tons of photos below...but PLEASE take time to read the following...

the truck is a strong running, reliable, complete, turn-key driver...ready to cruise, burn-out, show, & bar hop. 
it has a pumped up big block 70's chevy 454 motor that runs great and starts without problem. 
new high crank battery, 2 gauge wiring, & Jegs race starter handle the hottest starts and an aluminum radiator w/custom fan & shroud combo help cool it.
it's my dependable daily driver...take it from san jose to sacramento and back without problem...choke works great for cold starts.
it has headers, a big cam,  454 high flow intake...great sound & lopey idle w/small glass pack turn down exhaust.
it has a 3-speed turbo 400 automatic transmission from a 70's truck as well...it was just flushed & sealed up 1k miles ago.
has super tall lokar floor shifter w/boot & polished knob...it's paired with a chrome spoon gas pedal.
has a low mile camaro 12-bolt rearend w/411 gearing and POSI-traction also flushed & sealed 1k miles ago
...the combo is scary. it's a real balls to the wall hot rod...easy to light up.
engine bay is matte black and nothing special...


it's shaved & nosed...all trim, handles, mirrors, fuel filler, etc...
no door poppers...reach in thru the vent windows and open...
it's actual flat red paint, in great shape with gloss white accents on cab, grill, and flipped front bumper. (gives a lower/frown look)
body is super straight and smooth. frame is true...the matte finish, natural body lines, and smoothness from the shave are killer.
the running light lenses have been painted white as well....the headlights are yellow glass and it has bluedot tear drop tailights.
truck has no turn signals or mirrors.
custom gloss red & white 1-shot by Lefty out of Sacramento on hood and back fenders.
paint matched steel visor and louvered roll pan finish off the look.
bed walls are also paint matched and the custom lifted bed itself was just refinished (actual tongue & groove flooring) to resemble an old saloon bar top.
the running boards are a bit beat up from normal life as a truck, as are the bed walls and tailgate, but nothing crazy.
it has a show look, but still a driver and usable truck...it's damn sure not a garage queen. and NO it is NOT a rat rod!!!
some small rush spots in the normal areas (wheel wells/door sills) but for me, not worth messing with on this style truck.
both doors and hood have rubber stops & spacers in place with fresh cowl seal and door jams.
no wipers or motor...has paint matched bolt deletes for smooth clean look.

interior was fully gone thru and completed about 2k miles ago.
gloss black cab, running boards, and door jams were fully resprayed.
all new green side glass, rubbers, guides, vent seals, and even fuzzies.
the original clear glass gangster window has real metal venetian blinds mounted in the OG creme color.
brand new green glass windshield w/shade & new gasket.
authentic serape mexican blanket custom upholstery. it's a truly wrapped bench seat w/custom made matching door cards.
brand new molded black loop carpet kit was installed as well.
aftermarket gauge cluster was painted wrinkle black as was the window trim and door cards.
all gauges works (oil/water/volts/fuel AND speedo) and are backlit...along with working interior dome light, headlights, rear running lights, and brake lights.
no horn and no stereo...no heater or A/C
new interior visors & chrome hardware, handles, gauge bezel, steering wheel, rocket knobs, traffic viewer, rearview mirror, glove box, hardware, etc.
original key cylinder for ignition AND glove box match..
the roulette table felt headliner is a big hit, as is the tall boy PBR can horn filler...

the suspension is the last big portion of the truck and where most of the money was spent.
first off is has a brand new set of 15" chrome steelies w/chrome baby moons...
they were just wrapped with fresh coker classic bias ply L78's, their largest tire w/a true 4" whitewall...they really pop.
they are ~29.5" tires so it also helps with freeway speeds, helping mellow out the 411 gearing a bit.
full front & back drum brake job, with upgraded camaro rear drums w/powdercoated backing plates & new wheel cylinders all around.
new brake lines as well with a flush 1k miles ago.
up front there is an oldschool mor-drop 6" stretched front axle paired with mono leaf springs to get it sitting right.
all new tie rod ends, bushings, kingpins, etc...the original steering box was also rebuilt.
the rear frame was c-notched (why the bed was lifted) and was slammed down with mono leafs in back too...
the truck is dead nuts level, w/custom rear shackles to nail it even...this was an important look for me; no rake, no sag.
the shocks were repositioned to get the most out of their travel...it rides exceptionally smooth & very straight considering its oldschool, straight axle nature.
the steering geometry was adjusted best it can be with great improvement from the initial modification.
the turning radius is less than desirable as a result to the slammed stance paired with a much taller/wider tires but it is what it is...drive her everywhere without issue.

Diesel details: Comparing Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Chevy Silverado Duramax, Ford F-150 Powerstroke

Thu, Jun 13 2019

With specifications for the 2019 Ford F-150 Power Stroke diesel already out, and the details on the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and Chevy Silverado Duramax (and its GMC Sierra twin) trickling out, we felt it was a good time to start comparing the full-size trucks' light-duty diesels. Bear in mind, we've only driven one of these new diesel trucks, so we'll be sticking to numbers for now. Some numbers haven't been announced yet, either, but stay tuned, because we'll be updating this post with additional specifications as they become available. And if you want to compare any other versions of these trucks with other vehicles, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Now let's start comparing, starting with our big chart of numbers below. As we can plainly see, these trucks are quite closely matched. Each one has six cylinders, a displacement of 3.0 liters and a turbocharger to boost it. The output of each is somewhat close, too. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is the torque king at 480 pound-feet, 20 more than the GM trucks and 40 more than the Ford. The GM trucks win on power, though, with 277 ponies, 17 more than the Ram, and 27 more than the Ford. GM does report that you get their trucks' peak 460 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm, whereas the others only report peak torque at a particular point in the rev band, but all of these trucks should have wide, flat torque curves as you would expect from modern turbodiesels. 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel View 8 Photos Engine output is only one part of the truck performance equation. We also have towing and payload capacity, as well as fuel economy. With towing, the Ram 1500 is the current leader with a maximum capacity of 12,560 pounds. That tops the Ford F-150's 11,400-pound tow rating by well over 1,000 pounds. The F-150 can carry 2,020 pounds in its bed, but we don't know yet whether that's better or worse than the Ram or the GM trucks. We also don't have numbers for the GM trucks' towing capacities. View 9 Photos As for fuel economy, the Ford F-150 manages a thoroughly impressive 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway with two-wheel drive. Choosing four-wheel drive drops those numbers to 20 and 25 respectively. The fuel economy numbers for the Ram, Chevy and GMC haven't been revealed yet, but for some comparison, we can look at the old Ram EcoDiesel. That truck's best fuel economy was 20 in the city and 27 on the highway with two-wheel drive.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy

Tue, Nov 27 2018

DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.

Very first Chevy Camaro found and restored

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Restoring an important classic car can lead people down rabbit hole upon rabbit hole of discovered history in a process that's essentially automotive genealogy. Take the recent rejuvenation of the very first Chevrolet Camaro as an example. The owners started with a strong hunch that the vehicle might be something special and spent years researching to figure it all out before the mechanical work even began. Fisher Body kicked off work on the first Camaro on May 17, 1966, and it was delivered to General Motors just a few days later for final assembly. While the model has earned a place as an American performance icon since then, the original was built more to develop the production process and boasted just a 230-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) inline six and 3-speed transmission. After spending its first few months appearing in promotions, a Chevy dealer in Oklahoma got the gold car in December of '66. It was touted on the sales floor there for years, and the first private owner didn't come until 1969. This short documentary goes into astonishingly comprehensive detail about every bit of the first Camaro's history. If you just want to hear the story of the latest owners and their work to get the vehicle restored since 2010, skip about 11 minutes into the video. Or, of course, you could just enjoy the whole thing. News Source: PilotCarRegistry via YouTube, Camaro NewsTip: Chris P.
