Up for auction is my 1966 GMC Suburban. It has a three speed column shift transmission I haven't been able to check

the engine with the VIN numbers but believe to be the original engine. I've found the engine is the later version 305E.

The design was for a strong torque engine with less speed ( 58 - 60 mph max ). The engine runs very well and starts every

time. Will need to have a complete tune-up which I haven't been able to get around to. It has no power steering, power

brakes. The brakes will also need to be gone through as it looses some fluid over time. It doesn't seem to have any engine

leaks that I can find.

Body :

There is one grape-fruit size dent on Lh quarter panel just in front of the rear bumper as shown in picture and has some of

the usual rust problems lower fenders behind wheel on both sides. Also rust in front of the rear wheels both sides lower

quarter panels. As shown in some of the pictures the hood also has rust issues around the seams and will need to be repaired

soon. Also rust / pitting at lower, center area on both sides of rear window. It seems a previous owner had it sanded and

primed in gray but never got around to applying the top coat. The front grill is getting pretty rusty particularly around the

headlights. The rocker panels on both sides will need to be replaced. Shocks need to be replaced.

Interior :

The condition is really excellent when compared to many suburbans of this era. Metal work is straight, clean and rust free.

The instrument panel has not been cut or chopped up. The seats were upholstered sometime in the resent past and are nice.

Passenger window operates while the driver window is difficult to roll down or up. No issues opening / closing the doors and

vent windows operate. The heater does not work and looks to have had an after-market AC unit installed however the condenser

has been removed with many other parts to the system. Side windows both have the locking clips. The floor is really solid.

The gas gauge does not work and I believe the temperature gauge also does not work. The speedometer works but kind of

"jumpy" also has some noise probably from the cable being worn out. Purchased period correct GMC AM radio.

Exterior :

Wipers barely work and will need to be repaired. Lights work with the exception of the turn signal switch in the steering column

and believe the cam needs to be replaced. Will need all weather strips replaced. Tires are pretty old.

I've driven it on short trips, maybe 6 mile diameter around my property. I wouldn't trust the brakes to go much further from my

house. Does have clear title. This vehicle does not have any type of warranty. Does not include spare tire. Crack in windshield

on driver side but does not impare vision.

This suburban is always a crowd favorite and gets a lot of attention any time I take it on the road. It will make an excellent

beginner to a complete, frame off restoration or for a relatively basic refurbishment. Things have changed for me and won't have

an opportunity to spend much time on it and have decided to sell to someone that will enjoy bringing " GUS " back to his former

glory.

I can possibly help with loading the suburban but transportation / shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

2023 GMC Canyon with ZR2-style off-road suspension caught in spy photos

Wed, Jul 7 2021

GMC appears to be testing its redesigned 2023 Canyon pickup with an updated suspension lifted from the ZR2 variant of its Colorado twin. This heavily camouflaged prototype packs what look like Multimatic's DSSV dampers disguised with a black vinyl wrap.Â Rumors have pointed to a GMC variant of the Colorado ZR2 since the midsize pickup adopted the AT4 branding for its off-road variant. GM appears to be ready to adopt the formula for GMC's more-upscale pickup as it has for the Silverado. The latter, which has now been officially confirmed, has been spied on the road with its own DSSV shocks disguised in the same fashion as those seen here. This prototype is riding high – even for an AT4 Â– and sports a set of knobby Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires. We can tell that this is a Canyon rather than another Colorado thanks to the GMC-style fog lamp design, which differs from the Colorado prototypes we've already seen testing. Like the Colorado, the redesigned Canyon is expected to be offered with just one engine: a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder lifted from the Silverado and Sierra pickups.Â Look for the Canyon to debut alongside its Chevy twin sometime in the next year or two as either a 2023 or 2024 model.Â Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra first pickups to ace updated NHTSA tests [w/video]

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

General Motors has just become the first pickup truck manufacturer to receive five-star overall vehicle scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program. The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles. This feat is made more impressive by the fact that both Ford and Ram have released brand-new trucks since the new testing went into effect - GM's victory is no technicality.
The rating only applies to the redesigned, light-duty Silverado, Sierra and their upmarket variants, High Country and Denali, respectively, while only Crew Cab variants were tested. Considering that the four-door body style will make up 60 percent of GM's light-duty truck sales, the exclusion of the other variants seems reasonable.
This news is sure to be yet another feather in GM's pickup-oriented cap. Be sure to scroll down for video of the crash testing, as well as the full press release from General Motors.
