 If you want a very very well built short bed with the best of everything then this is the truck for you.  It was built really tuff but not treated to any abuse. I will try and list any and all upgrades, maintenance done, flaws….etc below. But if you any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to text or call me at 785-317-1249.

1984 Chevy/GMC shortbed 4x4

Chassis
-Dana 60 front one ton axle, new bearings, seals, gears which are 4.11, poison spider cross steer arm, new steel braided brake lines, new banjo fittings, new dual steering stabilizers

-14 bolt full float rear one ton axle, new gears 4.11, new oil, new bearings, new welded blue torch fab differential cover, new disk brake conversion done, new rotors, new pads, new brake lines, and upper steel braided flex line too, also has a Auburn limited slip locker.

-drives shafts both front and rear are new and built by a good driveshaft shop. and have new u-joints installed

-TH400 transmission rebuilt with high performance clutches and steels, shift kit, and b&m 2400 stall converter, and new fluid

-NP208 transfer case, rebuilt with new seals, bearings, and chain, new fluid and new polyurethane mount, the transfer case is dropped down 1 inch by solid metal spacers not cheap pipe or a weak bracket. Done right

-the truck has dual gas tanks. I’ve only used the one and have never used the other. I think the switch is bad or a wire is disconnected. Never really messed with it.

Steering
The frame area by the steering box typically is a failure point on these trucks and this one was in good shape with no cracks but I went ahead and strengthened this area a little by adding a brackets that goes to the cross member so that not as much stress is put on the frame rail. All grade 8 hardware was used. The steering box is new and is a 2wd GM steering box and a F150 drop steering arm was installed for the cross steer conversion. Connected to the steering arm DOM tubing with weld bungs professionally tig welded and 7/8 seal heim joints were installed with 5/8 grade 8 bolts holding to the steering arm on the box and the axle. Steers really nice

Lift
10 inch new super lift front springs, new dana 60 3/8 thick spring pads, new stud kit, new u-bolts, at the top of the springs I installed new polyurethane bushings and fully greasable bolts. Add 3/8 thick shackles that are 1” taller than stock, new upper bushings as well and I increased the size of the bushing and bolt because that is another common weak point in these chevy trucks. For the rear I did a 4 inch reverse shackle kit that was built of 1/4 inch plate and bolted on with all grade 8 hardware, then a 1/4 thick steel 5” shackle, and a add aleaf to the factory springs and a overload spring.  New 3/8 rear spring plates, new u bolts,  and new shocks on all 4 corners. So there is no blocks in this lift system. It was done right. I think the total lift is about 11 inches in front and back.  If your wandering how it rides, its about like any older lifted truck. Don’t expect it to ride like a Cadillac with 11 inches of lift, 1 ton axles, and 40 inch tires. But for drivability I would say, and this in my opinion (I have owned a bunch of these trucks that are lifted), this truck doesn’t ride as bad as others I’ve owned and I have had some ride better but I will say this truck drives the best out of all of these type of lifted up trucks that I have owned.

Wheels/Tires
Wheels are 17x10 eagle alloy black with beadlock rim. Not a true beadlock wheel just the appearance. New black ribbed lugnuts. Tires are 40x13.50x17 and they have maybe 3,000 miles. I would say tread is about 95%

Engine
350 crate engine, less than 10,000 miles, edelbrock package which was the cam, intake, and 600 edelbrock carb. Headers, into new full MANDREL bent exhaust to new true 40 series flow master mufflers. Not eBay knock offs. The exhaust was very expensive but well worth in my opinion, sounds great and tucked up exactly how instructed the hotrod shop to do it. And engine Runs real good. On the engine it has a newer power steering pump and lines and also all new AC compressor, evaporator, seals, lines, and charged and blows cold. Also the heater in this truck blows hot and the defroster works both hot during winter and cold during summer when AC on. The engine also has new motor mounts. Blue Optima battery.

Body
The inner fenders and bed are coated with bedliners. The bumpers are factory chevy bumpers. There is a small scuff on the front bumper and a small dent on the rear bumper but overall the bumpers are in pretty good shape. The rear came off a suburban because I wanted a tighter to the body type bumper and not a big nasty heavy step bumper. The interior has a new covered seat, new carpet, new dash/cover. Its not a new dash but this is not a typical cover it is very tight and clean fitting and no one would no it wasn’t a new dash unless I pointed it out. All guages were disassembled cleaned and re-installed, all guages work, even the original clock works!! The factory radio is gone and a CD player was installed but the volume button is kind of tricky to work. Heat, AC, Defrost work good. This truck does have power windows and power locks. The windows work but the drivers motor I think is worn out. It works but very slow. The power locks sometimes work and and sometimes just click. So if there is any down fall about the interior I would say the power locks need some work and maybe a new drivers window motor, and  a new windshield would make it in my opinion perfect. The windshield has a long crack in it. Not spiderwebed but a long crack that goes across it. Now onto the exterior. The reason I started with this truck is because I wanted a rust free or almost rust free short bed with power windows and locks and build it to be awesome, very stout, done the right way type of truck. When it came to the outside paint it did not turn out the best, and yes I paid a paint shop to do it.  They did use base coat clear coat paint. Not some tractor paint. It is glossy, no or very little filler, and the color is a dark blue but there is a bunch of imperfections in the paint. it’s a decent body and I am not a body guy so I had it done by obviously not the best paint shop. Its not horrible but I think this would have been a really nice 20k dollar truck with the right paint job. I tried to zoom in on some of the photos so you can see but mostly the buffing wasn’t done the best and the clear is very splotchy. Like I said the pictures don’t show it very well.

Overall this truck is not perfect and I don’t claim it to be but it is a very well built strong 4x4, and it drives, steers, and stops real decent for as big as it is, NO RUST or very mi-nute if any other than a little on the bed floor about the size of a 50 cent piece that was stopped by the bed liner, and maybe under the truck there is some surface rust spots but the cab supports, rockers, and floors that are typically rusty are in great condition. I love this truck and hate to get rid of it but I’m on a pretty tight budget right now with trying to build a new house and I could use the extra money.  Maybe later down the road in life I can buy another one to build. I haven’t put this truck up for sale locally yet but I plan to this week so if someone offers me what I’m willing to take for it I will end the auction and sell it. I have a ton of money in this truck and a ton of time in it. Its ready for cruising, turning heads, and/or 4 wheeling. Everything done to this truck I listed above was done less than 1,000 miles ago. Except for the motor. It was the first thing to get upgraded and replaced and that was about 8-10k miles ago.

To list the major flaws again….. because I am a honest seller and I want a honest buyer to purchase this. Power door locks work but not all the time, power windows work but drivers is very slow, dome light comes on once in a while and then goes off ( I think the door popper moves while driving and it make it think the door is open so the light comes on. I usually just open and shut door and it goes back off. Paint is glossy and a nice dark blue but it wasn’t painted very well in my opinion.


I will not pay for shipping but gladly help in make sure it is loaded on a shipper trailer if someone chooses to ship it. I’ve have used a shipping company once and I was very please with the outcome. It cost about $800 for me to get a antique car from California to Kansas. Just to give you a Idea.  Lastly, I will require a $1,000 non-refundable fee towards purchase of the truck paid to me through paypal or wire transfer or cash with in 5 days of auction end. Truck needs to be paid for in cash or bank cashiers check (no personal checks). if you do a money order/cashiers check i will take it to to my bank and they will contact your bank to make sure you have the money and its all good before you ever own this truck. truck must be pick-up within 14 days of auction end. Don’t even waist my time if you only have a finger that can click BID and not pay for what your bidding on.  And if you think I am going to sell this truck for 5k then don’t bother bidding either.
Any questions or if you want more info about truck text or call me at 785-317-1249

Thanks.

Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept foreshadows an affordable, 200-mile EV future [w/videos]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Confirming numerous reports and rumors, Chevrolet introduced the Bolt EV Concept, "a vision" of a 200-mile EV with an entry price of around $30,000. Those lofty promises ride atop a funky crossover that made its global debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The orange five door features a spacious greenhouse, complemented by a glass roof and thin D-pillar. A narrow grille and slim LED headlights crown a high fascia that leaves little ahead of its front axle. It's a similar story in back, as General Motors' design boss Ed Welburn sought to limit overhangs and maintain the Bolt's small footprint. "Form and function have never meshed so well together," Welburn said. "No compromises were made when it came to aesthetics and the elements that contribute to the Bolt EV concept's range, resulting in a unique proportion that's sleek, efficient and obviously a Chevrolet." The cabin is not unlike current Chevrolet compacts, with the MyLink touchscreen and a detached instrument cluster dominating the sparse dash. Unlike cars like the Sonic, which features a similar design for its instrument cluster, A Volt-like display is found over the steering column. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," CEO Mary Barra said. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Take a look at both the official gallery of Bolt images, as well as our live shots. And then scroll on down for more comments from GM brass, in the official press release. Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept Signals Brand's EV Strategy Affordable, long-range concept builds on brand's electrification leadership 2015-01-12 DETROIT – Chevrolet today made a significant statement on its commitment to electrification with the introduction of the Bolt EV concept – a vision for an affordable, long-range all-electric vehicle designed to offer more than 200 miles of range starting around $30,000. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Leveraging the electrification prowess established by Volt and Spark EV, the Bolt EV concept is designed to offer long-range performance in all 50 states and many global markets.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
