Up for your consideration is a 1972 Chevrolet 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban. This classic truck is one of only 879 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburbans built with the clamshell doors in 1972. This vehicle was frame off rotisserie restored 5 years ago and has been daily driven since. Very,very reliable. This truck has a 402 big block motor a 700R4 overdrive transmission and a 4.10 gear ratio. The rear end is factory equipped with a No Spin differential. The original owners manual with the Idento-plate is in the glove box along with the No Spin manual. It also has all the usual power options,power steering,power disc brakes and heavy duty cooling system. The truck has been repainted in the original Medium Olive inside and out. The Toyo A/T tires only have about 3000 miles on the and they are mounted on powder coated 16 inch stock style wheels and finished with stock hubcaps. This truck was upgraded with a stock style tachometer and rear heat under the middle seat. It originally had 2 bench seats but has been further upgraded with the factory 3 bench option. The original restored 2nd bench is included in the sale as is a baby seat recovered to match the original green and black houndstooth seat skins.The body of the truck has been Rhino lined below the lower body line for chip resistance. Additionally the Suburban has been upgraded with front and rear air conditioning. The system is complete and only needs charging. This upgrade was done using all factory parts, only new hoses were added. Front and rear air was a one year option for the three door Suburban. Three CDs with over 800 pictures of the restoration process will also be given to the winning bidder. There are a couple of flaws in the paint as would be expected on a daily driven truck(See pics). There is also a hidden Custom Autosound AM/FM/CD stereo under the front seat but the controller and remote are pretty worn out. There are two kick panel speakers and two 6x9s in boxes in the back. The boxes have been covered in matching green vinyl. The original AM radio is still in the dash and it works. This will make a great show truck or family hauler for the winning bidder.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
