This truck is drop dead gorgeous. Completely restored in 2007. This truck has never been in the rain, always garaged (of course), and runs like a champ. I will do my best to describe everything so the winner knows exactly what they are buying. Once the reserve is met, high bidder owns it. If you have any questions or doubts, please ask or just do not bid. This is a beautiful preowned and 60+ year old vehicle. It is sold as is with no warranty implied.
The monster 454 that is crammed in there runs great and strong. Very easy starting and has a great low rumble through the exhaust. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic which has a very slow leak at the rear seal, I believe. It is slow and never bothered me because I was going to put a 4 speed auto in it anyway. Just never got around to it. The engine runs nice and cool in part by its two electric fans. The A/C runs ICE-cold and can handle this Florida heat with no problem. There have been many unique touches done to this truck which makes it look flat out cooler than any other out there. The most notable would be the flared fenders. It also has power steering and a parking brake which I've never used because it looks to me as the release mechanism has become disconnected or was never properly installed. As you can see in the photos, the firewall is nice and cleaned up in part because I removed the heater hoses. It looks better without them and I do not need them in Florida. Hook them back up if you like. The brake booster has been moved to under the driver's seat and the battery is moved under the passenger's seat. Boom. Clean firewall.
All the gauges work, but the speedometer is not accurate. All the lights work except the interior left turn blinker. The exterior lights function perfectly. But that one interior one does not. There is a master shut-off. There is an alarm in this truck that absolutely drove me nuts. I took out the blaring siren, but if you set the alarm off, the hazards still blink. It has an airbag-ride system up front so you can select your desired ride height. When you park the truck, you must have the wheels straight as they airbags are designed to leak out slowly over a couple of days. When I parked it for several days, I always put hard rubber blocks under the truck and released a lot of the air so the truck wouldn't lay on the ground and it released some of that pressure. Don't turn the wheels to sharply if you're riding low. It will rub. I usually ran it at about 80 lbs. That kept the wheels the most perpendicular to the ground. This truck has brand new tires all the way around. It has ORIGINAL Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels on this truck. You can't get them like this anymore. They were not offered in a chrome finish. The original owner had them chromed, but it is now starting to pit and flake off. I would HIGHLY recommend keeping these wheels and re-chroming them. That was my intention, anyway. The truck currently has 1 inch lowering blocks in the rear. It had 3 inch lowering blocks under there, but it rode a little rougher.
I drive this truck. About once or twice every two weeks. I drive it to work and I drive it to shows. Therefor, the paint is not perfect. There are numerous little chips and a couple of scratches. Some of the larger ones have been touched up. I think this is a testament to the reliability of how well this truck drives and performs. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE IT. By far the worst scratches are on the running boards, where apparently one of the previous owners thought it was OK to step on them getting in and out of the truck. Thankfully, I believe these running boards can be unbolted, re-shot, and bolted right back into place. That easy. Again, one of the things I planned on doing but never got around to it. Please be aware this vehicle has paint blemishes and is not perfect.
The interior is beautiful and simple. Dash is painted blue, steering wheel wrapped in blue leather, and blue leather seats. It has a radio but it not hooked up. It does have an iPod terminal which is hooked up and works great. The air bag toggles and gauges are located in the center console. None of the panels covered in black fabric are
permanently attached. This is to allow access to the airbag hoses and connectors should they ever need work. Mileage shows 8600 miles, but true milage is unknown. This vehicle does not look like it has been driven 8600 miles. There is wear on the leather that covers the seatbelt sleeve and a tear on it as well. The previous owner installed speakers in the kick panels and he ran speaker wire where the battery access panel is. Kinda the short way out, but it's OK. It's an awesome truck.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
