I am listing my plum crazy truck for sale. Color is actually called Hawaiian orchid and it is factory original color for this truck. I am starting this listing off about 1/2 the cost to build or the about the cost of the paint, wheels, tires and interior. Project was finished just over 2 and a half years ago and I have put a good 20k miles on this truck since its completion. the 300hp Vortec 5.3L engine is all stock and yields 18-19mpg in my average day to day driving. Best I have seen so far on the highway is 23mpg and pulls off 21-22 on hwy driving very consistently and that's with the truck running a moderately aggressive 3.73 gear ratio with auburn limited slip unit in the 10 bolt factory rear. The 4L60E was completely rebuilt with every possible upgrade I could find as I was going to build a much stronger motor to go with it but things change and looking to do a completely different project now. AC, Cruise control, gauges ALL work just like the engine would have come in this truck. While the bed, doors and hood were removed for painting, I do not consider the paint to be a show quality level paint. Its smooth and not bad by any means but just not what I consider show quality. The main flaw with the paint is the fiberglass lid in one of the groves that I pictured in the last picture. No dings or chips otherwise in the paint but paint is 2 years old now so not quite as fresh. Pictures were taken very recent for this listing so they aren't 2 year old pictures or anything. I try to be very honest about my listings. Seat is from a newer Chevy truck and recovered in the spirit of the paint and door panels were redone to match and the panel where the switches are were painted to match the body when the truck was painted. You can see on the drivers door where the stupid seat belt wants to get hung in the door has mess up the paint a bit. I have been meaning to have some touch up paint made for the door but as you see that hasn't happened. Also lined the cab with .050 dynamat sound deadener while the carpet was being replaced as well. I mildly lowered the truck 2" coils in the front and 4" shackle hanger drop in the rear with belltech shock relocators in the rear to maintain a factory ride quality with just a set of replacement Monroe shocks. I also had the bed coated with spray in liner and I put a rubber mat on top of that coating on the floor just to keep it nice and allow me to still use the truck as a truck since I didn't build it as a show truck but rather a nice cool daily driver truck. The wheels are 18" Boss 338's 8" in front and 10" in rear with 255/50R18 up front and 295/45R18 in back.
If you like this body style truck and love the new LS engines power and fuel economy, then you will like this truck. I spent a lot of time tuning the computer to get the gas mileage numbers it makes and a lot of time getting everything fully functional so its not just an average drop it in and hope everything works build. A lot of time and effort has gone into this truck so that it runs every bit as well as it looks. While the truck shows 235k on the odometer that is about the only thing original left in the truck. If your located a long way from here, fly in and drive it home. It will easily make the trip.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut
Thu, Mar 5 2015With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.
