Mesa, Arizona, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : norinenmmenesez@radiouk.com .
EXTERIOR:
The exterior body and paint was finished 5 years ago by the previous owner,
in the trucks original two toned Hawaiian Blue / Cameo White finish. The paint
is base coat / clear coat applied, and shows extremely well. The body is
straight, but does have a few small brush touch ups from normal roads chips,
etc. Overall, the exterior paint and body on the truck is a solid 7 out of 10.
Shows extremely well, shines well, and should last the new buyer years to
come! The paint and body would be considered a “very nice driver quality”
paintjob that looks beautiful, but has some very small flaws.
In addition to the newer paint, the truck has recieved the following items in
the last few months:
. Brand new exterior upper and lower trim, Cheyenne Emblems, windshield,
and rear glass with new gaskets, new front and rear chrome bumpers, Brand
new sprayed in bedliner from Tuff Skin, with a 5 year transferrable warranty,
brand new staggered 22x9 and 22x11 chrome Ridler wheels with brand new
tires, Complete grille assembly, bowtie, exterior mirrors, brand new HID ultra
clear headlights, new turn, brake, and backup lenses and bulbs, antennae,
deluxe side markers, wipers, gaskets, and complete trim / hardware front to
back! The paint work is 5 years old, but everything else is either brand new
or was replaced with new parts in the past 4 months. The exterior shows
extremely well, is very clean and tidy, and gets many thumbs up anywhere this
old girl goes!
INTERIOR:
The interior of the truck is 90% brand new , with the exception of the inner cab
paint on the inside of the roof and around the back glass inside the truck
which is original, and in immaculant shape! The complete dash, door jambs,
and doors have been repainted recently and are nearly perfect. The following
items have been restored / replaced with brnad new GM parts within the past
few months:
Brand new factory bench seat reupholsted with brand new foam, and custom
vinyl seat cover with custom done plaid inserts that match the trucks finish
beautifully. Brand new factory style blue loop carpet and jute padding, brand
new dash pad, defrost vents, headliner, and trim , sill plates and hardware,

new. The interior is stunning against the trucks exterior and ties into the
Cheyenne theme very well! No disappointments here, beautiful interior that is
almost completely new, and shows extrememly well.
DRIVETRAIN:
The truck is an original 68,000 mile box A truck on the body, with a little over
5k miles on a recently installed GM crate 350 motor with 350 horsepower. The
motor is as sound as they come with the following brand new parts:
. Brand new HEI distributor, plugs, and wires.
. Newer water pump, belts, 4 core radiator, heater hoses, and heater core.
. Factory A/C cab truck that has had the original A/C recently completely
switched over from R12 to a modern 134A system by upgrading all hoses,

ice cold and works perfectly!
. Brand new Edelbrock 600cfm 4 barrel carburator, with new Edelbrock
aluminum performer intake manifold, Newer Hedman headers with 2.5” exhaust
all the way back with new Flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust, side tips, etc.

that shifts flawlessly and with little effort. New flex plate, torque converter and
bolts. New one piece drive shaft with new u-joints makes its way out to the
trucks factory 12 bolt 373 geared rear end that also works flawlessly and is a

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
