Hi, up for grabs is probably one of the nicest trucks your going to come across in your searches....trust me I've
looked. Everything is done and done right. This truck was just completed and underwent a 2 year restoration and
believe me there's no disappointments. Theres only 1,600 miles put on the truck. If your in the market for a GMC
big window step side look no further. Truck is damn near show quality. Below I'm going to try and describe exactly
what I see and know about this truck.
Starting With The Outside: Laser straight and rust free body. Shaved rain roof rails and all emblems. Painted a
satin black with just enough clear to make it pop. There's all new chrome including front bumper, headlight bezels,
parking lamp lenses, outer door handles, mirrors, tailgate chains, wiper cowl and bullet wiper covers(wipers work
and will be included). All glass, frames, rubbers are brand new. I had the glass smoke tinted front to back and
looks great. Bed is many tubbed and has a nice wood kit installed. It shows signs of use because it's used and not
covered up. I replaced the GMC grill for the better looking Chevrolet. All headlights, taillights, and turn signals
work as they should.
Inside: All brand new top to bottom. Whole inside of cab was painted a gloss red and is show quality. Dash was
pulled and painted and an all new wiring harness installed so all electrical is in proper working order. New seat
foam and 2 tone red and black cover. There's new carpet, floor mats, window cranks, inner door handles, inner
rearview mirror, new aftermarket stock looking radio (amp and small sub combo behind seat..needs install) , all new
dash chrome knobs replaced, Ididit chrome tilt steering column and billet steering wheel, billet dash with chrome
face guages (everything works), red headliner and inner glove box. There's a badass Kilduf quick shift floor
shifter installed that works great. Red top Optima Battery and billet battery cover are brand new and are located
behind front seat for easy accessibility. Inside is perfect as you see.
Motor: everything done ! Here we go..... Professionally built 355 small block, Scat crank, Eagle Rods, Speed Pro
pop up Pistons, bored 30 over balanced, true double rolling timing chain, Chromally hardened push rods,...1.5

aircleaner & breather, chrome alternator & brackets, belt system, upgraded chrome power steering and pump, MSD
ignition & HEI distributor, frame mounted master cylinder, oversize 4 core radiator with polished overflow, Erson
valve covers, etc, etc.....you get the idea. Price this motor out and you'll know what your getting. A ton of
horsepower. I'd put this truck up to anything street or track.....badass ! Yes runs on pump gas.
Transmission is a built 350 with 3000 stall that shifts with no hesitation.
Exhaust is a custom Duvall setup with race bullets 3inch pipe....you will love the sound..its a beast !

reduced price. Lug pattern is Chevy 5x4 3/4 front & back.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
