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.

GM to invest $150 million in Flint to boost heavy-duty pickup production
Thu, Jun 13 2019FLINT, Mich. — General Motors President Mark Reuss said on Wednesday that the automaker is investing about $150 million at its Flint Assembly plant in Michigan to boost production of heavy duty trucks by another 40,000 vehicles a year. Reuss announced the investment at the Flint truck assembly plant wearing a United Auto Workers pin. The Detroit automaker had announced back in February it was adding 1,000 jobs in Flint to build a new generation of heavy-duty pickup trucks. GM did not say that the latest investment would add more jobs at the plant, but Reuss said there could be opportunities to add workers as the launch of the automaker's new trucks progresses. GM has been under pressure from President Donald Trump and lawmakers of both parties to add jobs in the United States after it said last November it would idle the Chevy Cruze assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and likewise had no new products for three other U.S. manufacturing plants. The Flint investment will include upgrades to the plant's conveyors and other new tooling, and will be completed in the first half of 2020. GM has invested more than $1.6 billion in the plant since 2013. Last month, GM said it would invest $24 million to increase truck production at its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands have long trailed Ford's F-series heavy duty trucks in the lucrative segment. The new Chevrolet and GMC heavy duty trucks have been re-engineered to tow heavier trailers, and keep pace in what has become an arms race among the Detroit Three automakers to claim superior torque and towing capability.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues
Thu, Sep 13 2018DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:
