Deluxe Half Ton Carryall Panel Complete Original Stock Barn Find Chevrolet on 2040-cars
Hurricane, Utah, United States
|
Cool old 1965 GMC Suburban Custom 10 (half-ton) Carryall that has spent 31 of the last 33 years sitting in a field in the little farm town of Delta, Utah. It's all original, stock and complete other than the gas tank and radiator fan. The previous owner had it running (he drove it around the neighborhood) from a small fuel tank tucked in the engine compartment. The engine still turns over freely but I haven't tried to get it running.
The VIN is 1001PF10391A. I went online and found a link to a website that decoded it for me. Among other things, the link showed it's a light-duty (6000 pound GVW), short wheelbase (115") version with ambulance doors which is the most desirable body style. The body is really pretty good. It has typical (but easily fixable) rust in some of the lower portions (see pics). All 4 steel inner fenderwells remain very solid. Marine-grade plywood was used by the factory as flooring in the rear and it's still in great condition. Passenger area floorboards have some small holes but nothing bad. Glass is good other than a two cracks in the windshield and one flat passenger side slider in the rear. Inner latch is broken on right rear door. Red and white paint is original. All hard-to-find trim is still there. Please ask for all my pics; they show everything including the undercarriage. The running gear is all stock and original. That means a big 305cid GMC V6 running through a four speed manual transmission (GM-420?) to the Dana 60 rear differential (3 lug studs broken on right rear axle). Points, plugs, plug wires and distributor cap are new. Clutch works and transmission shifts easily. Brakes and steering are manual. Brakes don't work but wheel cylinders and master cylinder do not leak. A vintage trailer brake mechanism is visible under the dash and big booster rear leaf springs are visible underneath. It also has a beefy trailer hitch. I think this would be an awesome tow vehicle for a vintage trailer or hot rod. A small-block Chevy engine would be a bolt-in swap if you're so inclined. The interior is in great, original condition. Dash is excellent with no cutting or butchery of any kind. All buttons, knobs, and switches are still there other than the ignition switch and 3 plastic HVAC lever caps. Even the original AM radio is still there (and it came with a vintage below-dash 8 track deck and speakers that I'll throw in). Headliner is in excellent condition. Windows roll up and down properly. Doors open and close properly as well. Original upholstery is rough in the front but can be used as a pattern. And again, floorboards remain in very decent shape (see pics). This is such an awesome rig. It's all there and is wonderfully original. I hope she finds a home with someone who will treat her like the rare beast she is and perhaps bring her back to her former glory. Just my two cents. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. This sweet, rare, vintage, half-ton Suburban is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest. |

GM renders new Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups
Thu, 08 Aug 2013At a series of industry seminars in Traverse City, MI today, General Motors executive vice president Dan Ammann gifted us with our first glimpse of the upcoming midsize pickup range from Chevrolet and GMC.
Just two slivers of nose are all we can see of the soon-to-be announced Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, though the teaser image does make plain that the pair will follow the styling cues (at least up front) found on big brothers Silverado and Sierra.
GM hasn't given us much in the way of detail in its ultra-brief press release that accompanied the teaser image, which is to be expected. We're told only that the pair of trucks are designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups" and that production will start sometime in 2014, at the Wentzville, MO assembly center.
GM 6.2L EcoTec V8 rated at 21 mpg by the EPA
Wed, 02 Oct 2013General Motors is already laying claim to best-in-class power for its new 6.2-liter V8 that will be offered in the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra this fall, and now it has released fuel economy numbers for the big engine. Available as an option on the Silverado LTZ and High Country (shown above) models as well as the the Sierra SLT and Denali trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will return 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway on rear-wheel-drive trucks; these numbers drop by one mpg each on four-wheel-drive models.
These estimates are in addition to the engine's 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and max trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds, and considering all that power it's not terribly far away from the fuel economy of GM's equally new 4.3-liter V6 and its rating of 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This announcement comes just days after a report indicated that GM is unable to keep up with the demand of the 5.3-liter V8 in the fullsize Chevy and GMC trucks due to supplier issues. GM's official press release for the 6.2-liter V8's fuel economy is posted below.
GM's fullsize SUVs boost highway mileage by nearly 10 percent
Wed, 26 Feb 2014We met the redesigned 2015 versions of the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL at the 2013 LA Auto Show. Improved gas mileage numbers have been announced to go along with the improved exteriors and interiors, with city mileage improving by seven percent and highway mileage going up by nearly ten percent; you'll now get 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.
The only applies to models with the 5.3-liter engine, though, not the premium Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali SUVs with the 6.2-liter motor. Still, the 5.3 gets you more power than previously, with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque underfoot, on top of the improved fuel economy numbers. The 6.2-liter sticks with official mpg ratings of 15 highway, 21 city. There's a brief press release below with words straight from the horse's mouth.
