This was an unmolested one-owner truck when I bought it last year, and then drove it from Bullhead City, AZ to Dallas, TX without any trouble. As good as it was then, the truck is better now that it has been completely disassembled and restored. Every part of this truck is either new or rebuilt to like-new condition. Every nut, bolt, bushing, washer, etc. has been replaced on this truck. This is now a "new" old truck.
Chassis was completely disassembled and then media-blasted and primed and painted with PPG epoxy to GM Chassis Black specs. All new chassis and suspension parts include new shocks, new front coil springs, new rear leaf springs and bushings, new sway bar bushings, new upper/lower ball joints, new upper/lower control arm bushings, new engine mounts, new transmission mount, re-tubed and balanced drive shaft, new U-Joints and Carrier Bearing. Differential is the original Dana 60, 12-bolt rear end.
Engine is a 350 GM Crate from 1993 that was completely rebuilt with new pistons/rocker arms/rods/lifters, carb/intake/electric choke, RV cam, and HEI Ignition/Distributor. OEM exhaust manifolds have been ceramic coated, with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust system and Magna-Flo mufflers. The alternator, P/S pump, water pump, fuel pump, and fan clutch are all new/rebuilt. Transmission is the original TH350 and was rebuilt for this restoration. The Power Brake booster and master cylinder are also new.
Factory A/C includes new evaporator, new OEM GM/Delco compressor, all new A/C hoses, and new blower motor.
The interior is all new interior including new color-matched OEM door panels with new handles, seat cover, carpet, instrument panel bezel, steering wheel, dash pad, sun visors, and rear view mirror. New door & ignition are matched to same key. Original AM Push-button radio. Windshield, rear glass, and side vent glass are new.
All body parts were disassembled and individually media-blasted and primed. Body parts that were replaced include new front fenders and new door rocker panels, and only a few minor body repairs were needed for this truck. Bed is as straight as it gets. All body parts were individually painted in original OEM colors, and then reassembled. All chrome body trim is new, with new chrome bumpers and turn lenses, new tail light lenses and trim, and new body side lights.
Also have the original Build Sheet, Protect-O-Plate w/New Vehicle Warranty, Service Parts ID Sheet, Original Owner's Manual, and many work receipts from the original owner, and all of the work that was done to restore this truck.
This is a fresh restoration that was just finished in July 2013. It has been, and still is, kept in a garage. It drives great and has a magnificent low rumble with the new exhaust system. An eye-catching truck and great daily driver.
If you are ready for a truck you can enjoy and not have to work on, then you have found it. Good luck bidding, and thank you.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
