1950 Chevy Suburban. I found this truck in Northern California about 8 months ago. Pretty decent truck. The seller bought it from Utah. It was found in a dry Nevada salvage yard and spent it's time being customized in Utah before being sold to my seller in NorCal. It was a running truck that was driven from Utah to California.
When I purchased the truck it was not running. It had an electric fuel pump that gave out. So it sat for over a year until the guy decided to sell it. He processed the paperwork and was able to title it in California. It currrently has a clean title and is registered to me today.
This is what I found from my inspection and the little paperwork that my seller had.
Chevy 350 engine, 700R4 transmission, B&M converter lock up control. Edelbrock 650 carb, Edelbrock intake manifold, HEI ignition, new wiring harness front/back, Powersteering, power disc brakes/ rear drum, Electric fan. Speedo, oil pressure, volt gauge works. Temp and fuel gauge not working. S10 factory brake booster, master cylinder, proportion valve. Factory S10 front swaybar. No sender unit in gas tank but wired. 14 inch steel wheels with a flipper hubcap. It was super low.
1990 S10 front subframe welded to a 1967 Chevelle rear frame with a factory 10 bolt rearend. E/brake not hooked up.
Body in good shape for it's age. Still has rust in the inner rear fenders, no inner front fenders, rear bumper brackets were welded to the stock chevelle frame to mount the bumper, no top support to tie in the front clip. A combination of cheap paint with actually cool graphics throughout. Wood headiner and running boards. Running boards have supports welded directly to the frame. Wipers do not work. Underside not restored. New side glass, rear barn door glass and window seals. Bear claw latches on both front doors that need adjustments. Passenger side door latch is stuck. Driver glass is cracked. Rear latch is factory and barn doors are working properly. Only front seat, home style cut loop carpet w/heat shield material undeneath. Seat upholstered in metal flake gold with inside panels to match. Side panel material is coming loose. Some type of factory import guages that fit directly into the stock two pods. They are sitting in the dash but not secured. Speedo has KPH and MPH fonts. And appears to look like a chevrolet spript from an early valvecover fabbed into the dash. Wow that is cool. Metal flake silver steering wheel.
Once I got it back to my shop on a flatbed. I let the burb sit for about 3 months until I started to fix, clean up and add parts to make the truck safe and reliable. I have 2 kids and a wife that can give me the dirtiest look if what she's riding even coughs on the road. So to avoid the evil eye it had to be run properly.
This is what I have done so far on this running truck. I replaced the electric fuel pump with a mechanical pump, new battery, plug wires, Holley 650 carb, cadillac style air cleaner, trick stock style valvecovers in superflake gold with plug wires routed through the cover to the back towards the HEI instead of the Oldsmobile rocket covers that routes the wires to the inside of the intake. A much cleaner look and has never been done in this way. Yes everyone will flip when they see it. Also has a set of original "Royal" script car emblems mounted. Cleaned up engine compartment wiring, reinforced front clip (not perfect but functional), secured fuel tank with steel straps, new front Monroe shocks, new rear Monroe shocks, completed gas filler hose into tank, factory steel wheels 15x5 with new Michelin 205/70-15 in front and 15x7 with new Michelin 225/70-15. All matching tires. Wheels painted in oil rubbed bronze. Mounted and computer balanced. New Spider center caps. Installed a good used set of flowmaster mufflers with turndowns in front of the axle (previous were straight pipes).
Now the truck is presentable and can run in and around town. The work will need to continue but can be driven today. The truck is looking for a competent fabricator, body person or mechanic that can add their touches. Please do not expect a perfect truck. And please have the understanding of what your buying. It's not a field or barn find truck. It's not a shell for $3500 with no title or a full blown restoration for 45K plus. It's suited for a guy that has mechanical skills and can continue to refine it on their time. This is not the kind of truck to bring it to a Firestone tire shop and have a mechanic work on it. This is not the truck to do a full restoration back to stock.
I have disclosed as much as I know and what I have done. It's worth the effort because these trucks have vanished. My reason for moving this truck to the next owner is that I found my holy grail. A 1937 GMC 1/2 pick up already converted with late model drivetrain and an hour away. I'll ditch my wife and take the kids to the pool in a 37.
Thanks so much for looking at my auction and feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Suggest to have the vehicle transported. This is not fly in and drive out. This truck is being sold with no reserve. Yep bid to win. Will be advertised locally and can be sold before the auction ends.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."
