This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side. I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005. Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen. Runs and drives flawlessly. It is hard to believe how well this truck drives. I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it. You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is. I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.
The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006. Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles. I do have receipts and documentation of this. Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me. I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck. Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer. This is correct. I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle. I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build. Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold. Updated Throttle Body. Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors. New valve springs. Chrome Headers. New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed. Truck has a great sound. Not loud just very deep. No exhaust drone sound at any RPM. Very nice to cruise in. I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums. I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny. If you want to get nasty with it you can. Great runner with good fuel economy. When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated. Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear. Tires have decent tread. Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous. Body of the truck is great. There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail. Looks like an elbow mark. I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it. The bed of the truck is in excellent shape. There are a few rock chips on the front. Overall, the paint is in great shape. Not an all out show truck, but very close. Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. Interior is stock and in great shape. No rips or tears in seat. Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition. The fuse door cover is broken. I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do. I am a Harley Davidson dealer. I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades. Please contact me to discuss values. I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage. This GMC truck is a knock out. Gets looks everywhere I go. Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space. Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else. |

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars
Tue, May 10 2016Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**
Tue, 05 Aug 2014General Motors has just announced pricing for its new midsize pickup trucks, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Chevy's truck starts at $20,100, *not including $895 for destination, and the GMC starts at $20,995, **not including $925 for destination. These prices are for the base, extended cab models with the 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
Comparatively, these prices fit nicely with the $18,125 starting MSRP of the Toyota Tacoma and the $21,510 of the Nissan Frontier. Compared to the Colorado, the Canyon's extra $895 gets you niceties like LED running lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a four-way power driver's seat.
Both trucks come standard with the 2.5-liter engine, and a more powerful, 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 will also be available. Pricing has not been announced for the upcoming diesel model, which is expected to launch for the 2016 model year.
