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

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado Custom glitzes up volume model [UPDATE]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

UPDATE: The original prices listed in Chevrolet's press release did include destination charging, despite not being specifically called out as such. We've edited the story to reflect this. The Chicago Auto Show's reputation as the home of special edition debuts grows stronger today, as Chevrolet is complementing the news that it'd unveil the Silverado Midnight Edtion and Colorado GearOn special editions in the Windy City with the debut of the Silverado Custom. And yes, it's different than the higher-spec Custom Sport that debuted just last month in Detroit. What's so custom about the Silverado Custom, you ask? Well, not a whole lot. The new truck is based on the popular Silverado LS Double Cab, and adds, among its most noteworthy features, a set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels. From there, chrome is the order of the day, with shinier front and rear bumpers, mirror caps and door handles. The top portion of the front bumper, which is finished in black plastic on the standard LS, is matched to the body color on the Custom model. Standard LS interior features, like the 4.2-inch MyLink system with 4G LTE wireless internet, 40/20/40 cloth front seats, remain in place on the Custom, while it's a similar story with the powertrain. Choices below the sheetmetal will force buyers to choose between a 5.3-liter V8 or a standard 4.3-liter V6, and two- or four-wheel drive. Chevy is pricing a V8-equipped Silverado Custom 4x2 at $33,820 (including $1,195 in destination charges). Adding four-wheel drive brings the price up at $37,800, although as we said, selecting the 4.3-liter V6 will yield a more affordable Custom. Check out the full press release on the newest member of the Silverado clan, available below. 2015 Silverado Custom: Back to Basics, with Style $33,820 starting price for a well-equipped double-cab V-8 CHICAGO – Chevrolet takes aim at the heart of the pickup market with the Silverado Custom, which offers Chevy Truck capability and dependability in a stylish package, priced within reach of many truck customers. "The economic recovery has led to booming sales of high-end pickups like the Silverado High Country," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevy Trucks. "But there are also millions of customers in the heart of the market who want a great looking, well-equipped truck at an affordable price.

Very first Chevy Camaro found and restored

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Restoring an important classic car can lead people down rabbit hole upon rabbit hole of discovered history in a process that's essentially automotive genealogy. Take the recent rejuvenation of the very first Chevrolet Camaro as an example. The owners started with a strong hunch that the vehicle might be something special and spent years researching to figure it all out before the mechanical work even began. Fisher Body kicked off work on the first Camaro on May 17, 1966, and it was delivered to General Motors just a few days later for final assembly. While the model has earned a place as an American performance icon since then, the original was built more to develop the production process and boasted just a 230-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) inline six and 3-speed transmission. After spending its first few months appearing in promotions, a Chevy dealer in Oklahoma got the gold car in December of '66. It was touted on the sales floor there for years, and the first private owner didn't come until 1969. This short documentary goes into astonishingly comprehensive detail about every bit of the first Camaro's history. If you just want to hear the story of the latest owners and their work to get the vehicle restored since 2010, skip about 11 minutes into the video. Or, of course, you could just enjoy the whole thing. News Source: PilotCarRegistry via YouTube, Camaro NewsTip: Chris P.
