1986 Gmc 1500 - Rust-free, Short Box, Supercharged 400 Small Block on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1986 GMC 1500 short box – Super charged! I’ve owned this truck for about 4 years. The engine had already been swapped to a 400 short block. I have done no work to the bottom end, but have installed all of the goodies on top: high pressure fuel pump and regulator, custom high pressure carburetor by Quick Fuel Technology – Super Street Series, XDI electronic ignition, and Vortech super charger – centrifugal style. It’s currently running six pounds of boost. The system is upgradeable to 17 pounds of boost. I have the rev limiter set at 5000 rpm – because no work has been done on the bottom end.
Additionally, the front suspension has been replaced and limited slip installed in the rear. The paint has recently been cut and buffed to bring out the shine of the original paint. Alpine stereo with equalizer and subwoofer is installed. Everything else is original. This is an Oregon truck so there is no rust!
She runs beautifully! Start-up could be helped with an automatic choke and a shift kit installed. Dyno-tune would be nice, too. I had a tire slashed and haven’t replaced it yet. You can see in the pictures two mag rims on the truck and two off as well as two original rims on the truck and two off without tires mounted. The truck has a cover.
The only mechanical problem I know of is a slow electrical drain on the battery. (When it’s sitting I just take one lead off the battery to keep it charged.) Body is original and in great shape – rust free. The grill was replaced with the Chevy bowtie and it is cracked near the left headlight.
Was planning to install a high performance, rebuilt 327 which has Crane cams roller camshaft, Eagle rods and crankshaft, King engine bearings, compression cams roller rockers and timing chain set and cam button, Lunati roller lifters and push rods, Prommax heads, Chevy performance head gaskets, Felpro Permadry oil pan and valve cover gaskets, Felpro timing cover set and rear main seal, ARP head and main studs, Melling high volume oil pump and hardened oil pump drive, sealed power piston rings, DSS Racing forged pistons, and Cat performance products billet steel crankshaft girdle. This is included as is an old B&M roots style super charger. For sale locally, auction may end early.

GM will no longer remove parts from trucks to calculate curb weights
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
