I purchased this truck about 3 years ago as a project. I went completely through the truck mechanically. When I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new radiator, clutch set, and starter. I took it one step further and installed new rear brake shoes, Thrush glass pack mufflers, front and rear shocks, rear bearings and seals, u-joints and carrier bearing, water pump, distributor, heads, camshaft, and Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb. The heads are PBM / Dart brand street heads with 2.02 / 1.60 stainless valves and 67 cc chambers. The camshaft is a mild street grind with a good lope. I don't know how many miles are on the 350 that is in the truck. It is standard bore, but does not smoke or make any noises. The truck is super dependable and always starts no matter how cold it is outside. The truck has the original SM420 granny low 4 speed transmission. 3:08 gears were installed for better highway driving.
As far as the body goes, when I purchased the truck it had new front fenders. The truck is painted blitz black, with hugger orange wheels and beige bumpers. The bumpers aren't perfect and the front is tweeked a little on the passenger side. I am not a body and paint man, so the the bed sides, tail gate, back of the cab, and hood have some minor dents and waves. The bed is the worst part of the truck. I tried showing a picture of the worst bubble on the bed. It had some pin holes that I repaired when I painted the truck but they are bubbling up in some places. There are some small places of rust through on the bed floor. I herculined the inside of the bed and bed floor. As far as the cab goes, I intalled new partial floors, inner and outer rockers, cab mounts and cab supports. On the passenger side door is rubbing on the rocker panel. I tried showing a picture of it. BTW, I completely rebuilt the door hinges with new pins and bushings. The truck is super solid. The cab corners were patched but are super solid. I completely painted the frame and suspension of the truck. The truck has been lowered with cut springs in the front and lowering springs and blocks in the rear. I installed new weather stripping around the doors and new chrome sill plates. A new chrome Grant steering wheel along with a chrome bullet horn button was installed. All lights and turn signals work good.
The interior has a completely reupolstered seat with grey tweed and black vinyl. New carpet, chrome steering wheel was installed as well as a new dash pad. The truck is radio delete. The emergency brakes do not work. One of the levers on the heater controls is broke off but you can still get a grip on it. The heater works but the blower motor only works on high. the front windshield is frosty around the outside edge. All the other glass is good but does have some scratches from years of use.

There are some things that I forgot to list last night when I posted the add. The truck has manual drum brakes all the way around. They don't stop like disc brakes but they work great and the truck stops nice and straight. The tires have like new tread on them. They are BF Goodrich TA's 255/70/15. Mechanically the truck is excellent and super dependable. I would not hesitate to hop in the truck and drive it anywhere. It may cost you a small fortune in gas but it will get you there. The steering is nice and tight and the steering wheel is good and centered. The truck does not leak from anywhere that I can find. It will not leave spots of oil all over the driveway. One bad thing. The Speedo is slow. I'm not sure how slow it is but I'm guessing it is between 10 - 20 mph slower than the speed the truck is actually driving.
A couple of things I wanted to point out is the fact that this truck does not have alot of the normal rust that you find in these trucks. There is no rust or bubbling over the windshield like so many I see. Under the dash and around the cowl vents are nice and solid.
When I built the truck, I was going to faux patina the trucks, so along all the edges, I painted the truck the same orange color as the wheels to match. I was going to sand the edges to show some of the orange paint through. I liked the way it looked so I never did it but it is an option. I like the patina look so that was my original plan.
I really hate selling the truck, but I have two other trucks of that generation and not enough room so one has to go. Anyway it is a nice truck and it has been well cared for while I have owned it.

I remembered a couple more things that I thought of. The windows have brand new window regulators so the windows roll up and down nice and smooth. I'm also a big fan of chrome bullets so they are here and there. There are chrome bullets covering the wiper arm posts. I never drove the truck in the rain, so I never needed wipers. I have wiper arms, so if the purchaser would like to run wipers he is welcome to them. The lug nuts are nice chrome bullets style along with the license plate bolts.
The trailing arms on the truck are as solid as I have ever seen. There is none of the typical rust through or separation you see on the trailing arms of most of these trucks.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
