Hello everyone, and thank you for looking at my auction.  


This is the JUNE 2013 FOUR WHEELER MAGAZINE cover truck, IT IS ALSO THE 2 PAGE FEATURE TRUCK AND HAS A TOTAL OF 4 PAGES OF WRITE UP.

Senior editor in Chief of Four Wheeler magazine and 25 year veteran of the magazine Ken Brubaker printed in the article is this the " COOLEST BARN FIND EVER"...

Here are the details..

Let me start by saying that this truck is one of the most amazing and capable streetable off road trucks ever, it basically goes where you point it without hesitation and tackles all obstacles with ease, when we took it out to Johnson Valley for the magazine shoot we cruised right by several pro rock buggies that were struggling to go over the rocks the look on their face was awesome.....

Now about the truck.  

Very original 72 GMC Suburban factory 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive with its original blue and yellow CA plates on it.  I have the original owners manual as well as some other original factory paper work.

I bought this truck from the original owner a few years ago and have been slowly working on it to bring it to the level which its at today.

The truck has its original small block motor in it which runs great, the only modification is a HEI conversion, and a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.  It can sit for months and will start up every time.. the motor, interior and the body are where the originality stops.

List of all custom work done, all of which has less than a 1000 miles on it, we drove this Suburban to Johnson Valley from our shop in Burbank to the magazine shoot, put the truck through every obstacle that they had for us and drove it home, it made the 250 mile round trip effortlessly with 4 people and all of our gear.

Finally the list.

DANA 60 front differential with 4:56 gears and a custom POWER LOCK, the diff is all new, including gears, bearings, seals, rotors, brakes etc.. it also has a very rare set of SPICER HUBS ON IT.  The front diff cover is a powder coated Fab Fours heavy duty cover  and it looks awesome.

The front diff also has a double high steer steering set up with all GM Truck Center hand made super duty arm, and super heavy duty spring plates.  The steering gear box is a new LEE manufacturing custom box built to handle any abuse.   The set up is absolutely bullet proof.

I also eliminated the rag joint on the steering shaft and built a custom shaft adapted from a Ford F-350 for this truck.

The front suspension consists of custom made front spring hangers with custom made extra long springs and poly urethane bushings, the drive is amazing and the articulation is out of this world.

The rear axle is a extra wide Corp. 14 bolt also with 4:56 gears and a Detroit locker, with massive 1 ton drum brakes.. It is also all completely gone through and it also has a Fab Fours diff cover on it, and a pair of our super heavy duty custom spring plates.

Rear suspension consists of a pair of super nice custom made 66" long high travel springs complete with a ORD shackle flip kit and custom hangers.

The truck has hydro boost brakes and it stops this massive rig on a dime.

The transmission is a new NV4500 5 speed manual with the compound low 6 to 1 compound low first gear and a 5th gear overdrive.

The transfer case is a freshly rebuilt NP 205 gear driven transfer case with a custom adaptor to the massive 5 speed manual trans. 

Both front and rear drive shafts have massive 14 10 U-joints at each end, in case you didn't know thats the same size U-joints they use in school buses...

The interior is mostly stock, I custom made a tilt column for a manual transmission truck with no shifter knob, everyone is always amazed to see it.

All the gauges work other than the speedo, it was never a big concern.

The truck has a beautiful uncut dash, with its original radio, dash pad and visors, all of which are in excellent shape. 

The exterior of the truck is in good original shape, the fenders have had some trimming to clear the 37 inch tires. Don't forget the paint is original and it is not perfect.

The truck will come with a original set of BLACK powder coated steel wheels and GMC hub caps.

The current set of tires and rims consist of 17 inch black powder coated steelies with 37 inch TOYO MT's on them.

The Suburban also has a custom World Famous 4x4 ( our sister company ) front winch bumper complete with 1/2 inch bolted to the frame pull points and a just fully rebuilt/restored very hard to find WARN 8274 stand up winch, and a pair of 5 inch fog lights.

The rear bumper is also a World Famous 4x4 unit with 1/2 inch pull points and a receiver.

The set up is beautiful and very functional.

The Conferr roof rack has 4 forward facing PIAA harsh weather lighs and 2 PIAA rear facing work lights along with a High lift jack and folding shovel, fire extinguisher etc..

There is also a mounted stud for a spare tire and wheel which will come with the truck.  

There are tons of other details but you get the idea, you can call me or email me if you need more info.  

I have a clear CA title on hand and the truck is currently registered here in CA through 2014.

We will assist with any shipping help you might need.  We have accounts with several shipping companies with our assigned agents.

I will require full payment within 3 working days of auctions end, so please have your funds ready before you bid.

This truck is being sold in AS IS condition.

We have tons of money and time invested in this truck, the winning bidder will own a true piece of American History, and a current  Four Wheeler magazine cover truck.  

Thank you for looking and good luck.

GM Issues Four New Recalls For 90,000 Vehicles

Fri, Jun 6 2014

One day after releasing an internal report that found a pattern of "incompetence and neglect" within the company, General Motors announced four more recalls that affect 89,126 vehicles. One of the recalls affects 31,520 vehicles that may contain a defect that could prevent airbags from deploying in a car accident. GM said it was aware of at least one crash in which a vehicle occupant sustained an injury because the airbags didn't deploy when they should have. The company said it was aware of other crashes that were similar in nature, but it is not yet known whether they're related to the condition, in which the shorting bar inside the driver's airbag may occasionally contact the airbag terminals. If the car and terminals are touching each other in a crash, the bags will not deploy. Vehicles from the 2012 model year are affected by the problem, and they include the Buick Verano, Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic. GM has conducted two previous recalls for this condition involving 7,116 cars. GM is also recalling 57,512 models of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015 Silverado HD, Tahoe and Surburan, as well as the 2015 GMC Sierra HD, Yukon and Yukon XL models because their radio control modules may not work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings. Certain models of the 2013-2014 Chevrolet Spark and 2013 Buick Encore are being recalled for a different airbag problem, which could prevent airbags from deploying properly during a crash. And 33 2014 Chevrolet Corvettes are being recalled for yet another airbag problem, in which an internal short circuit could disable the airbags. So far in 2014, General Motors has issued 34 separate recalls that affect approximately 15.9 million vehicles – more than the company has sold in the past five years combined. GM Announces Four Recalls DETROIT – General Motors today announced three safety recalls and one non-compliance recall, all of which were reported to the NHTSA on Thursday, June 5, 2014. In all cases, customers will receive letters from GM letting them know when they can bring their vehicles into a dealership, where all repairs will be performed free of charge and courtesy transportation would be provided as needed.

GMC vehicles earn spot on Madden NFL 25's roster

Wed, 17 Jul 2013

In the real world, the Super Bowl MVP gets a Chevrolet Corvette. Last year's MVP, Joe Flacco, took delivery of a C7 Corvette Stingray after leading the Baltimore Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
In the video game world of the Madden NFL series, the Super Bowl MVP gets a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali. Why no Stingray in the video game? Because GMC inked a deal with EA Sports for the truck and SUV builder to be named the official vehicle of the football video game's twenty-fifth anniversary edition.
The new Sierra Denali will be joined by the Yukon, Acadia, and Terrain in game, with stadium promotions for the brand throughout the season. Yes, even when you're beating the hell out of your buddy who insists on playing with the hateful Cowboys, you'll be seeing commercials. (Hold your keystrokes, Cowboy fans. We're just kidding. Sort of.)

2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 pickups ready to go to customers

Sun, Dec 19 2021

It's official: Two years after GM announced the electric GMC Hummer pickup, the first couple dozen units have left the line at the GM Factory Zero Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, according to GM president Mark Reuss. In an interview with CNBC to celebrate the milestone, Reuss said 17 Hummer EVs are ready for delivery to customers. This makes the Hummer the first of GM's new Ultium-based EVs to leave the factory, and the second electric pickup on the market after the Rivian R1T. The first 1,200 Hummer EVs made will be Edition 1 models, all of which are Interstellar White outside with Lunar Horizon interiors and bronze badging. Each of the $112,595 pickups is powered by three Ultium motors producing a GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque, loaded with features like height-adjusting adaptive suspension, skid rails and rock sliders, 35-inch tires, the diagonal-driving CrabWalk, the launch control system Watts to Freedom that unlocks a three-second sprint to 60 miles per hour, and Super Cruise. Range is a GM-estimated 329 miles when the 200-kWh battery is fully charged. As these filter out to eager owners, GM is prepping the next four phases of the Hummer rollout. About a year from now, in autumn of 2022, Factory Zero will begin production of the first widely available Hummer, the EV3X pickup that starts at $99,995 before destination. Three Ultium motors will provide an estimated 800 horsepower and 9,500 pound-feet of torque to a range estimated beyond 300 miles. Spring of 2023 is expected to deliver the Hummer EV2X pickup at an MSRP of $89,995, utilizing two motors producing a total 625 hp and 7,400 lb-ft over a range also estimated to go beyond 300 miles. Around the same time, the first units of the $105,595 Hummer SUV Edition 1 are planned to head down lines at Factory Zero. Finally, in the spring of 2024, the entry-level $79,995 Hummer EV2 pickup and its two-motor powertrain should arrive, making the same output as the EV2X, but only good for a range of around 250 miles. That won't be all we see from Factory Zero, either. GM invested $2.2 billion in the Detroit-Hamtramck plant that once built bread-and-butter GM fare like the Chevrolet Impala, Buick LaCrosse, and Oldsmobile Toronado in order to turn the facility into its first EV base of manufacturing operations for Ultium products. The battery-electric Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups will be built there, as will the Cruise Origin robotaxi.
