This is a 1997 Chevrolet C-1500 2wd, real 4 door crew cab, built by Centurion Conversion company.

I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 5 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or ext cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the msrp of the original truck was around $21,000. These truck were not cheap. These truck are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1995-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.

The truck is dark polo green with grey interior. 5.7L 350 V8, 4 speed auto, trailer hitch. VERY LOW MILES, only 95,670. (I am still driving the truck, so the mileage will go up a little) When the previous owner got it here, he installed a new belt, fuel filter, K&N air filter, Optima yellow top battery, had the oil changed, tinted the windows all around , and installed a new CD radio with USB connector for your Ipod. The previous owner bought the truck from the original owner, that had it for 14 years, 6 months. . It was located in NV, and had been garage kept all it's life. He had it shipped to him in South Florida. I bought the truck a bought to years ago. I flow out to Florida made the transaction and drove it back to me in NY. (drove like a dream).

It was a desert and southern truck, NO rust at ALL. The interior is almost perfect, I would say 8.5 out of 10. The truck had a carpeted dash cover(that the original owner installed, so the dash is perfect). The previous owner added custom made floor mats front and rear when he got it. It has a 40/60 split bench seat in the front, and a bench seat in the back, hold 6 very comfortably. The passenger front door has 3 small door dings in it (I would assume they could be taken out by a paint-less dent guy) the hood also has two dings. The paint has some scratches in it nothing major, but from 5 feet away you can't even see them. The paint is still very good, and shines nice, (except the roof and tops of the doors, it's now faded, it just doesn't shine like the rest of the truck). I was going to have a detail shop do a good buff out the paint, but just never had it done.

After i purchased the truck i lowered it 4 in the front and 6 in the rear . the front was lowered with spindles, coils and custom shocks. In the rear i did a flip kit and new custom shocks. Also installed helper bags with two separate air valves for height if i add a load in the rear. I did keep all the original parts. Never did any performance work to motor or trans at all.

i also add a tonneau bed cover as well

The truck runs and drives great. It gets about 20 mpg on the highway. The truck never saw snow or salt. garaged in the winter.

The stock tires have a lot of tread left on them(rims are plastic dipped in black), one is missing a trim ring. The Aftermarket rims are 20" and have great tires with only about 1000 mile on them .

I searched long and hard to find this truck. But just went through a divorce and need to sell it. I will pass this one on to someone else. It is available to be looked at New City, N.Y. Any questions please ask. I have the clean N.Y. title on hand in my name ready to sign over.

Sorry for the bad pics.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

GMC offers more 2024 Hummer EV SUV details, photos

Mon, Apr 5 2021

GMC has shared more details about its 2024 Hummer EV SUV after its debut during the NCAA Final Four tournament. The SUV which follows the Hummer EV pickup, is smaller, more maneuverable and has a few features the truck doesn’t. GM says itÂ’s meant to strike a balance between off-road capability and on-road driving. GM also says Edition 1 reservations are already sold out. Compared to the truck, the Hummer SUV has a wheelbase about 9 inches shorter. With four-wheel steering, its turning circle is just 35.4 feet, which GM emphasizes is tighter than that of the Ford Mustang Mach-E (38.1 feet). ItÂ’s also less than the Hummer pickupÂ’s 37.1-foot turning circle. The SUV, which, at 196.8 inches long, is 20 inches shorter than the truck overall. It also features a much shorter rear overhang, at 35.5 inches. While thatÂ’s all helpful maneuvering through city traffic or suburban parking lots, it also provides advantages off-road. It has an approach angle of 49.6 degrees, a 49.0-degree departure angle and a 34.4-degree breakover angle. Suspension travel is 13 inches front and rear, with 16 inches of maximum ground clearance thanks to its Extract Mode that temporarily raises the vehicle to get out of tricky terrain. It can ford water 32 inches deep. It also features the same CrabWalk mode as the pickup. Available Ultravision provides 17 cameras, including underbody views to help navigate the trail. The Hummer SUV benefits from an enclosed cargo area behind the second row of seats. It still features the Infinity Roof with removable panels above the two seating rows to essentially turn the SUV into a convertible. At the rear is a swing-out tailgate that opens wider than the width of the vehicle. A spare tire rides on the tailgate as well. With the rear seats folded, cargo volume peaks at 81.8 cubic feet.Â Additional hidden storage space is found below the recycled rubber floor mat, which features a design inspired by the moonÂ’s Sea of Tranquility (that's where Apollo 11 landed). As for technology, the Hummer SUV gets a 13.4-inch infotainment screen, plus a 12.3-inch instrument display in front of the driver. Fourteen cameras come standard, and the aforementioned Ultravision provides a total of 17 cameras, including a surround view. The MyGMC mobile app offers satellite rendered trail maps that can also help manage energy consumption off-road and make sure you have enough juice to make it to a charger when finished.

Watch this GMC pickup crash through a wall into a Florida airport terminal

Thu, Dec 19 2019

A man in Florida has been accused of driving his pickup truck through airport grounds and through a wall into the airport's baggage area. It is unclear whether or not the incident was on purpose or an accident, but the shocking scene was captured by numerous cameras and angles. The driver sustained serious injuries but nobody inside the airport was hurt.Â The wild crash happened at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport at about 3 a.m. on December 19, 2019, according to the Herald-Tribune. Reportedly, the 2015 GMC Sierra was seen driving erratically on a nearby highway earlier in the night, but officers were unable to catch the driver. The truck ended up driving through a chain-link fence, down a service road, and through a wall into the airport's main terminal. As seen in the clips, the truck smashed through the wall and hit a car rental service desk, behind which two people stood. Luckily, the secured desk prevented the truck from hitting the employees, and they escaped without any injuries. The area was mostly empty due to the late hour. In addition to the damage caused to the building, the truck also hit a luggage conveyor belt. Total damages are estimated to be around $250,000.
