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.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

GMC could have used Jeep's prized grille design on its born-again Hummer

Fri, Jan 31 2020

General Motors confirmed it's bringing the Hummer nameplate back on an electric, GMC-badged pickup by publishing a dark photo of its front end. The battery-powered drivetrain under the sheetmetal represents a tectonic shift, but we noticed another flagrant break with tradition: it wears six slot-like inserts instead of seven like on every previous Hummer and countless Jeeps. Adding an extra slot wouldn't have landed GMC in hot water. The seven-slot grille has historically been associated with Jeep, and the company proved it's willing to go to significant lengths to ensure another automaker — especially one it perceives as a rival — doesn't use it. Parent company Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) bitterly sued Mahindra over the Roxor's design, including its five-slot grille, and won in 2019, forcing the Indian firm to unveil a redesigned side-by-side for the 2020 model year. And yet, stylists would have very likely been able to get away with it on the Hummer. While General Motors owns Hummer, the brand traces its ancestry to 1970, when American Motors Corporation (AMC) purchased Jeep from Kaiser and changed the name of its General Products Division to AM General Corp. The division manufactured the rear-wheel drive, CJ-based DJ for the United States Postal Service and began developing the Humvee in 1979. Jeep and AM General went their separate ways when Renault began investing in AMC. Foreign companies weren't allowed to own defense contractors, and AMC had more to gain by gradually selling out to Renault than by keeping AM General, so it divested the division to LTV Corporation in 1983. Humvee production started shortly after, but no one protested its seven-slot grille because there was no risk of it stealing sales from a comparable Jeep model. It was manufactured exclusively for the U.S. Army, and civilian sales weren't planned. H2SUV View 4 Photos The original civilian Hummer released in 1992 must have raised more than a few eyebrows but, here again, it didn't directly compete with one of Jeep's off-roaders, so no one complained. It was huge, correspondingly expensive, and its portal axles made the YJ-generation Wrangler wet its pants. It's the H2 concept (pictured above) unveiled at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show that set off alarm bells in Auburn Hills. DaimlerChrysler's lawyers counted the slots in the chrome-plated insert that dominated its front end and shuddered when they reached seven.

GMC Terrain adds AT4 trim, completing the set

Wed, Jan 15 2020

"AT4 all of the things!" is GMC's new rallying cry, as the brand has announced that the off-road-themed trim level is coming to the GMC Terrain midsize SUV. The Terrain will join the just-announced 2021GMC Yukon and the 2021 GMC Canyon midsize pickup, both of which add an AT4 variant for the first time. The model designation was introduced on the Sierra full-size pickup for 2019, and spread to the Sierra HD and to the Acadia three-row crossover for 2020. AT4 content, however, varies widely by model. In the Sierra full-size pickup, the trim level brings a full slate of off-road gear including a two-inch suspension lift, a two-speed transfer case for the 4WD system, a locking rear differential, hill-descent control, Rancho shocks, skid plates, off-road tires, and more. The Acadia AT4, meanwhile, includes little more than standard AWD, black wheels and exterior trim, and all-terrain tires. It sounds like the Terrain AT4 will be closer to the Acadia in execution, with GMC promising a black-chrome grille and exterior design elements plus "confident capability and advanced technology." Hmm. The GMC Terrain AT4 doesn't arrive until the 2021 model year, which means this fall, so more specifics, including pricing, are still to come. But GMC couldn't wait to show the Terrain AT4, which completes the AT4 family photo seen above. Related Video:   Â
