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.

GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers

Fri, Oct 26 2018

Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:

GM announces $7 billion Michigan factory investment, most going to EVs

Tue, Jan 25 2022

GM announced a $7 billion investment in Michigan manufacturing, much of which is earmarked for EV production. Four sites are included, but the key elements are a new battery cell plant in Lansing and the conversion of GM's existing Orion Township facility to expand production of the forthcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV and its GMC Sierra sibling.  GM says it is the largest investment announcement in company history and that it will create 4,000 new jobs. It also says 1,000 jobs will be retained. "We are building on the positive consumer response and reservations for our recent EV launches and debuts, including the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Equinox EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV," said GM CEO Mary Barra.  GM says the Orion expansion and new battery plant will support an increase in full-size electric truck production capacity to 600,000 units. This is in addition to the Factory ZERO facility in Detroit that will also be constructing the electric Silverado and Sierra.  The Orion Township factory current builds the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, and will continue to do so during the plant's conversion. GM did not indicate what will happen with the Bolts once that conversion is complete or whether all will continue to be built at Orion. They do not use the Ultium vehicle architecture. GM will build other EV models at three other factories that are under construction or being converted. They are located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Ingersoll, Ontario, and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. GM says that it will have the ability to produce 1 million electric vehicles by 2025. The Ultium Cells Lansing facility is a $2.6 billion joint investment by GM and LG Energy Solution. GM says it alone will create 1,700 jobs once fully operational by late 2024. It will join two other GM Ultium Cells battery factories currently under construction in the United States, one in Ohio and the other in Tennessee.  Not all of the $7 billion investment will be for EVs. It also announced $510 million of the total will go toward upgrading the Lansing Delta Township Assembly to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Money will also go to upgrading Lansing Grand River Assembly.
