This is a 1973 GMC (same as Chevy) Suburban Sierra Grande, known to many as the "Macho Grande." This is the Suburban you've seen in Episode 8 and Episode 25 of the show called "Roadkill" on the Motor Trend channel of YouTube. Search "Roadkill Episode 8" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of footage of this truck. I should make it clear that this sale is from a private party, and not from Roadkill, Motor Trend, or the parent company, TEN. The truck is a two-wheel-drive 3/4-ton with a 454 big-block engine and a TH400 automatic transmission. It runs and drives very well, with all the mechanical stuff functional. According to the previous owner, who had the Suburban for 20-plus years and used it daily, it has 350,000 miles on it, and the engine and trans were rebuilt long ago. The engine has an Edelbrock carb, Edelbrock Performer intake, and Tri-Y headers that are probably Thorleys. It has enough minor oil leaks to leave a drip the size of a quarter overnight and it smells like burning oil when you drive it because it's on the header. The exhaust is in really good shape. The truck has front and rear air that is cold, though the front fan only barely blows. The previous owner changed all the air-conditioning hoses front to back. The cruise control also works. Since I have had it, I've installed a new alternator, plug wires, plugs, radiator, and brake pads. It also has 33-inch Mickey Thompson ATZ radial tires with maybe 3,000 miles on them and lots of meat left. The most annoying thing is that it will kill the battery overnight if you leave it connected, and I have not been able to find the draw. It has a trailer hitch and a trailer brake controller, and you can see in the Roadkill episode that we used it to tow a '55 Chevy from Los Angeles to Oregon and back. The rear springs are saggy, but it works. We got 10 to 7 mpg towing. The interior is pretty torn up, but the door panels are good. The body is amazingly rust-free; you can see a little orange bleed-through in the photos, but it comes off with Comet and a scrubby sponge. There's no rot-through anywhere. The body does have a lot of little dents, which you can see in the photos. The paint is all original except a very old touch-up on the driver door. Overall, this is a great daily truck as-is, and could be made even better if the front a/c fan would blow hard. I'd drive this cross-country right now. The only reason I'm selling it is that the fleet is just too large and expensive to store.

ALSO, I have a set of tan barn doors and most if not all of the hardware to install them. I'll throw them in with the Suburban if you want them.

2019 GMC Sierra 1500 taillights revealed in teaser

Wed, Feb 28 2018

With just one day before the GMC Sierra's reveal, GMC decided to show one last teaser of the full-size pickup truck. This time it shows the tail of the truck. And, by that we mean just the taillights and the badge, and playing with Photoshop revealed nothing else. The same goes for a profile-view teaser released slightly earlier than the rear-view image. Still, this is the clearest look we've had of the Sierra's rear lights, and they have a similar wrap-around element, possibly LED-lit, to that of the smaller GMC Canyon. It also looks like the lights will look wider from the rear than those on the Silverado, mainly because the GMC's lights don't have an indentation in the middle. GMC also released a teaser of the truck's profile. Both the head and taillights wrap farther around the sides than on the Silverado. The headlights are also less square than the outgoing Sierra, giving the truck a slightly sleeker look. We'll see the whole truck and get details on what powers it on March 1 when it's fully revealed. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

GMC introduces Canyon Nightfall Edition for the steathly and stylish

Thu, Jan 8 2015

It may be just now arriving at dealers, but the 2015 GMC Canyon has just received its very first special edition trim, although the stealthy Nightfall Edition is, in the greater scheme of aesthetic upgrades, pretty basic. GMC has blacked out the truck's grille and side steps, added a spray-in bedliner as standard, fitted new 18-inch "Dark Argent" wheels with black inserts, a polished exhaust tip, remote start and automatic climate control. Naturally, the Nightfall Edition is only available with Onyx Black paint. Customers interested in the blacked-out pickup will need to choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, although they'll be freed the burden of picking a trim level or body style, as the Nightfall is limited to the mid-grade SLE with the four-door crew cab arrangement. "The new Canyon Nightfall Edition expands the Canyon lineup and gives style-conscious customers another choice," GMC's vice president of sales and marketing, Duncan Aldred, said in a statement. "Importantly, customers get the great looks of the Canyon Nightfall Edition and its unique content at a greater value than ordering the features separately." GMC has not released any information about the price of the Nightfall Edition, or when it will arrive in dealerships. Scroll down for the full press release announcing the newest member of the Canyon family.
