I have too many toys, so I have decided to sell a few of them.  This auction is for my 1995 Chevrolet K1500 4x4 Silverado.  It is a beautiful truck that needs nothing other than a new home.  It is a very reliable truck that I would drive anywhere with no concerns.

This 1995 Chevy is basically a new truck.  Everything is new. 

I have owned this truck for about 4 years.  It was painted just before I purchased it.  There was a fender bender prior to it being painted.  The driver's side cab corner and rocker were repaired.  The driver's door was also bent a bit and was replaced (easier option).  The driver's door didn't get painted on the inside (dark green)...and the rocker is still in primer.  I wasn't worried about it since I planned to use bedliner to paint the inside of the doors and the rockers on both sides.  I have not had the time to do that yet.  I do have a couple of cans of blue paint that would match that I am including in case you want to paint it blue again.  I also have a little extra paint from when the truck was painted (both colors).  The body was rust free when it was painted...and it is still rust free.  It looks nice with the medium blue paint and dark blue fender flares and Super Sport stripes on the hood.  I don't drive it in the winter.  From how clean the underside is, I would say it saw very little winter driving.  It is clean enough to eat off of...still has original paint underneath.  The body and paint still look great.  The truck is nice enough to take to shows.  It is not perfect in every way, but it is a 1995 Chevrolet and is very nice for the age.  I don't drive it off-road (too pretty).  It is a pavement pounder.  It would be a very capable off-road toy if so desired. 

The truck is all decked out.  The cowl hood is a nice steel hood.  The truck also has a sun roof.  There are tons of other extras -- Ranch Hand bumpers (front and rear), aftermarket tail lights, HID headlights, new horns, roll bar with KC Lights (never used), another pair of KC Lights on the front bumper (never used), blue windshield wipers (dual blade), vent shades, chrome diamond plate bed caps, chrome on the lower body, big whip CB antennas, chrome door handles, chrome tailgate handle, chrome fuel door cover, wiper huggies (help the windshield wipers work better), tinted windows, fender flares, rubber bed mat, etc.....way too much to list. 

It is not just pretty...everything is great mechanically, too.  There is so much to talk about...I will try to cover the basics.  The truck shows 221872 miles on the odometer.  I have driven it a little over 4000 miles since I purchased it.  During that time, everything has been gone through.  The engine was supposed to have been replaced before I purchased the truck and had low miles on it.  The 350 engine has been tuned up (belts, hoses, plugs, wires, etc.), had the timing set, and has been thoroughly checked over.  If anything needed replaced, it was replaced.  It has a new throttle body spacer (Helix Power Tower)...K&N cold air intake system...a new battery...and so on.  The truck runs great.  I never use the AC, so I am sure it needs to be recharged (if you want to use it).  The radiator is new.  The headers were just installed...with new true dual exhaust.  It sounds great with the Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers and Magnaflow tips.  The truck has 3.73 gears and has no problems at any speed whether driving it in town or on the highway.  The front differential has been replaced.  The 4-wheel-drive actuator is new.  The steering gear box is new.  The whole front end has been rebuilt (ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod ends, etc.)...and it has been freshly aligned.  Basically everything in the front end is new.  The transfer case has been flushed and inspected.  It is in good working order.  The transmission is new (overdrive).  All u-joints in the truck are new.  The rear end has new axle shafts, bearings, seals, etc.  All brakes are new -- pads and calipers in the front, shoes in the rear, etc.  Everything has been gone through.  It is like a new truck.

The Silverado is lifted with big tires.  It is like a monster truck.  The truck has a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift (7 inches of lift) and new 35" Dick Cepek Crusher tires.  The tires are similar to Super Swamper Boggers but last a lot longer.  They are great tires.  The tires are mounted to nice polished aluminum wheels.  The tires make the nice hum sound going down the road.  It is like music to my ears. 

The interior is very nice for a 1995 Chevrolet truck.  The interior is blue and is very clean.  There are a couple of cigarette burns on the seats (from a previous owner - I don't smoke).  There are a couple of cracks on the dash, too.  There is minimal wear on the driver's seat.  Other than that, it is nice.  The truck has power windows and locks.  It has a Sony CD player, Sony 6.5" speakers in the doors, and a nice setup under the back seat with 2 10" Kicker subs powered by a Kicker amp.  The stereo system is basically new and sounds great.  All gauges work properly.  Everything works fine.  There are other extras, too -- pedal covers, steering wheel cover, nice floor mats in the front and back, new inside door handles (with visors and power window switch covers to match), etc.  There are many new parts...too many to mention.

This truck rides like a Cadillac going down the highway.  Even on bumpy streets in town, it still rides nice (especially for a lifted truck).  It is a nice looking truck.  It runs, drives, and sounds great.  Everyone compliments me on the truck.  I will regret selling it, but I have too many toys.

I will be happy to show you the truck if you would like to give it a personal inspection.  Also feel free to ask questions.  I may have left something out (too much information to mention on this truck).

Thanks and Happy Bidding.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
