There. We just did. Excuse our French, but the GMC Topkick/Chevy Kodiak pickup by Monroe Truck Equipment is the first real work truck in this industry rag that deserves some enthusiast hyperbole. Build a solid work truck Bill Bolin of Rancho Motors in Victorville, Calif. says four of the nine customers who bought the Monroe conversion last year traded in one-ton duallies. The new toy haulers and horse trailers are heavy, especially those with living quarters. The one tons, while having comparable engine sizes and transmissions as the 4500, don’t have the braking system or the gear ratio to handle the real heavy hauling. Phil Murphy will tell you. Murphy owns an excavation and paving company in Phoenix, Ariz. His smaller 1/2- and one-ton trucks were not doing the job. "In both of them I replaced the rear end, bent and cracked the frames, and went through the brakes, clutch and transmission," he says. "I realized it’s not the truck, it’s what I’m pulling and hauling." Murphy bought himself a 4500 pickup by Monroe and gave it a workout. "I’ve put 9,000 lbs. in the bed while hooked up to a trailer with a forklift on it at 20,000 lbs. and went from Phoenix to Flagstaff," Murphy says. "The truck never broke sweat. I was going up hills at 55 mph." GM added more brawn to the ‘06 models. Four-wheel-drive is now an option, expanding the work possibilities to more rugged environments such as forestry, snowplowing, landscaping, agriculture, tree trimming and utility work. All new 4x4 C4500 and C5500 models feature an 8,000-lb. front axle rating as standard equipment, an additional 1,000 lbs. better than the base axle of the previous year. The ‘06 4x4s also offer an exhaust brake option, which helps the vehicle decelerate without using the service brakes. That’s a huge lifesavings in brake pads and important in preventing overheating during long mountain descents. Add the wow factor The mad scientists at Monroe created the signature eight-foot steel bed with bed panel lines that seamlessly match the contours of the Kodiak/TopKick body. MTE designed a unique subframe for mounting the pickup box to the truck frame, which accommodates a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch without extra drilling. In fact, one can be swapped out for the other without invasive surgery. Hitching is easier with the Hitchcam rear-view camera option, mounted directly above the rear receiver, and in-cab flat-screen monitor. The familiar GM 3500 Series interior gets a makeover with brushed aluminum or woodgrain dash trim. The Ultra Seating Package includes leather seats with air suspension and a fold-flat rear seat for the crew cab. See the spec sidebar for more option goodies.
An S10? That may be an overstatement, but the truck’s sloped-hood design and large windshield gives drivers the ability to see objects on the ground as close as 13.8 feet from the front bumper. That’s even better than the forward visibility measurements of many compact pickup trucks. The 53-degree wheel-cut on the 4x2 results in a turning diameter as tight as 38.4 feet — better than a crew-cab dually pickup. Yet at 95 inches tall and proud, you’re staring down any mega pickup or a 79-inch Hummer H2 at a stoplight. |

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus
Fri, Jun 16 2023General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.
GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses
Thu, Apr 7 2016May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
