I built this lowrider mini truck to be clean and functional.  The bed is completely built from scratch, and no corners where cut during construction. The inside is formed, welded and finished from 16 individual pieces of 18 gauge steel nicely contoured over the 3 link.  The Fresh paint job is enhanced with a smoothie front bumper, clear signals and markers, and a fresh bumper apron.  This Truck is highly influenced by the custom era flowing throughout its construction.

Body mods include a full custom smooth bed hand built from scratch with new bed sides.  The gas door has been shaved and relocated inside the bed with a pop-up gas fill. The inside of the bed is bare-metal to show off the craftsmanship.  the tailgate has been re-skinned with the handle relocated to the inside, and a crooked plate-box with working light has been frenched in. A roll pan has been welded on with 59 Cadillac taillights frenched deep within. Stock taillights have been shaved. The door handles and locks have been shaved along with the antenna. The Omaha Orange paint job was done by a professional auto body shop, and has received awards for best in class and best paint.  The body work is really strait as you can see in the pictures. This truck also sports a new front bumper, deflector, clear signals and markers.

The interior has been updated with subtle enhancements.  The bench seat has been recovered in black. The stock headrests shortened and the sun visors have been narrowed.  The headliner has been redone with a pleated insert to match the seat.  Door panels have also been freshened up with new material to match the seats.  Audio system is stock, except for the Ipod ready Pioneer DEH-P49001B cd player.

Controlled by a 9-rocker switch-box, This minitruck lays frame with a Thorbeck Bros 3 link, 8 gallon air tank, and an engine-driven compressor. The frame has been c-notched and the rear half of the frame has been boxed. It has Slam Specialties air bags all the way around,with 3/8 line in the back and 1/2 inch up front. It is a very reliable setup controlled by 8 SMC solenoids.

Wheels are 14" western wheel aluminum mags which have been powder coated black.  Tires are Hankook p215/70R14, and have good tread.


This truck has received Awards for best in class, and outstanding paint at the 2013 Milwaukee World of Wheels car show.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway

Mon, Nov 9 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
