off a complete redesign of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra for 2014, but in the US fullsize truck market, there is no rest for the weary. According to Reuters, plans are already unfurling for both trucks to drop pounds from their curb weight over the next few years, but this will unlikely be able to keep pace with the 700-pound diet targeted for the next-generation Ford F-150, a truck expected to debut late next year.
The biggest weight reduction for these trucks might not be available until the next full redesign, which will likely happen around 2019, but the article says that smaller updates could shave pounds in the meantime. Two examples given include an "aluminum-intensive" version of the Silverado that could shed 250 pounds and debut around the same time as the lighter-weight, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford, and there is also talk of reducing weight for driveline components such as axles and driveshafts. These changes are all part of an attempt to meet strict new fuel economy standards coming in 2017, targets which will get even tougher in 2025.
GM phasing out light-duty 1500-series vans
Mon, 16 Jun 2014In the market for a fullsize van but don't need a heavy-duty model? You're in the minority, and you're also out of luck. That's because there are barely any more fullsize vans on the market with gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,500 pounds, the threshold that separates light- and heavy-duty vans.
According to PickupTrucks.com, neither the Ford E-Series, Ram ProMaster, nor Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are available in light-duty versions. Few of the Ford Transit configurations are, either, and now General Motors is discontinuing production of the 1500-series Chevy Express and GMC Savana.
Apparently light-duty versions accounted for just 23 percent of Express sales and only 7 percent of Savanas. Add to that the fact that these 1500 versions were the only ones using the old generation of engines and suspension, and that the Wentzville plant near St. Louis, Missouri, is trying to make room for the next Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups, and the fate of the light-duty GM van was sealed.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
