Up for auction is my rust-free 1987 Chevrolet Silverado short bed SWB 1500 V10 4X4 1/2 ton pickup in Mint condition with 52,304 actual miles.  I am the third owner.  The second owner is 70+ years old and bought it from his older friend the original owner before he entered the rest home.  The truck looks, runs and drives as new with no known problems as you would expect from a 52K actual mile truck.  The truck has always been well cared for and it shows!  This truck has pretty much every option which was available in 1987.  Silverado trim, four-wheel drive, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering, dual fuel tanks, alloy wheels, engine block heater, sliding rear window etc.

Body:  The truck maintains all of its original body panels which are rust free.  I had a high quality repaint done on the truck right after I purchased it due to rock chips, bare metal on rocker after removing running boards and a poor quality dent repair on the driver's door by the handle to prevent any rust from happening.  The truck had no prior damage or paint work other than the door.  It had completely original paint other than the driver's door prior to the repaint.  The pictures with the running boards were taken the day I bought it with the original paint, so you can see how nice it was to begin with.  All trim, moldings and the bed were removed for the repaint so there is not overspray.  The jambs and bed were not repainted since they were in such nice original condition and I wanted to retain that originality where I could.  There is no variance in paint color either.  The body side moldings and wheel well moldings were replaced with new.  Covering the bed is a Truxedo lo pro tonneau cover which matches the tan on the truck.  It is mounted with clamps so no holes were drilled for installation.  A rubber bed mat is also included to protect the bed floor.

Interior:  The interior is in immaculate original condition including the original floor mats.  The interior is completely original other than the headliner and radio.  I replaced the headliner since it was sagging and the original radio was replaced by the previous owner with a period correct Alpine unit.  Every feature on the truck work including cold A/C, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, stereo radio, all lights and all gauges.

Drivetrain:  The truck maintains it's original drivetrain.  The original 5.7 liter 350 engine runs perfect and smooth with no leaks, oil burning, smoke or noises.  The automatic overdrive 700R4 transmission functions perfectly also.  It has a 3.08 axle ratio so it is a great highway cruiser.  The four-wheel drive functions properly also.    I just had the muffler and catalytic convertor replaced and the truck should pass emissions requirements anywhere since it puts off very little exhaust fumes.  

Wheels and Tires:  The optional wheels are original to the truck.  I had them professionally refinished by a service that dips and removes the clear coat and has the clear re-powder coated.  I had them refinished since the previous owner had used the wrong type of cleaner on them and damaged the clear coat.  They are as close to perfect as you will ever find.  The Good Year Wrangler tires on it have approximately 4,000 miles on them and were installed the day I bought the truck since the ones on it had dry-rott.  

I have driven the truck approximately 4,000 miles in the past year and it performs flawlessly.  I even made a 700 mile one-day trip in it with absolutely no problems or concerns.  It runs and drives as new.  It rides very smooth, is quiet and goes down the road straight.  Everything on the truck works as it should.  We have made several highway trips in it and is very comfortable.  Just get on the highway and set the cruise!  I receive numerous compliments every time I take it out.  This truck would be great to add to any collection or even use as an everyday driver if you choose, since it is very reliable.

Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  I welcome and encourage you to inspect the truck by appointment prior to bidding.  You will be impressed!  Please call with questions or to set-up an appointment to view and test drive.  Mark (913)909-1186 or e-mail through Ebay and I will answer your questions promptly.

Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close and the vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of auction close unless other arrangements are agreed upon between buyer and seller prior to auction close.  A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close by either Paypal or wire transfer.  Payment methods for the truck are:  Wire Transfer (preferred), Cash in Person or Cashier's Check (which must clear prior to vehicle possession).  The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or arrangements.  I will work with your shipper of choice regarding pickup of the vehicle.  The title is clear and in my name with no liens.  I have only seen one truck like this in person which is nicer and it is located at Classic Parts and has less than 100 miles!

2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV output jumps to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft

Sun, Oct 23 2022

A couple of days ago, GMC unleashed its 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 pickup, the luxury truck division's version of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. As has been the case between Chevy and GMC for decades, GMC designers worked to put ample visual difference between the two pickups that share the similar underpinnings. Unlike what's been the historical case, GMC announced output figures for the Sierra EV well above those for the Silverado. Preliminary estimates for the battery-electric Sierra with the dual-motor powertrain are 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. Chevy revealed the 2024 Silverado EV in January with 664 hp and 785 lb-ft in RST trim. We're not sure what happened after the GMC debut, but the Bowtie has updated the Silverado's output to match the GMC with 754 hp and 785 lb-ft. Chevy truck communications spokesperson Sean Szymkowski submitted a statement to various outlets explaining, "As we prepare for production of the Silverado EV, our engineering team has further refined the estimated performance specs for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition. GM now estimates horsepower to be up to 754 and torque up to an estimated 785 lb-ft when Wide Open Watts mode is engaged." It's possible Chevrolet did so in order to forestall backlash about the disparity, or it's possible the automaker already planned to do so after the GMC dropped. On the ICE side, buyers have got used to powertrain parity, the Silverado and Sierra offering the same engines with the same outputs even with pricing about $3,600 apart on the respective top trims. No matter how the decision was made, the benefits redound to Silverado EV buyers. By the way, the "Wide Open Watts" reference refers to the driving mode required to extract these peak power figures. In the GMC Sierra EV, this is called Max Power Mode. We're still looking for clarity on the output figures in everyday driving modes, we believe those will be the same 510 hp and 615 lb-ft that's the maximum in the lower trim Silverado EV Work Truck.    With a year to wait before the Silverado RST EV reaches reservation holders, and with the Chevrolet Work Truck providing real-world feedback before the RST arrives, don't be surprised at more tweaks made to both the Silverado and Sierra EVs before they hit the market.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe

Thu, Oct 16 2014

BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
