1995 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Union Grove, Wisconsin, United States
The Pumpkin Truck. I named the
truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, it leaked air so
bad, that it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, a giant
pumpkin. This is a
1995 Chevy C1500 that is a lot of fun to drive.
84,000 original miles. No rust. Stored
winters. Dependable. I have had it to Nebraska, Mississippi,
Georgia. Decent fuel mileage; 13 city,
17 highway. I bought it at 68,000. Motor has approx. 10,000 mi. Body
mods: Approx. $15,000
* Note: A
body drop is where the entire body, front to back, is tucked over the frame by
cutting out the floor and all body/bumper mounts; moving them up, and
re-welding the works. Interior
mods: Approx. $2,600
Chassis
mods: Approx. $7,600
Engine
Mods: Approx. $10,500
* Accel DFI
included a 1000cfm throttle body, single plane intake, sequential port
injection, 8 injectors, rails, fuel pump, ECM (Engine Control Module),
sequential distributor, coil and spark control, electric fuel pump. With a bigger cam and injectors, the
motor will make 500hp. Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000 So, the cost of the truck is almost
offset by the body mods. I have over $40K invested. Nothing for my labor/time. Will consider trade for a late model
4X4 pickup. See more at www.HillJean.com Enjoy! |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They 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.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
