1965 GMC C1000 Shortbed Small Window Pickup w/original paint and 98000 original miles.

Original paint with great patina. No rust straight and dry California truck.

This truck was manufactured and sold in California and was owned by the same owner in Sonora, CA from 1965 to 2012 when he was simply too old to drive it. The truck never left Sonora until I bought it. As a matter of fact it was sold by the Sonora GMC dealership and we will include the original license plate frame, protecto plate, and service manual. Truck was a plain jane no option 230ci/3 speed.


Powertrain (now):

383CI Small Block Chevy built w/1995 5.7 4bolt 1 piece rear main truck engine block and 400ci crankshaft. Engine runs the 1995 swirl port heads, Edelbrock Aluminum Air Gap intake, Edelbrock Peformer Carb, HEI Ignition, aluminum water pump, and is dressed up with Newstalgia Fauxmobile Rocket valve covers and air cleaner and Speeway Rams Horn headers.

Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator w/electric fan.

Dual exhaust with quiet turbo mufflers.

This engine was not built for this truck but I had to put it in there. It will smoke the tires right off the truck if you floor it.

700r4 Automatic OD transmission built by Bowtie Overdrives with their kickdown linkage, TV Cable, and valving. All transmission tuning was done by Bowtie and the trans shifts great. This trans was meant for another project but ended up going in this truck. Truck cruises at 70 or 80 but is capable of much more.

Rear Axle and Differential are out of a 1972 C10 and have 3.73 axle ratio and 5 on 5 lug pattern.

Brakes and Chassis:

Truck was professionally lowered by Jimenez Brothers Customs (JBC) of Chop Cut Rebuild and Rod & Custom fame. Drop spindles and springs were used in front and the truck was converted to power disk brakes. Front lug pattern is 5 on 5 to match the rear. Truck was converted to power steering and a GM power brake booster and master cylinder w/proportioning valve were installed.

The rear end was treated to an axle flip kit, shackles, and a mild C-notch (bed is not cut). Lowered high performance shocks were installed front and rear. The E-Brake is not hooked up yet but the parts are included in a box.

Sway bars were added front and rear as well. Basically this truck steers, corners, and stops(and shifts) like a late model truck.

Dropped cross members were powder coated and installed during the chassis modifications.

 

Paint and Body:

As you can see we kept the exterior plain and just buffed the original paint to get the tree sap off. There is no rust through anywhere on the truck except 2 erasure head sized holes in the right front floor board. The rust was sanded and treated. Truck is completely dry.

All glass is good and comes with all new rubber for glass, doors, windows, body, tailgate bumpers, door handles and mirrors (all new rubber is still in boxes). The old stuff works but we wanted new.

New bed wood and rails were installed. The wood is stained and sealed and the rails were powder coated.

Original hood was louvered and fits the look of the truck.


Interior and Electrical:

Seat is original and covered in black velour. We put a couple of “Mexican” blankets over it because they fit the look of the truck.

A new carpet kit (black) is included as are new stainless door sills.

Pinstripes were added to the interior and can be seen on the glove box and ash tray.

All lights and electrical work except the original GMC radio. Heater and defroster work too (with no leaks) but the heater hoses were not reconnected after the engine swap.


Wheels and Tires:

Stock Chevy Steelies in 5 on 5 were stripped and powder coated satin black. Chevelle caps with GMC logos were installed. Tires are 205/75r15 white walls and have about 1000 miles on them now.

A set of aluminum drag lite wheels with radials are included if that’s your thing. They’re free.

Phil is selling the truck locally. Feel free to call him with any questions 951-905-2923

I built this truck for me with plans on keeping it for ever. No short cuts were taken but wife and kid got in the way and as you know things change. I passed it on to Phil who put the bed wood in etc. Phil has a bunch of other high end projects and is looking to send the GMC down the road.

The only things left to do is install the carpet and new rubber kits (included) and I would install A/C (everything else is new or replaced).

The truck was built with a SPAL electric fan. It has a thermo switch but Phil has it running direct. I personally think it sounds like a shop vac running at high speed and takes away from the rumble of the truck. I'm throwing in a brand new flex fan (still in the box). You can swap out the fan if the electric one annoys you as well.

Truck runs drives and stops great. Suspension is low but has been modified to allow pretty good travel and new low profile bump stops were installed. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it on long trips (except for that no A/C thing).

Aston Martin DBX and the craziest car redesigns | Autoblog Podcast #716

Fri, Feb 11 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. They also chat about two of Riswick's recent features: the 20 craziest car redesigns of the past 20 years and the best cars for snow.  Autoblog Podcast #716 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown Cars we're driving Aston Martin DBX 2022 Kia Carnival 2022 Chevy Tahoe Features 20 craziest car redesigns of the last 20 years Best cars for snow Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax makes 369 lb-ft for $3,730 premium

Tue, Jul 28 2015

Since announcing the new Chevrolet Colorado in late 2013, there has been absolutely no secret that the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel would wind up under the hood of the midsize pickup truck for the 2016 model year. It has been a long wait for those wanting the oil-burner, but thankfully, the anticipation is nearly at an end. Chevy is finally officially unleashing details about the four-cylinder, which churns out 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The diesel is available in both LT and Z71 Crew Cab trims, and there's the choice of two- or four-wheel drive. All come with a six-speed automatic gearbox with a standard automatic-locking rear differential. An electronically controlled two-speed transfer case comes on four-wheel drive models, as well. The Z82 trailering package also arrives on all of the Duramax pickups and includes an exclusive integrated trailer brake controller. The first shipment of diesels arrives at dealers this fall with a price of $3,730 on top of a comparably equipped version with the 3.6-liter V6. Customers opting for the Duramax are getting more capability from the Colorado. With a 7,700-pound tow rating on two-wheel drive examples (7,600 pounds with four-wheel drive), drivers can haul 600-700 pounds more behind the truck than its petrol V6 counterpart. Fuel economy numbers haven't been announced yet, but are expected to top the gasoline versions. The engine is also B20 bio-diesel compatible. Beyond being just a good hauler, Chevy is throwing cutting-edge tech into these models. For example, this is the company's first application of a Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber on the transmission's torque converter. The device is a dampener that cancels out torsional vibration from the engine for a more comfortable ride for occupants. There's also a driver selectable exhaust brake system that uses engine compression to help slow down the truck and reduce brake wear. You can read more about the nuts and bolts of the diesel in Chevy's press release below. Chevrolet Introduces Colorado Duramax Diesel All-new turbo-diesel expands lineup with unparalleled capability, efficiency DETROIT – The fastest-selling truck in the market now offers an available turbo-diesel engine. The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel takes midsize truck capability and efficiency to unprecedented levels.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
