Cool old 1965 GMC Suburban Custom 10 (half-ton) Carryall that has spent 31 of the last 33 years sitting in a field in the little farm town of Delta, Utah. It's all original, stock and complete other than the gas tank and radiator fan. The previous owner had it running (he drove it around the neighborhood) from a small fuel tank tucked in the engine compartment. The engine still turns over freely but I haven't tried to get it running.

The VIN is 1001PF10391A. I went online and found a link to a website that decoded it for me. Among other things, the link showed it's a light-duty (6000 pound GVW), short wheelbase (115") version with ambulance doors which is the most desirable body style.

The body is really pretty good. It has typical (but easily fixable) rust in some of the lower portions (see pics). All 4 steel inner fenderwells remain very solid. Marine-grade plywood was used by the factory as flooring in the rear and it's still in great condition. Passenger area floorboards have some small holes but nothing bad. Glass is good other than a two cracks in the windshield and one flat passenger side slider in the rear. Inner latch is broken on right rear door. Red and white paint is original. All hard-to-find trim is still there. Please ask for all my pics; they show everything including the undercarriage.

The running gear is all stock and original. That means a big 305cid GMC V6 running through a four speed manual transmission (GM-420?) to the Dana 60 rear differential (3 lug studs broken on right rear axle). Points, plugs, plug wires and distributor cap are new. Clutch works and transmission shifts easily. Brakes and steering are manual. Brakes don't work but wheel cylinders and master cylinder do not leak. A vintage trailer brake mechanism is visible under the dash and big booster rear leaf springs are visible underneath. It also has a beefy trailer hitch. I think this would be an awesome tow vehicle for a vintage trailer or hot rod. A small-block Chevy engine would be a bolt-in swap if you're so inclined.

The interior is in great, original condition. Dash is excellent with no cutting or butchery of any kind. All buttons, knobs, and switches are still there other than the ignition switch and 3 plastic HVAC lever caps. Even the original AM radio is still there (and it came with a vintage below-dash 8 track deck and speakers that I'll throw in). Headliner is in excellent condition. Windows roll up and down properly. Doors open and close properly as well. Original upholstery is rough in the front but can be used as a pattern. And again, floorboards remain in very decent shape (see pics).

This is such an awesome rig. It's all there and is wonderfully original. I hope she finds a home with someone who will treat her like the rare beast she is and perhaps bring her back to her former glory. Just my two cents.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. This sweet, rare, vintage, half-ton Suburban is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

REWIND: Watch the GMC Hummer EV live reveal right here

Tue, Oct 20 2020

It has been a long wait to see the GMC Hummer electric pickup truck, which was teased way back at the Super Bowl in February of this year. And that wait ends tonight at 8 p.m. eastern time when GM pulls the covers off the truck. You can see the whole reveal right here, or during the World Series on Fox or "The Voice" on NBC. For everything we know about the truck, go to our reveal post here. The truck should be impressive. GMC has previously announced it will have up to 1,000 horsepower, and it will have a variety of fun features such as removable roof panels and four-wheel steering that can move the truck sort of sideways with "Crab Mode." The GMC Hummer will also be available in pickup and SUV forms. So be sure to tune in tonight for one of the biggest (figuratively and literally) vehicle reveals of the year. And keep an eye on Autoblog for all the latest on the Hummer and other vehicles.

GM issues CUV stop-sale due to Goodyear tires [UPDATE]

Thu, Jan 22 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only 6,281 tires were installed on the CUVs, when in actuality, there were 6,281 CUVs affected by the stop-sale order, totaling 25,124 tires. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on some 6,300 of its Lambda platform crossovers due to a pending recall on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. The affected vehicles include all three flavors of GM's large CUV platform, consisting of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. Goodyear is recalling a total of 48,500 Fortera HL tires after discovering "very small" cracks in the tread, found during internal testing. Of the affected tires, 32,100 were made for GM, Goodyear told Automotive News. According to GM, 6,281 CUVs were fitted with the questionable rubber, totaling 25,124 of the company's 32,100 tires. The remainder were stocked as replacements, a GM rep told Autoblog. The remaining 16,400 tires were built specifically for the aftermarket. Goodyear reports that the cracks do "not indicate a safety issue." Meanwhile, a GM spokesman told AN that stop-sale "will eventually lead to a non-compliance recall by GM."
