Purchased the truck on Ebay in June 2007 near Las Vegas, Nevada.  The seller claimed his grandfather bought the truck new in Vegas. Flew out, replaced the radiator, hoses, belts, changed the oil and headed east. The truck ran like a dream until a tire delaminated in Missouri, eating the passenger inner fender.  


Upon return home, replaced the inner fender, repaired the windshield track, replaced a rocker and had the truck painted on the lower white area.  I had intended to rebuild the engine and trans but this truck ran and runs so well, I couldn't see the point.  Engine is real strong, doesn't smoke or use a significant amount of oil. I have purposely left the engine compartment unrestored to demonstrate to a future buyer that this truck is original and unmolested.   The seller claimed the original engine had been rebuilt and the trans replaced with a rebuilt unit sometime in the last decade.

The only modifications from stock are the addition of headers (I still have the manifolds), a stainless Magnaflow exhaust, door speakers (the holes were already cut) and a modern I-pod ready stereo made to look original.  Everything in the interior is all new.  

I have used this truck as a daily summertime driver and have stored it in a heated garage.  Every year I picked something to improve and did it.  This is a super clean original, unmolested truck.  I would head for the west coast tomorrow in this truck without fear.  I hate to sell it but time to free up space for other toys.  I suspect I will wake up 5 years from now and regret selling this truck.

The paint is 75%.  The hood is very slightly faded (I assume from the desert sun) but I'm sure it would buff out with a power buffer (I don't own one).  Other than one rocker (replaced) the only rust was on the kick panels in the cab.  This has been recently repaired and the cab floor painted.  All the trim has been replaced, windshield is new, shocks new, body mounts new.  The tires are 90%.

Truck is equipped with:  Power steering, Manual brakes (work well and stops straight), A/C (doesn't blow cold but it's all there) and a built in tool box.  I couldn't find replacement locking mechanism for the toolbox, so I fabricated an arrangement that looks original from the outside.   The bed is unrestored because I still occasionally use this truck as a truck.  The bed is dinged and chipped some but there are no rust holes of any sort.

Comes with all of the original stuff I've replaced and a set of chrome wheels with "moon" hubcaps that came on the truck.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady

Mon, Nov 3 2014

Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
