Garage Find!

This truck was purchased back in 1997 from the original owner and driven to my garage intending to just take the moldings off and have it painted. It turned into a full blown body off restoration. The fenders and inner skirts were rusted, the doors, rockers and floors were rusted along with the bed, etc. All new NOS sheet metal was located and purchased: Hood, Radiator Support, Both Fenders, Both Inner Fenders, Both Rocker panels.

New replacement floors were obtained along with inner rockers, cab corners, floor supports and new body mounts. These were all installed professionally by a restoration technician. A bed was found out of state and trucked in. It was rust free but improper shipping caused some damage which had to be repaired by the same restoration tech, With the vehicle down this far it was decided to remove the engine and send it out to be rebuilt/overhauled by a local a machine shop. It returned and is wrapped in lawn/garden bags to keep out moisture and dust. 4 or 5 years into the project the owner (my friend) got serious with his now (now married) and has several other projects going: a fiberglass bodied 360 powered jeep cj, and a 1987 Buick Grand National with 20,000 original miles on it, plus others. He finally sold the truck and all the parts to another friend of mine a couple years ago, with the intention of finishing it but his 1970 Chevelle SS396 came first. Now he has been laid off and I want my Garage back! There are a bunch of new parts that go with it also: Big radiator, new fuel tank, new stainless steel fuel lines, edlebrock aluminum intake manifold, 4 new off road springs, 4 brand new off road shocks, new u-bolts, etc. The seat was sent out for reupholstery and never picked up, so that is missing. The windshield was stone pitted and discarded, the backglass was an original aluminum slider and was planned to have a newer updated glass installed. The front bumper and rear bumper were sent out for replating and he never got them back. Between the cost of the truck purchase, all the parts, and the labor paid out there was over 15,000 invested in the truck as it sits. Right now NOS hoods sell for $950.00, Fenders go for $500.00 each, The doors are going for $950.00 each, a good cab will set you back $1500.00 + shipping, and a rot free/damage free bed can cost $2000.00++. Still have all the moldings that separated the two tone and they are in good shape. A whole set on ebay could bring $600.00+, not counting the straight frame and front axle (w/lock out hubs)and rear axle. This could be purchased and parted out and double your $$ at least. Or finish it and it could bring $25K to $30K. Cash or Bank check only - no Pay Pal as ebay gets enough of our money, and now Pay Pal reports the income to the IRS! No shipping - pick up only...Happy Bidding!

2022 GMC Sierra gets overhauled interior, new Denali Ultimate and AT4X

Fri, Oct 22 2021

GMC Sierra's 2022 update is here, boasting a ground-up interior redesign, an updated Super Cruise package with trailering support, and two new trims aimed at very different buyers. While the GMC Sierra's bones are undeniably good, its interior has really held it back from our full-throated support in recent years. The pricier trims of the refreshed 2022 model may well erase those shortcomings entirely.  Hot on the heels of its revamped platform mate, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado, the new Sierra arrives with a similar suite of upgrades, plus a few items that will remain exclusive to the fancy-pants Sierra for now, like Enhanced Super Cruise with available automatic lane-change and trailering mode. As with the Silverado, the Sierra's 2.7-liter four-cylinder gets an upgraded block and internals, allowing for a higher torque output (420 pound-feet), which means it makes even more torque than the 5.3-liter V8. Diesel models also enjoy some chassis upgrades that allow for the fitment of GMC's Max Tow package. That allows a diesel Sierra 1500 4x2 to handle 13,200 pounds and the 4x4 model to tow up to 13,000 even.  Still, the 2022 Sierra's most noteworthy improvements are to be found inside, and what better way to showcase an upgraded interior but with a new, range-topping luxury trim? Say hello to the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate.  This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate unveiled Denali represents a huge chunk of Sierra sales, and when your branding is based around upscale sophistication, you sure want to put your best foot forward at the top of the pricing structure. GMC wasn't quite there with the outgoing Sierra Denali, but the new Denali Ultimate may just be the ticket to one-upping the likes of the swanky Ram 1500 Limited.  This is the no-holds-barred, all-options-checked model that really makes GMC money. The 6.2L V8, 10-speed automatic and Super Cruise are standard on Denali Ultimate. All of the leather and wood elements visible here are real (seriously, you can touch them and everything). There's also a faux suede headliner, 16-way power-adjustable and massaging front seats, a 12-speaker Bose system and a 15-inch color HUD included.  GMC included several unique elements for Ultimate, including topographical maps and the latitude and longitude of Mount Denali formed into various interior trim pieces.

GMC Syclone pickup returns via Special Vehicle Engineering

Tue, Apr 16 2019

The original GMC Syclone was a 1991 mid-size Sonoma pickup turned muscle truck. Its heavily modified 4.3-liter V6 sported a turbocharger, intercooler, and modified internals, raising output to a Corvette-baiting 280 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The engine was paired with a four-speed automatic, rear-biased all-wheel drive, and four-wheel antilock brakes (the coming thing). With an all-black livery and a lowered ride height, the Syclone looked the business, and backed up those looks with a 0-to-60 time of 4.3 seconds and a 13.4-second quarter-mile, according to contemporary magazine testing. Given all the recent interest in high-performance pickups, it's amazing that GMC hasn't revived the Syclone. But where manufacturers leave an opening, the aftermarket steps in — in this case that's Specialty Vehicle Engineering, which as CNET reports is resurrecting the nameplate for a build of 100 new Syclones, based on the GMC Canyon, which will update the idea a lot more horsepower. The 2019 Syclone takes as its starting point the extended-cab version of the Canyon. The engine is again a V6, this time a 3.6-liter fitted with a supercharger and a custom cat-back exhaust system, upping output to 455 ponies from the stock 306. SVE's Syclone can be had with rear- or all-wheel drive, and it, too, features upgrades to the brakes and chassis. Six-piston front calipers are fitted in place of the standard four-piston units, and the slotted front rotors are upsized from 12.2 inches to 13.6. The suspension is lowered by two inches up front and five inches at the rear, with stiffer traction bars, bushings, dampers, and a heftier rear anti-roll bar. Unlike the original, the modern Syclone can be had in colors other than black — any of the standard Canyon hues are available — but the appearance is customized with rocker-panel extensions, body-color grille and rear bumper, and a composite hood insert. The interior gets embroidered logos and badges, including a numbered plaque on the dash. The price for the Syclone is $39,995 — that's for the package, on top of the cost of the truck. But at least ordering is easy: The Syclone package can be ordered through select GMC dealers.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
