tons of photos below...but PLEASE take time to read the following...
the truck is a strong running, reliable, complete, turn-key driver...ready to cruise, burn-out, show, & bar hop.
it has a pumped up big block 70's chevy 454 motor that runs great and starts without problem.
new high crank battery, 2 gauge wiring, & Jegs race starter handle the hottest starts and an aluminum radiator w/custom electric fans New installed
it has headers, a big cam, 454 high flow intake...great sound & lopey idle w/small glass pack turn down exhaust.
it has a 3-speed turbo 400 automatic transmission from a 70's truck as well...it was just flushed & sealed up 1k miles ago.
has super tall lokar floor shifter w/boot & polished knob...it's paired with a chrome spoon gas pedal.
has a low mile camaro 12-bolt rearend w/411 gearing and POSI-traction also flushed & sealed 1k miles ago
...the combo is scary. it's a real balls to the wall hot rod...easy to light up.
engine bay is matte black and nothing special...
it's shaved & nosed...all trim, handles, mirrors, fuel filler, etc...
no door poppers...reach in thru the vent windows and open...
it's actual flat red paint, in great shape with gloss white accents on cab, grill, and flipped front bumper. (gives a lower/frown look)
body is super straight and smooth. frame is true...the matte finish, natural body lines, and smoothness from the shave are killer.
the running light lenses have been painted white as well....the headlights are yellow glass and it has bluedot tear drop tailights.
truck has no turn signals or mirrors.
custom gloss red & white 1-shot by Lefty out of Sacramento on hood and back fenders.
paint matched steel visor and louvered roll pan finish off the look.
bed walls are also paint matched and the custom lifted bed itself was just refinished (actual tongue & groove flooring) to resemble an old saloon bar top.
the running boards are a bit beat up from normal life as a truck, as are the bed walls and tailgate, but nothing crazy.
it has a show look, but still a driver and usable truck...it's damn sure not a garage queen. and NO it is NOT a rat rod!!!
some small rush spots in the normal areas (wheel wells/door sills) but for me, not worth messing with on this style truck.
both doors and hood have rubber stops & spacers in place with fresh cowl seal and door jams.
no wipers or motor...has paint matched bolt deletes for smooth clean look.
interior was fully gone thru and completed about 2k miles ago.
gloss black cab, running boards, and door jams were fully resprayed.
all new green side glass, rubbers, guides, vent seals, and even fuzzies.
the original clear glass gangster window has real metal venetian blinds mounted in the OG creme color.
brand new green glass windshield w/shade & new gasket.
authentic serape mexican blanket custom upholstery. it's a truly wrapped bench seat w/custom made matching door cards.
brand new molded black loop carpet kit was installed as well.
aftermarket gauge cluster was painted wrinkle black as was the window trim and door cards.
all gauges works (oil/water/volts/fuel AND speedo) and are backlit...along with working interior dome light, headlights, rear running lights, and brake lights.
no horn and no stereo...no heater or A/C
new interior visors & chrome hardware, handles, gauge bezel, steering wheel, rocket knobs, traffic viewer, rearview mirror, glove box, hardware, etc.
original key cylinder for ignition AND glove box match..
the roulette table felt headliner is a big hit, as is the tall boy PBR can horn filler...
the suspension is the last big portion of the truck and where most of the money was spent.
first off is has a brand new set of 15" chrome steelies w/chrome baby moons...
they were just wrapped with fresh coker classic bias ply L78's, their largest tire w/a true 4" whitewall...they really pop.
they are ~29.5" tires so it also helps with freeway speeds, helping mellow out the 411 gearing a bit.
full front & back drum brake job, with upgraded camaro rear drums w/powdercoated backing plates & new wheel cylinders all around.
new brake lines as well with a flush 1k miles ago.
up front there is an oldschool mor-drop 6" stretched front axle paired with mono leaf springs to get it sitting right.
all new tie rod ends, bushings, kingpins, etc...the original steering box was also rebuilt.
the rear frame was c-notched (why the bed was lifted) and was slammed down with mono leafs in back too...
the truck is dead nuts level, w/custom rear shackles to nail it even...this was an important look for me; no rake, no sag.
the shocks were repositioned to get the most out of their travel...it rides exceptionally smooth & very straight considering its oldschool, straight axle nature.
the steering geometry was adjusted best it can be with great improvement from the initial modification.
the turning radius is less than desirable as a result to the slammed stance paired with a much taller/wider tires but it is what it is...drive her everywhere without issue.

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
