Hello everyone, and thank you for looking at my auction.
Selling my favorite vehicle of all time only because I have started another magazine cover project truck.
This is the JUNE 2013 FOUR WHEELER MAGAZINE cover truck, IT IS ALSO THE 2 PAGE FEATURE TRUCK AND HAS A TOTAL OF 4 PAGES OF WRITE UP.
Senior editor in Chief of Four Wheeler magazine and 25 year veteran of the magazine Ken Brubaker printed in the article is this the " COOLEST BARN FIND EVER"...
Here are the details..
Very original 72 GMC Suburban factory 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive with its original blue and yellow CA plates on it. I have the original owners manual as well as some other original factory paper work.
I bought this truck from the original owner a few years ago and have been slowly working on it to bring it to the level which its at today.
The truck has its original small block motor in it which runs great, the only modification is a HEI conversion, it can sit for months and will start up every time.. the motor, interior and the body are where the originality stops.
List of all custom work done, all of which has less than a 1000 miles on it, we drove this Suburban to Johnson Valley from our shop in Burbank to the magazine shoot, put the truck through every obstacle that they had for us and drove it home, it made the 250 mile round trip effortlessly with 4 people and all of our gear.
Finally the list.
DANA 60 front differential with 4:56 gears and a custom POWER LOCK, the diff is all new, including gears, bearings, seals, rotors, brakes etc.. it also has a very rare set of SPICER HUBS ON IT. The front diff cover is a powder coated Fab Fours heavy duty cover and it looks awesome.
The front diff also has a double high steer steering set up with all GM Truck Center hand made super duty arm, and super heavy duty spring plates. The steering gear box is a new LEE manufacturing custom box built to handle any abuse. The set up is absolutely bullet proof.
I also eliminated the rag joint on the steering shaft and built a custom shaft adapted from a Ford F-350 for this truck.
The front suspension consists of custom made front spring hangers with custom made extra long springs and poly urethane bushings, the drive is amazing and the articulation is out of this world.
The rear axle is a extra wide Corp. 14 bolt also with 4:56 gears and a Detroit locker, with massive 1 ton drum brakes.. It is also all completely gone through and it also has a Fab Fours diff cover on it.
Rear suspension consists of a pair of super nice custom made 66" long high travel springs complete with a ORD shackle flip kit and custom hangers.
The truck has hydro boost brakes and it stops this massive rig on a dime.
The transmission is a new NV4500 5 speed manual with the compound low 6 to 1 compound low first gear and a 5th gear overdrive.
The transfer case is a freshly rebuilt NP 205 gear driven transfer case with a custom adaptor to the massive 5 speed manual trans.
Both front and rear drive shafts have massive 14 10 U-joints at each end, in case you didn't know thats the same size U-joints they use in school buses...
The interior is mostly stock, I custom made a tilt column for a manual transmission truck with no shifter knob, everyone is always amazed to see it.
All the gauges work other than the speedo, it was never a big concern.
The truck has a beautiful uncut dash.
The exterior of the truck is in good original shape, the fenders have had some trimming to clear the 37 inch tires. Don't forget the paint is original and it is not perfect.
The truck will come with a original set of BLACK powder coated steel wheels and GMC hub caps.
The current set of tires and rims consist of 17 inch black powder coated steelies with 37 inch TOYO MT's on them.
The Suburban also has a custom World Famous 4x4 ( our sister company ) front winch bumper complete with 1/2 inch bolted to the frame pull points and a just fully rebuilt/restored very hard to find WARN 8274 stand up winch, and a pair of 5 inch fog lights.
The rear bumper is also a World Famous 4x4 unit with 1/2 inch pull points and a receiver.
The set up is beautiful and very functional.
The Conferr roof rack has 4 forward facing PIAA harsh weather lighs and 2 PIAA rear facing work lights along with a High lift jack and folding shovel, fire extinguisher etc..
There is also a mounted stud for a spare tire and wheel which will come with the truck.
There are tons of other details but you get the idea, you can call me or email me if you need more info.
I have a clear CA title on hand and the truck is currently registered here in CA through 2014.
We will assist with any shipping help you might need. We have accounts with several shipping companies with our assigned agents.
I will require full payment within 3 working days of auctions end, so please have your funds ready before you bid.
This truck is being sold in AS IS condition.
Thank you for looking and good luck.

Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
Scroll down below for the complete press release with all the details.

With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.
