This 1996 Z71 has a ton of suspension work done to it. The most obvious is the solid axle swap.
The front axle is from a 2002 F250 and is a Dana 50 model with manual locking hubs. The front axle is from the same truck and is a Ford/Sterling 10.5". Both axles have 4.88 gears and positraction. The front suspension are 5" lift leaf springs for an F250 and a Fabtech dual steering stabilizer. Steering is corrected by a 4" drop pitman arm from a Dodge Ram. The rear suspension has 5" blocks and long custom link bars to prevent axlewrap. There is a Rancho shock at each wheel. Both driveshafts are from the donor F250.
The tires are 36x15.50 R16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs on 16x12 Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels. The tires have more than 75% tread left.The wheels have a few scuffs on them from a few off road excursions.
The engine is stock, except for a WIX filter, synthetic oil, and dual exhaust (Single 18" glasspack and 5" tips- can easily be converted to true duals as there are 2 catylitic converters). The exhaust has a small leak.
There is a Hypertech programmer that comes with the truck. It corrects the speedometer for the larger tires and gear ratio as well as add power.
The interior is in excellent shape, especially for a 96. There are no tears in the seats, and there is only one 4" long crack in the dash. The windshield is cracked, but it is a long thin crack down the passenger side. The CD player is bad, so I took it out and I have not replaced it (all of the speakers work just fine). The CD player mounting bracket comes with it.
The body is in excellent shape, no rust anywhere. There are a few small paint scuffs. There is a 2" dual cowl induction hood.
Overall, this truck is in excellent shape, and is definitely a head turner. This truck is reliable enough that it is my daily driver and I have taken it on several long trips and I have gotten 12-14mpg (65-70mph). I am only selling because there is a new addition to the family and a single cab truck won't do. This truck is perfect for a dual purpose rig (wheel on the weekends and drive it to work on monday).
Please do not hesitate to ask questions.
I need to sell this as there is another little one on the way and a single cab truck will no longer work for me.
The reserve is lower than the Buy-it-Now price.

2015 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon airbag problem causes recall
Tue, 14 Oct 2014
The recall affects 2,432 vehicles, though only 138 had actually reached consumers.
General Motors quickly fixed an airbag-wiring problem with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, but is still conducting a small recall to repair the midsize trucks that are launching this fall.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
GM trademarks 'GearOn,' possibly for pickups
Fri, 13 Jun 2014On May 27, a week before General Motors applied for a trademark for the word "Zora," GM filed a trademark application at the US Patent and Trademark Office for "GearOn," characterized as a "truck bed cargo system comprised of tiered storage cross rails, utility rack stanchions, cargo dividers and cargo tie down rings."
We have no idea what it will be or if we'll see it used on anything, but GM Authority reckons it could be GM's name for a pickup truck feature to rival the BoxLink system Ford introduced on the 2015 F-150. BoxLink has been described as having "dozens of configurations of stowable cargo ramps and lockable die-cast aluminum tie-down cleats," giving owners the ability to arrange the bed in they way they need and load unwieldy items like motorcycles without needing extra equipment.
Getting purely speculative, a month ago GM pickup truck engineers said there would be more and more regular updates for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra starting next year. Beyond the suspected capability and fuel economy changes GearOn could be one of the "neat things coming in a whole host of areas."
