I've owned this truck since 2004. The truck had some restoration completed at that time, mostly mechanical. In 2007, I put the truck in the body shop for work. I replaced any new metal parts with GM factory parts only. (i.e., hood, drivers' door, one fender and tail gate.) The bedsides were repaired by cutting out the oxidized metal and replacing it with new steel. -NO BONDO!- Custom paint job conversion to a two-tone red and white, like the originals, with factory striping to match. I have since added the new step bumper. Total investment for body and paint, alone: $12,000.
Once the body was complete, I replaced the worn out 400 small block with a brand new GM Vortec 350 crate motor (from Scoggin-Dickeys in Texas), the same motor found in the later 90's chevy trucks. Keeping fuel efficiency in mind, I opted for strength and reliability over the original, gas-guzzling big block. The motor, fitted with performance pistons, the vortec heads, aluminum intake, electronic ignition, ceramic-coated headers and topped with an Edelbrock 600 cfm carb., the motor is rated at 330hp. The original, mechanical fuel pump was replaced with an electronic, Holley high-performance pump. The truck has been fitted with a 2-inch suspension lift from Skyjacker to give it a little more height. The transmission has been completely rebuilt and a shift-improver and transmission-cooler have also been added. The transmission has performed flawlessly since being upgraded. Both fuel tanks (20 GAL) have also been replaced. The lower front steering assembly was rebuilt just last summer.
There are minimal rock chips below the molding on both sides and a three-inch crack in the center of the dash where the center speaker is located (see pics).
I have personally invested well over $20,000 into this truck.
PLEASE NOTE: I will work with the buyer to arrange pick up of this vehicle, I WILL NOT SHIP.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
