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.

2017 GMC Acadia comes into focus

Tue, Jan 20 2015

The future slate of crossovers from General Motors reportedly ride on the company's new, scalable Chi platform. With short- or long-wheelbase configurations possible, the chassis conceivably allows the automaker to be more adaptable in the configuration of its CUVs. Cadillac already appears to be testing Chi for the luxury brand's future SRX/XT5, and here it is again under heavy camouflage underpinning the next GMC Acadia. Unfortunately, the Acadia is so well concealed here that it's extremely difficult to pick out any of the styling changes, though the squared-off fenders and faint GMC logo peaking through the tape on the front wheels reveal what this vehicle is. Up front, the grille appears to sit somewhat lower than the current model, and the vertical LED running lights are easy to pick out. The orientation of the taillights through the camo suggests wraparound units not too dissimilar from the current Acadia (or is that Saturn Outlook?). The next-gen Acadia is expected to debut in 2016 as a 2017 model year vehicle. The powertrain options may include the current 3.6-liter V6, a four-cylinder and possibly even a turbo V6, and GM's new nine-speed automatic might also be for offer. With a year before the reveal, take a look at these photos for a first look.

2017 GMC Acadia loses 700 pounds, gains everywhere else

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Acadia. The 2017 version of the three-row GMC crossover has all kinds of newness. The 2017 Acadia has lost 700 pounds compared to its predecessor thanks to high-strength steels allowing redesigned parts, and the fact that it overall, the vehicle is actually smaller. Length is reduced by 7.2 inches on a wheelbase diminished by 6.4 inches, it is 3.5 inches narrower and sits 3.9 inches lower. The 2016 Acadia was 4,656 pounds, the 2017 is 3,956 pounds. GMC says it will still swallow people, but not as many: the eight-passenger option didn't make the transition, potential three-row trims permitting five-, six-, and seven-passenger configurations. While you lose space, you gain convenience with a split-folding second row featuring tilt-and-slide for both sections. The third-row seats fold flat into the cargo floor, and if the second row is folded as well, cargo capacity improves over the 2016 Acadia, 79 cubic feet compared to 70 cu-ft. A new 2.5-liter four-cylinder brings a second engine option to the spec sheet, returning an estimated 22 city miles per gallon and 28 highway mpg with the help of stop/start tech on front-wheel-drive trims. The new 3.6-liter V6 gets around 310 horsepower, a power bump of about 19 hp, and an estimated 25 highway mpg in front-wheel-drive guise. Towing capacity for that V6 goes down, though, from 5,200 on the current Acadia to an estimated 4,000 pounds. The optional Tow Vision Trailering system will make that pulling easier. Both engines are hooked to a six-speed automatic. Now we can get to its looks. Trademarks like the square, flared wheel arches, dark D-pillars, and wraparound rear side windows made the transition, everything else is new. While weight has gone down, safety's gone way up with internal changes like the splayed chassis members to confront the small-offset test. New active safety upgrades run from from three kinds of automatic braking systems to surround vision cameras, automatic high beam control, a safety alert seat, and a following distance indicator. Buyers can choose from a front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or All Terrain model, each with its own electronic drive selector modes. The Normal, Sport, and Trailer/Tow modes are common to the trio. The FWD gets a Snow mode, the AWD adds adaptive 4x4 and Off Road modes; on the AWD, the 2x4 mode disconnects the rear axle from the drivetrain.

2019 GMC Sierra 1500 taillights revealed in teaser

Wed, Feb 28 2018

With just one day before the GMC Sierra's reveal, GMC decided to show one last teaser of the full-size pickup truck. This time it shows the tail of the truck. And, by that we mean just the taillights and the badge, and playing with Photoshop revealed nothing else. The same goes for a profile-view teaser released slightly earlier than the rear-view image. Still, this is the clearest look we've had of the Sierra's rear lights, and they have a similar wrap-around element, possibly LED-lit, to that of the smaller GMC Canyon. It also looks like the lights will look wider from the rear than those on the Silverado, mainly because the GMC's lights don't have an indentation in the middle. GMC also released a teaser of the truck's profile. Both the head and taillights wrap farther around the sides than on the Silverado. The headlights are also less square than the outgoing Sierra, giving the truck a slightly sleeker look. We'll see the whole truck and get details on what powers it on March 1 when it's fully revealed. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
