Oak Creek, Wisconsin, United States

I am listing this for a friend so please contact Mark @ 262-995-8904 for all inquiries or questions. I will describe vehicle to the best of my knowledge and with over 100 photos, I strive to put out an ad that doesn't leave many questions to the condition of a vehicle. with that said.... I am listing this 1954 GMC suburban/carryall panel truck with a 248 ci 6 cylinder with hydraulic lifters, 1 bl carb and a 4 speed manual transmission. It states on the original VIN tag that it was certified with 115 hp @ 3400 rpm. True records are not easy to find on production of these fourth generation suburbans and it has been said that around 800 were ever made? How many have survived? And how many have been given a real frame off, nut/bolt restoration and has been in one family for almost its whole life? The truck you see here was purchased new by the Ziddell family. They lived in St. Joseph Missouri and owned a convenient type general store, where they sold candies, school supplies, cigars etc.. It was the delivery and errand runner for many years. As years passed the ole girl was retired and confined to a barn for nearly 40 years. It was after an estate sale around 2006 that it changed hands and was taken to Tennessse. the Possom Holler Garage took ownership and it sat another couple of years before a complete restoration was embarked upon starting around 2011 and finished spring of 2013. Pictures show it was still wearing its original paint and hand applied lettering. There are enough photos that document the writing and cigar symbols if one wanted to re-do all of that. It was stripped to bare metal, rust or dents were addressed properly and care was taken to restore it to a very high standard. One will notice the level of detail, whether it be the factory correct wiring,silver zinc plating on various fasteners and a mirror like basecoat clearcoat paint job. During the restoration the vin tag had to be removed and will go with the truck (a new one was used for the restore) and at that time it was discovered that the serial # was a 1007. That would equate to the 7th one off the assembly line!! The truck is as nice as they come and basic also. No power options and not many creature comforts as this was a work horse.It does at least have a heater that works. It is a clean palette so to speak and if one wanted to add seats or anything else, well that would be up to the new owner. Truck starts up with ease, just push the floor starter button down and there she purrs. It drives and handles as good as a 3/4 ton heavy truck with bias ply tires can. Take time to look hard at all the photos as I tried to capture the truck from every area. I personally am a collector as is the owner and also a restorer. I can't imagine the amount of time and material alone that went into a vehicle this large. The asking price would not even cover the restoration cost alone. Owner is only selling to make some room. and at 19' long it does have a large footprint. Vehicle is sold as is where is and he welcomes any inspections. It is located in Wisconsin and is about 20 miles southwest of milwaukee.

Hacker jury rigs Amazon Echo into voice-controlled remote start
Wed, Mar 30 2016A lot of automakers have smartphone apps to start, lock, or unlock a connected car. Some automakers will even let you do that with a smartwatch. Then, there's YouTube user Jryanishere, who decided to use Amazon's chatty Echo voice-controlled, internet-connected information thingy. Yes, we said thingy, because we aren't really sure how else to describe the Echo. While the Echo system has received a hearty ad campaign – featuring Alec Baldwin asking Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa, questions and ordering socks – we think this might be the first really useful thing we've seen it do. Using a MacBook, a Raspberry Pi, an Echo, an OBDLink plug-in, and his 4G LTE-equipped GMC, Jryanishere has basically made a voice-controlled remote-start system. Now, like so many voice-controlled things, this strikes us more of an extravagance than something that's functionally worthwhile. After all, the remote start on the a GMC keyfob isn't exactly rocket science. You can check out the Echo in action up top. Jryanishere gives a pretty thorough breakdown of how the setup works in the video above, but if you're at all into this sort of technological mischief, you'll want to watch (and check out the hilariously detailed blog explaining the job).

Watch the 2022 GMC Hummer EV launch using its Watts to Freedom mode
Thu, Jul 1 2021It’s nearly the July Fourth weekend, and GM is celebrating Independence Day a little earlier than most. The celebration comes in the form of a GMC Hummer EV demonstrating Watts to Freedom, or WTF, mode for us on video. You can watch it at the top of this post, but the idea is rather simple. ItÂ’s just a video of a Hummer development vehicle accelerating as quickly as it can from 0-60 mph and beyond. GMC claims its 1,000-horsepower electric Hummer is capable of hitting the 0-60 mph mark in “approximately 3 seconds,” which is borderline terrifying for how large of a vehicle it is. The super-quick time is possible when using the Watts to Freedom launch control mode, which “channels the propulsion systemÂ’s tremendous power into acceleration bursts.” The truck will still be plenty fast when accelerating normally, but WTF mode is what you should use to unlock its full potential. GMCÂ’s video shows us the graphics it uses in the digital cluster to signal Watts to Freedom is activated, and the whole sequence looks like it leans on U.S. military themes for both design and phrasing. For example, GMC lets you know that Watts to Freedom is ready via an “Armed” message in the cluster. The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos Instead of a rumbling exhaust and screeching tires, the Hummer appears to silently launch with all four tires grabbing on and catapulting the truck away. It looks quick as it throws all of the weight rearward into an accelerative squat. And in case you missed it, thatÂ’s a lot of weight — GMC says itÂ’ll tip the scale at 9,046 pounds. GMC has previously said that production will begin in late 2021, and this video continues to confirm that timeframe with a note saying “initial availability Fall 2021.” Do keep in mind that only the sold-out Launch Edition is coming at that time. Other cheaper variants will follow in the years to come. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2022 GMC Hummer EV shows off accessories ahead of SEMA
Thu, Oct 28 2021As is the case with nearly every new off-roader on the market, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV will have a bunch of accessories available for personalizing the big electric pickup truck. In fact, GMC says that the total number of add-ons is close to 200. But for the SEMA show, it's sharing just a few of what it says are the more interesting accessories. Quite a few of these parts will take you a long way to turning the Hummer EV into an overlander. The most obvious is the roof-top tent that utilizes mounts on the roof and the bed. It looks quite large and roomy. Naturally, auxiliary lighting is available, too, including a 50-inch roof light bar and two smaller spot lights that mount ahead of the A pillars. For storage, there's a nifty swing-out toolbox, shown in the gallery as more of a tackle box, plus a battery-powered cooler and a bed-mount for a full-size spare tire. There's also a more traditional bed extender and simple bed rail-mounted rack. And just for fun, you can get a Kicker audio sound system built into the MultiPro tailgate to listen to your music. Not all the accessories are about utility, though. There are some visual enhancements such as the red decals shown in the gallery. They match other decals and badges available, and they're offered in bronze, too. There are some branded puddle lights on offer as well. These should be available around when the Hummer EV pickup goes on sale next year. Pricing for each part will surely vary, though exact numbers haven't been announced.
