The only thing left to do is what a new owner wants to do ! Pic out wheels and tires and a system to make this YOUR BADASS 68' !!! These 67-72 trucks are sought after for an obvious reason they are the coolest designed trucks ever (muscle trucks). And the only thing that makes one better then another is color combo and IMO this truck has the best colors Chevrolet made ! This truck is a REAL black and red 68' that I have spent 2 years restoring as my personal truck but a new business venture makes me sell her, it is finally done I've put about 30 miles on this truck and it is ready for a new owner to show her off. I will describe all the work from the top down.......
The body of this truck was in better then average shape, but being a black one means being diligent with making it strait so a lot of hours went into the body work. It was sprayed with epoxy through the whole process and came out really nice.
The paint we used in our opinion is the best, Diamont R-M D-403 Black for the base coat and Diamont R-M 5335 Clear to make it shine, (THIS IS SHOW QUALITY PAINT)......... The paint was sprayed by one of the best painters around so there's no tiger stripes anywhere and 3 coats of clear that's been color sanded and polished, NO ORANGE PEEL. The paint and body work came out to look Badass. And every piece of trim is new !
The interior is ALL NEW and redone back to original this is the original seat and steering wheel in great shape just recovered the seat. Everything that is red is new, all door rubbers are new with felts, windshield is new and yes it has wipers but I keep them under the seat there very easy to take off and put on, I think it looks better without. I also added a tilt column from a 72' van so it has the shorter shifter and aftermarket linkages that work great. From the drivers seat looking out over that shiny black hood with the wheel in your lap and your arm on the door is something everyone should experience!!!!
The motor is all new, its a 010 4 bolt block that's 30 over making it a 355 it has TBI heads with a 600cfm eddy carb and a cam to match. This motor was built for daily driving with MPG's in mind, but it was also built for torque and will surprise you with how strong it runs rated at 285hp and 340ftlbs it will wag its tail going into 2nd gear. The exhaust is 2 1/2" dumped at the rearend with a very unique sound that's not loud coming from mufflers of a 2003 mustang gt, I was looking for something different then what you always hear from flowmaster or dynomax and all the other cooky cutter mufflers this truck is quite when you want and can get loud when you want, very cool sound.
The transmission is a fresh 400 with a 2000 factory high stall converter with a mild shift kit and 373 gear ratio, this combination works very good.
5 lug conversion has been done so you get power disc brakes all new, the braking power is impressive. You also get power steering that's new and works effortlessly. The truck has been lowered 3" up front and 4" in the rear for a nice low truck stance, if you want it lower its easy with lowering blocks in the back.
The chassis and components were sand blasted, primed and then sprayed with POR-15 chassis paint, so the underneath of this truck looks good. All parts underneath from uppers and lowers to shocks, cab mounts, wheel bearings and everything in between is new. This truck is tight and solid with NO rattles, and will actually handle corners impressively !
The bed floor isn't perfect I planned on using the bed so I sprayed it with POR-15, it didn't bother me but you can put in a mat or rhino line.
We all know what this truck would look like with wheels ! but everybody has different taste and some of us know you can ruin a vehicle by choosing the wrong wheels, happens all the time LOL. So I left the personal touch and easiest part up to the new owner, there's many different wheels that would work with this truck from 20s to wide whites or even a black steel wheel with red line tires, its up to you have fun. I also know some guys think they have 30k trucks that are a joke, especially on ebay. I don't live in a fantasy but I did build a sweet ride and built it right, no telling what some of these other guys would want for this truck but I have it priced to sell so taking in count for the wheels and tires, THE RESERVE ON THIS TRUCK IS WELL BELOW 20K!!!!! Good Luck.. It is for sale locally also. Call for any questions 405-204-0058

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark
Thu, Dec 27 2018The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
Huge, pricey trucks haul jobs and profits for the Detroit Three
Tue, Feb 5 2019DECATUR, Texas — Mickey McMaster is on his 12th pickup truck. The 61-year old farm equipment dealer in Decatur, Texas, two weeks ago treated himself to a 2019 GMC Denali for around $69,000 — a reward for long hours at work. "For me this is the Cadillac of trucks, it's a real luxury vehicle," McMaster said. "I've worked my way up to afford a truck like this and it shows that I've earned it." McMaster is the kind of customer General Motors Co is banking on as it plans to add 1,000 jobs at a plant in Flint, Michigan that will build a new generation of its largest pickups. Demand from Texas and other heartland states for big pick-ups is providing a lifeline to many workers the No. 1 U.S. automaker is laying off at plants elsewhere. The Detroit Three automakers and thousands of their U.S. workers are counting on customers like McMaster to keep buying bigger and more luxurious pickup trucks even if overall U.S. vehicle demand weakens this year, as most analysts predict. At Flint, GM will build a new generation of its heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierras, including luxury models that are some of the most profitable vehicles on the planet. GM, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Ram division own the segment and are each doubling down with new or redesigned models launching this year. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday celebrated the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. At the same time that GM is laying off thousands of U.S. workers and planning to shutter five North American factories, Flint is hiring. The plant runs on three daily shifts, six days a week. As the new model's assembly system ramps up, the plant's capacity will increase by more than 25 percent, plant manager Mike Perez told Reuters. The Flint plant plans to add 1,000 workers, more than half of the 1,500 factory workers who have asked to transfer from plants GM has targeted for shutdown as part of CEO Mary Barra's restructuring plan. "We're bringing in 50 to 100 people every week," said Perez. Workers last week were still finishing the job of retooling the Flint factory to build the new heavy-duty trucks as part of a $1.5 billion investment project.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
