I am listing my plum crazy truck for sale.  Color is actually called Hawaiian orchid and it is factory original color for this truck.  I am starting this listing off about 1/2 the cost to build or the about the cost of the paint, wheels, tires and interior.  Project was finished just over 2 and a half years ago and I have put a good 20k miles on this truck since its completion.  the 300hp Vortec 5.3L engine is all stock and yields 18-19mpg in my average day to day driving.  Best I have seen so far on the highway is 23mpg and pulls off 21-22 on hwy driving very consistently and that's with the truck running a moderately aggressive 3.73 gear ratio with auburn limited slip unit in the 10 bolt factory rear.  The 4L60E was completely rebuilt with every possible upgrade I could find as I was going to build a much stronger motor to go with it but things change and looking to do a completely different project now.  AC, Cruise control, gauges ALL work just like the engine would have come in this truck.  While the bed, doors and hood were removed for painting, I do not consider the paint to be a show quality level paint.  Its smooth and not bad by any means but just not what I consider show quality.  The main flaw with the paint is the fiberglass lid in one of the groves that I pictured in the last picture.  No dings or chips otherwise in the paint but paint is 2 years old now so not quite as fresh.  Pictures were taken very recent for this listing so they aren't 2 year old pictures or anything. I try to be very honest about my listings.  Seat is from a newer Chevy truck and recovered in the spirit of the paint and door panels were redone to match and the panel where the switches are were painted to match the body when the truck was painted.  You can see on the drivers door where the stupid seat belt wants to get hung in the door has mess up the paint a bit.  I have been meaning to have some touch up paint made for the door but as you see that hasn't happened.  Also lined the cab with .050 dynamat sound deadener while the carpet was being replaced as well. I mildly lowered the truck 2" coils in the front and 4" shackle hanger drop in the rear with belltech shock relocators in the rear to maintain a factory ride quality with just a set of replacement Monroe shocks.  I also had the bed coated with spray in liner and I put a rubber mat on top of that coating on the floor just to keep it nice and allow me to still use the truck as a truck since I didn't build it as a show truck but rather a nice cool daily driver truck.  The wheels are 18" Boss 338's 8" in front and 10" in rear with 255/50R18 up front and 295/45R18 in back.

 

If you like this body style truck and love the new LS engines power and fuel economy, then you will like this truck. I spent a lot of time tuning the computer to get the gas mileage numbers it makes and a lot of time getting everything fully functional so its not just an average drop it in and hope everything works build.  A lot of time and effort has gone into this truck so that it runs every bit as well as it looks.  While the truck shows 235k on the odometer that is about the only thing original left in the truck.  If your located a long way from here, fly in and drive it home.  It will easily make the trip.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing

Tue, Aug 14 2018

We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
