1950 Chevy Suburban. I found this truck in Northern California about 8 months ago. Pretty decent truck. The seller bought it from Utah. It was found in a dry Nevada salvage yard and spent it's time being customized in Utah before being sold to my seller in NorCal. It was a running truck that was driven from Utah to California.
When I purchased the truck it was not running. It had an electric fuel pump that gave out. So it sat for over a year until the guy decided to sell it. He processed the paperwork and was able to title it in California. It currrently has a clean title and is registered to me today.
This is what I found from my inspection and the little paperwork that my seller had.
Chevy 350 engine, 700R4 transmission, B&M converter lock up control. Edelbrock 650 carb, Edelbrock intake manifold, HEI ignition, new wiring harness front/back, Powersteering, power disc brakes/ rear drum, Electric fan. Speedo, oil pressure, volt gauge works. Temp and fuel gauge not working. S10 factory brake booster, master cylinder, proportion valve. Factory S10 front swaybar. No sender unit in gas tank but wired. 14 inch steel wheels with a flipper hubcap. It was super low.
1990 S10 front subframe welded to a 1967 Chevelle rear frame with a factory 10 bolt rearend. E/brake not hooked up.
Body in good shape for it's age. Still has rust in the inner rear fenders, no inner front fenders, rear bumper brackets were welded to the stock chevelle frame to mount the bumper, no top support to tie in the front clip. A combination of cheap paint with actually cool graphics throughout. Wood headiner and running boards. Running boards have supports welded directly to the frame. Wipers do not work. Underside not restored. New side glass, rear barn door glass and window seals. Bear claw latches on both front doors that need adjustments. Passenger side door latch is stuck. Driver glass is cracked. Rear latch is factory and barn doors are working properly. Only front seat, home style cut loop carpet w/heat shield material undeneath. Seat upholstered in metal flake gold with inside panels to match. Side panel material is coming loose. Some type of factory import guages that fit directly into the stock two pods. They are sitting in the dash but not secured. Speedo has KPH and MPH fonts. And appears to look like a chevrolet spript from an early valvecover fabbed into the dash. Wow that is cool. Metal flake silver steering wheel.
Once I got it back to my shop on a flatbed. I let the burb sit for about 3 months until I started to fix, clean up and add parts to make the truck safe and reliable. I have 2 kids and a wife that can give me the dirtiest look if what she's riding even coughs on the road. So to avoid the evil eye it had to be run properly.
This is what I have done so far on this running truck. I replaced the electric fuel pump with a mechanical pump, new battery, plug wires, Holley 650 carb, cadillac style air cleaner, trick stock style valvecovers in superflake gold with plug wires routed through the cover to the back towards the HEI instead of the Oldsmobile rocket covers that routes the wires to the inside of the intake. A much cleaner look and has never been done in this way. Yes everyone will flip when they see it. Also has a set of original "Royal" script car emblems mounted. Cleaned up engine compartment wiring, reinforced front clip (not perfect but functional), secured fuel tank with steel straps, new front Monroe shocks, new rear Monroe shocks, completed gas filler hose into tank, factory steel wheels 15x5 with new Michelin 205/70-15 in front and 15x7 with new Michelin 225/70-15. All matching tires. Wheels painted in oil rubbed bronze. Mounted and computer balanced. New Spider center caps. Installed a good used set of flowmaster mufflers with turndowns in front of the axle (previous were straight pipes).
Now the truck is presentable and can run in and around town. The work will need to continue but can be driven today. The truck is looking for a competent fabricator, body person or mechanic that can add their touches. Please do not expect a perfect truck. And please have the understanding of what your buying. It's not a field or barn find truck. It's not a shell for $3500 with no title or a full blown restoration for 45K plus. It's suited for a guy that has mechanical skills and can continue to refine it on their time. This is not the kind of truck to bring it to a Firestone tire shop and have a mechanic work on it. This is not the truck to do a full restoration back to stock.
I have disclosed as much as I know and what I have done. It's worth the effort because these trucks have vanished. My reason for moving this truck to the next owner is that I found my holy grail. A 1937 GMC 1/2 pick up already converted with late model drivetrain and an hour away. I'll ditch my wife and take the kids to the pool in a 37.
Thanks so much for looking at my auction and feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Suggest to have the vehicle transported. This is not fly in and drive out. This truck is being sold with no reserve. Yep bid to win. Will be advertised locally and can be sold before the auction ends.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
