I am listing this for a friend so please contact Mark @ 262-995-8904 for all inquiries or questions. I will describe vehicle to the best of my knowledge and with over 100 photos, I strive to put out an ad that doesn't leave many questions to the condition of a vehicle. with that said.... I am listing this 1954 GMC suburban/carryall panel truck with a 248 ci 6 cylinder with hydraulic lifters, 1 bl carb and a 4 speed manual transmission. It states on the original VIN tag that it was certified with 115 hp @ 3400 rpm. True records are not easy to find on production of these fourth generation suburbans and it has been said that around 800 were ever made? How many have survived? And how many have been given a real frame off, nut/bolt restoration and has been in one family for almost its whole life? The truck you see here was purchased new by the Ziddell family. They lived in St. Joseph Missouri and owned a convenient type general store, where they sold candies, school supplies, cigars etc.. It was the delivery and errand runner for many years. As years passed the ole girl was retired and confined to a barn for nearly 40 years. It was after an estate sale around 2006 that it changed hands and was taken to Tennessse. the Possom Holler Garage took ownership and it sat another couple of years before a complete restoration was embarked upon starting around 2011 and finished spring of 2013. Pictures show it was still wearing its original paint and hand applied lettering. There are enough photos that document the writing and cigar symbols if one wanted to re-do all of that. It was stripped to bare metal, rust or dents were addressed properly and care was taken to restore it to a very high standard. One will notice the level of detail, whether it be the factory correct wiring,silver zinc plating on various fasteners and a mirror like basecoat clearcoat paint job. During the restoration the vin tag had to be removed and will go with the truck (a new one was used for the restore) and at that time it was discovered that the serial # was a 1007. That would equate to the 7th one off the assembly line!! The truck is as nice as they come and basic also. No power options and not many creature comforts as this was a work horse.It does at least have a heater that works. It is a clean palette so to speak and if one wanted to add seats or anything else, well that would be up to the new owner. Truck starts up with ease, just push the floor starter button down and there she purrs. It drives and handles as good as a 3/4 ton heavy truck with bias ply tires can. Take time to look hard at all the photos as I tried to capture the truck from every area. I personally am a collector as is the owner and also a restorer. I can't imagine the amount of time and material alone that went into a vehicle this large. The asking price would not even cover the restoration cost alone. Owner is only selling to make some room. and at 19' long it does have a large footprint. Vehicle is sold as is where is and he welcomes any inspections. It is located in Wisconsin and is about 20 miles southwest of milwaukee.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GM 6.2L EcoTec V8 rated at 21 mpg by the EPA

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

General Motors is already laying claim to best-in-class power for its new 6.2-liter V8 that will be offered in the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra this fall, and now it has released fuel economy numbers for the big engine. Available as an option on the Silverado LTZ and High Country (shown above) models as well as the the Sierra SLT and Denali trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will return 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway on rear-wheel-drive trucks; these numbers drop by one mpg each on four-wheel-drive models.
These estimates are in addition to the engine's 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and max trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds, and considering all that power it's not terribly far away from the fuel economy of GM's equally new 4.3-liter V6 and its rating of 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This announcement comes just days after a report indicated that GM is unable to keep up with the demand of the 5.3-liter V8 in the fullsize Chevy and GMC trucks due to supplier issues. GM's official press release for the 6.2-liter V8's fuel economy is posted below.

2021 GMC Yukon Denali adds another extra-luxe accessories bundle

Wed, May 20 2020

For the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali, GMC added a Denali Ultimate Package that combined every option already available with some 22-inch Midnight Silver rims. In 2020, GMC expanded build options for the Terrain with a Denali Premium Package, lumping together a couple of a la carte packages as an exclusive mix of features. The 2020 Yukon Denali configurator includes a lightweight Denali Premium Package, too, but for 2021 GM Authority reports the top-tier choices will expand to include an entry-level Denali Deluxe Package along with the Denali Premium and Ultimate options. The Deluxe Package checks the boxes for the Advanced Technology Package, Advanced Security Package, and the Rear Seat Media System. The long list of tech roped in with that trio includes adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, rear camera mirror and washer, interior movement sensors, glass break sensors, dual 12.6-inch rear seat-mounted screens, two HDMI ports, and wireless projection capability. The exterior showpiece is a quartet of 22-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint, affixed with wheel locks. Go with those rims and the Denali Deluxe Package costs $5,750, opting for a different set of wheels can drop the price to $3,775. On top of that, choosing the right combination of options to go with the Deluxe Package can lower the price another $500. The Denali Premium Package includes almost everything above, only omitting the Rear Seat Media Package. In place of the screens for back-seaters, the bundle installs a powered panoramic sunroof and power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting. Purchased with the 22-inch wheels, this assortment runs $7,000, or $5,025 with a different set of wheels. Here again, the right combination of additional packages can save $500. The Denali Ultimate Package combines everything in the bundles above, plus the Max Trailering Package that gets GMC's ProGrade Trailering System and high-capacity engine cooling. The price is $10,460 on a rear-wheel drive Yukon Denali, $11,255 on the four-wheel drive models. Choosing a different wheel only saves $1,000 in this case, and there's no extra discount available. The 2021 Yukon is expected to enter production next month at GM's Arlington Plant in Texas, Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
