1979 C10 Patina, bagged, shop truck.

 

Unique, patina’d 79 square body that has been daily driven for the past few years (weather permitting).  Can drive this one anywhere and get plenty of attention.

 

Very solid original truck

50,475 miles on the odometer.  (Do not know if this is original miles or not)

Originally built by RPM Hot Rods

Custom faux patina painted by Jerome Borris

350 engine, T350 trans – runs smooth and fires up with 1 pump of the pedal every time.  Strong trans, shifts smooth.

Porterbuilt Drop-member with factory arms modified for air bags

Porterbuilt 4-link rear with stepped rear rails

Front and rear bags, AVS switch box with Parker Valves.  7 switch AVS controller to raise & lower all 4 corners at once, front/rear separately, or 4 corner individually controlled

Lays frame when dropped

Low ride height, about 4” at the rockers, so it looks cool driving not just when it is dumped when parked.

Full steering travel lock to lock with out rubbing (custom inner fenders raised and widened for clearance)

Custom billet “steelies” 20’s and 22’s with original center caps.  Nitto tires

Custom sheet metal bed floor and wheel tubs bead rolled and bedlined.

Tie downs in the bed for your bike, bobber, or just hauling gear.

Pockets in back to hold army style gas cans

Actual gas tank mounted below the bed.  Filled through chrome cap in bed floor.  Fuel gauge works and is accurate.

 

Interior is nice and fairly clean.  The rug and carpet on the lower doors could probably use replacing or a good shampooing, but it fits the character of the truck as is so I never changed it.  Can be purchased new from LMC or Brother’s truck for a hundred bucks.  (Wet spot on the driver floor from wet shoes in pictures.  There are no stains or discoloration in the carpet.)   New seat foam and cover.  Cover has a weathered look that again goes perfectly with the truck.  Air gauge put into the lower left of the factory gauge cluster.  Everything works except the speedo.  Cable needs to be replaced, I never got around to doing it.  GPS App on my iPhone was free and worked good enough!  Otherwise the truck is mechanically and electrically sound.

 

New Alpine stereo installed this summer ($1,500 in parts) .  Alpine top of the line head unit with Blue Tooth, hands free phone, ipod, CD, etc…  Amps mounted below the seat.  Two 5.5” Alpine speakers in the door and two alpine 6x9’s in the rear cab corners.  Rockford Fosgate P3 sub behind the seat.  A lot of stereo for a small cab, but it sounds bitchen.

 

This is a bad ass truck that I hate to sell, but have a baby on the way and a few other projects.  Not interested in trades or low ball offers.  Do not bid if you do not plan to pay for it.  Clean, clear title in my name and ready to be signed over to you!

 

Located in Mundelein, IL (Northern suburb of Chicago).  Truck is available to inspect by appointment.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.

The Chevrolet Bolt is headed to China as a Buick SUV

Thu, Jan 16 2020

When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick. We may just have corroboration for that theory. On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China.  There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance. Chevy Bolt-based prototype View 16 Photos If the Chinese report is accurate, there is one significant difference under the skin. Per the application, the Buick crossover variant is to be powered by a 174-horsepower electric powertrain. That's down 26 horsepower from the Bolt EV's powertrain, and we can't help but think that a lifted Buick variant might just need every pony it can get.  The needs of the Chinese market are unique, and we're certain GM knows what it's doing if these figures are accurate. We have no reason to believe Buick plans to sell the Velite 7 EV here in the States, though we expect an updated Chevy Bolt eventually, and we wouldn't be surprised if Buick brings something along shortly to fill the void left by the departure of the Regal sedan and its variants.  Related Video:
