Hi, up for grabs is probably one of the nicest trucks your going to come across in your searches....trust me I've
looked. Everything is done and done right. This truck was just completed and underwent a 2 year restoration and
believe me there's no disappointments. Theres only 1,600 miles put on the truck. If your in the market for a GMC
big window step side look no further. Truck is damn near show quality. Below I'm going to try and describe exactly
what I see and know about this truck.
Starting With The Outside: Laser straight and rust free body. Shaved rain roof rails and all emblems. Painted a
satin black with just enough clear to make it pop. There's all new chrome including front bumper, headlight bezels,
parking lamp lenses, outer door handles, mirrors, tailgate chains, wiper cowl and bullet wiper covers(wipers work
and will be included). All glass, frames, rubbers are brand new. I had the glass smoke tinted front to back and
looks great. Bed is many tubbed and has a nice wood kit installed. It shows signs of use because it's used and not
covered up. I replaced the GMC grill for the better looking Chevrolet. All headlights, taillights, and turn signals
work as they should.
Inside: All brand new top to bottom. Whole inside of cab was painted a gloss red and is show quality. Dash was
pulled and painted and an all new wiring harness installed so all electrical is in proper working order. New seat
foam and 2 tone red and black cover. There's new carpet, floor mats, window cranks, inner door handles, inner
rearview mirror, new aftermarket stock looking radio (amp and small sub combo behind seat..needs install) , all new
dash chrome knobs replaced, Ididit chrome tilt steering column and billet steering wheel, billet dash with chrome
face guages (everything works), red headliner and inner glove box. There's a badass Kilduf quick shift floor
shifter installed that works great. Red top Optima Battery and billet battery cover are brand new and are located
behind front seat for easy accessibility. Inside is perfect as you see.
Motor: everything done ! Here we go..... Professionally built 355 small block, Scat crank, Eagle Rods, Speed Pro
pop up Pistons, bored 30 over balanced, true double rolling timing chain, Chromally hardened push rods,...1.5
aluminum roller rockers, Lunati camshaft 525-548 lift cam, World SR. Heads, 202.160 exhaust stainless Manlet
valves, high rise single intake, 750 Cup Race Demon carburetor, polished long tube headers, Spectre chrome
aircleaner & breather, chrome alternator & brackets, belt system, upgraded chrome power steering and pump, MSD
ignition & HEI distributor, frame mounted master cylinder, oversize 4 core radiator with polished overflow, Erson
valve covers, etc, etc.....you get the idea. Price this motor out and you'll know what your getting. A ton of
horsepower. I'd put this truck up to anything street or track.....badass ! Yes runs on pump gas.
Transmission is a built 350 with 3000 stall that shifts with no hesitation.
Exhaust is a custom Duvall setup with race bullets 3inch pipe....you will love the sound..its a beast !
Frontend, Suspension and Undercarriage: Frontend has a Mustang 2 front clip with disc brakes, full front and rear
coil over adjustable suspension with 4 link in the rear, Ford 9inch reared with disc brakes, Possi rearend with 350
gears, gas tank has been relocated underneath the rear of the bed with top mounted gas filler.
Truck is currently rolling on a new staggered set of chrome 20inch B/G wheels with big tires. If you prefer more of
a old school street rod look I have a very clean set of staggered 17inch Torque Thrusts with very good tires for a
reduced price. Lug pattern is Chevy 5x4 3/4 front & back.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
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.
