The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Military GMC Suburban, very solid body and chassis, great build."


I have begun a restoration on it and I have all of the parts to put it back together with only a few exceptions. I have all new rubber, new interior and even begun paint and the exterior is clear-coated. I should note that I have all five original wheels for this and 4 original caps for it (the spare didn't have a cap). Only 3 rust spots of any importance I've found. The inner kick panel (passenger side), the rear door area and the passenger side fender (which is also dented, too easy to hammer out.)

I have all lights,mirrors, horns, handles, window cranks, nuts, bolts, etc. off and labled in bags. All new parts are still in original wrapping and in boxes. Most of the new parts are rubber and and trim. I also have detailed pictures of all of my work done. 

 I have a 235 Motor I'll include with the sale but is not original to the truck and is running, no transmission. Since this was a prior military vehicle the motor was pulled and there was no title, I have a bill of sale. In Texas, a vehicle can be titled to the motor becuase there weren't vin#'s for this year or any year until '63 I think. I may be wrong on that year. I only got this other motor rounded up as of yesterday so no title as of yet but I do have a bill of sale that is still in the Junkyards name. It is a reputable yard and I've never had any issues in the past. If you're really uneasy about all of that, I'll be more than glad to title it but the fee it cost is $250 (what it cost me). 

The GMC inner fenders were different from the Chevy, so I'm having a time finding one. This is not a part I've been able to find and the only part truly missing. Since there was a fog light attached to that fender I should note the fog light on there would need to be found as well, if you were planning on using it. I do have 2 fog lights but they don't match. 

I'm selling my dream ride here and I'm pissed off about it. But simply put, This is a GMC suburban, which aren't as common as the Chevy Suburbans as well as the rear seat(s) are jump seats that runs lengthwise rather than width-wise. You'll simply have to note the photos. I've not ever seen one like that before. I have videos and lots of pictures for you to reference when putting this back together as well as the fact that all of the nuts, bolts and parts I have are all labeled and bagged. 

Thanks for looking! Feel free to PM me with any questions that you may have, but I'm firm on my price and it's a bargin.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
