 Here is a factory 1971 Cheyenne Super not a made up conglomeration of parts. This truck was brought from Arkansas and has never seen snow that I know of. This truck has been outfitted with a brand new factory style Hounds Tooth seat cover and ACC Loop carpet. Carpet underlayment consists of the supplied Jute and the whole floor was covered in a Reflix-it style material. New stainless steel sill plates to finish it off. The door panels have been changed over to the 1972 style. This is an original A/C truck but the A/C is not working. New weather stripping around the Doors and Felts around the Door Windows. I replaced the Windshield Gasket too with the correct style. Everything but the Radio and the A/C work. The radio may I just never tried it. It is the OEM Am radio

The suspension on this truck has been upgraded to KYB Shocks on all four corners. The Body Mounts have all been changed to Poly-Urethane along with the Front and Rear Sway Bar mounts. The Front sway Bar has been changed to a 1.5 and the Rear Bar is a 23 mm from an IROC Z. The front and rear have been dropped using CPP springs 4.0 in the Rear and 3.0 in the Front. The Rear also has a CPP adjustable dropped Panhard Rod. I also installed a Power Trax locker in the rear of this truck, it still has the original 3.08 Rear Gears.

Wheels are a Coys 5 spoke design 15x8 in the front dressed with 255 50 15 and the rear 15x10 dressed with 275 60 15. The tires are the same widths 10.5 but run a different diameter 28 in the rear and 26 in the front. Brakes all re built in the rear from the backing plate out to the drum. This truck is extremely tight with no rattles and goes down the road nice and solid. The suspension is set-up very nice. It rides smooth like you would expect it too not choppy and corners with ease. The cornering is very predictable and easily managed.

Exhaust starts off with Hooker Super Comp long tube headers, dumps into a Pypes Stainless Steel dual exhaust system that exits in the factory locations behind the rear tires.

Most of these updates have been in the last year or driving season for us in Maine.

The engine is a rebuilt 454 its been bored .04 and has an aftermarket Crank kit. Its a  very streetable engine. Rods resized and rings are filed to fit.CL 77 bearings with a Melling M77HV oil pump to complete the bottom end. Keith black..04 over 9.0:1 pistons. Aluminum heads Roller Rockers, Comp Cams adjustable guide plates, Comp Cam's cam custom ground for this truck, Performer RPM intake, and Edelbrock 850 cfm Thunder Series carburetor. Transmission is a rebuilt th350 shift kit with a converter 2100rpm

Paint was done about 15 years ago and still looks good. This is a very dependable truck that I drive to and from work occasionally. about an hour or so each way. It does have a big 4 core radiator and has no overheating issue or bad manners sitting in traffic. I built this truck to drive.

Yes this is a HOT ROD and you will not be disappointed with it. it does behave very nice and I let my 24 year old daughter drive it is that nice to drive and is manageable.

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes

Wed, Feb 19 2014

There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
