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.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.

2018 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 Drivers' Notes | Chrome cowboy

Wed, Dec 20 2017

No matter how much automakers want to charge for trucks, it seems there will be a market. Ford, Ram and GM all have trucks that can push well over $60,000, something that would sound unbelievable even 10 years ago. That brings us to the 2018 GMC Sierra Denali, GM's top dog in the pseudo-lux truck segment. It's packed with tons of goodies and features, but it's starting to feel a little long in the tooth. Still, GM trucks are some of the best selling vehicles in America, so it seems customers don't mind the age. Associate Editor Reese Counts: I've said it before, but I'm not a big truck guy. Give me a Colorado or Tacoma over any of the full-sized behemoths rolling off assembly lines today. Still, I do enjoy taking one home on occasion, especially one as comfortable and well appointed as this Sierra Denali. There's leather and wood and contrasted stitching throughout. The problem is that it's all a veneer over what's becoming an extremely dated truck, though a new one is on the horizon. There's one big thing that truly bothers me about this truck: no keyless entry or ignition. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem doing things the old-fashioned way, but when literally every other competitor at this price has keyless as standard equipment, the fact that GMC (and Chevy for that matter) still require you to pull out a fob and stick a key into an ignition is really glaring. It has to have something to do with the platform, as GM makes plenty of vehicles that don't require a key. One thing that doesn't feel dated is the ride and performance. This truck is equipped with GM's Magnetic Ride Control, and it works wonders for the Sierra's comfort. It would be even better if it wasn't wearing some gaudy 22-inch wheels, but it's still better than a lot of trucks out there. The powertrain, too, is a nice bright spot. The eight-speed automatic is smooth and never feels lost in the hunt for better fuel economy. The 6.2-liter V8 feels strong, and power comes on smooth and easy. Ford's EcoBoosts may win on fuel economy, but there's nothing like a big, burly V8. Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: Despite the massive amounts of guilt I feel every time I put my foot to the accelerator, big trucks — something of which I used to steer well clear Â— are beginning to warm up on me. That being said, others have made more of an impression on me than this Sierra.

2019 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup teased on Twitter

Mon, Feb 26 2018

GM's half-ton pickup line will be fully rounded up later this week when the new GMC Sierra 1500 is revealed. Though the unveiling is on March 1, GMC has provided a teaser of the new truck ahead of time on Twitter. It shows only the front fascia, but considering the Sierra's history of simply being a badge-engineered Silverado, it's arguably the most important angle of the truck. The teaser confirms a few things we were expecting based on past spy shots. The headlights look much more conventional than the Silverado's rather small units. The Sierra's grille, unlike the Silverado's, will also rise above the tops of the headlights, providing more of a big-rig appearance. We also finally get to see the GMC badge on the front of the Sierra, and it looks like it's an enormous rendition. As for the rest of the truck, previous spy shots have shown the Sierra will have other subtle styling changes from the Silverado. The wheel wells are shaped differently, and the taillights will be unique to the GMC. The interior of the new Sierra will look almost identical to that of the Silverado, with the exception of a few minor trim details. We also expect the Sierra to use the same engine lineup as the Chevy's, which at this point we know will consist of a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-six, and naturally aspirated 5.3- and 6.2-liter V8s.
