After I retired I bought this 1984 Chevy p/u and made a promise to myself to restore it completely. I decided to make some modifications to the truck but not compromising his integrity. At the time I started working on the truck the odometer showed 25348 miles. As you can see on the photos I substituted the front grille with core support for one from a 1989 Chevy Suburban. This change, to me, gave a lot of better front look even more when I installed a 4MM billet grille-polished on it. Also “Euro 150MM Halogen Headlight” and “Clear Park light Lens Kit” were installed. The rear lights bulbs were substituted by a “Led Tail Light Conversion Kit” The interior cabin was set with a pair of bucket seats from a 1995 Suburban, which were provided with a new upholstery, a console was set between them. A highline w/built-in speakers was installed, along with a new sound system (Pioneer radio) and amplifier. All the interior cabin was paint (interior of both door also) with epoxy primer and then a multi purpose insulation, a heat shield kit and a molded carpet -all these from LMC- were installed. A billet instrument , dash panel and doors trim along with a new padded dash -from Classic Industries- were included too. All suspension, motor and transmission mounts, cabin and bed mounts from “Energy Suspension” (Black Hyper-Flex Bushing Set). The engine was rebuilt and Edelbrock #350-2102 camshaft kit, designed for optimum torque from the low and to the mid-range, smooth idling cam for daily drivers was installed. Also a complete rebuilt th700r4 automatic transmission was installed.. After spending a lot more than I expected to spent, I did not pay for a good paint job but the truck is well protected against rust because I gave two coats of epoxy primer and then another two coats of 2K Urethane Primer. |

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

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.
