This is a 1997 Chevrolet C-1500 2wd, real 4 door crew cab, built by Centurion Conversion company.

I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 5 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or ext cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the msrp of the original truck was around $21,000. These truck were not cheap. These truck are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1995-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.

The truck is dark polo green with grey interior. 5.7L 350 V8, 4 speed auto, trailer hitch. VERY LOW MILES, only 95,670. (I am still driving the truck, so the mileage will go up a little) When the previous owner got it here, he installed a new belt, fuel filter, K&N air filter, Optima yellow top battery, had the oil changed, tinted the windows all around , and installed a new CD radio with USB connector for your Ipod. The previous owner bought the truck from the original owner, that had it for 14 years, 6 months. . It was located in NV, and had been garage kept all it's life. He had it shipped to him in South Florida. I bought the truck a bought to years ago. I flow out to Florida made the transaction and drove it back to me in NY. (drove like a dream).

It was a desert and southern truck, NO rust at ALL. The interior is almost perfect, I would say 8.5 out of 10. The truck had a carpeted dash cover(that the original owner installed, so the dash is perfect). The previous owner added custom made floor mats front and rear when he got it. It has a 40/60 split bench seat in the front, and a bench seat in the back, hold 6 very comfortably. The passenger front door has 3 small door dings in it (I would assume they could be taken out by a paint-less dent guy) the hood also has two dings. The paint has some scratches in it nothing major, but from 5 feet away you can't even see them. The paint is still very good, and shines nice, (except the roof and tops of the doors, it's now faded, it just doesn't shine like the rest of the truck). I was going to have a detail shop do a good buff out the paint, but just never had it done.

After i purchased the truck i lowered it 4 in the front and 6 in the rear . the front was lowered with spindles, coils and custom shocks. In the rear i did a flip kit and new custom shocks. Also installed helper bags with two separate air valves for height if i add a load in the rear. I did keep all the original parts. Never did any performance work to motor or trans at all.

i also add a tonneau bed cover as well

The truck runs and drives great. It gets about 20 mpg on the highway. The truck never saw snow or salt. garaged in the winter.

The stock tires have a lot of tread left on them(rims are plastic dipped in black), one is missing a trim ring. The Aftermarket rims are 20" and have great tires with only about 1000 mile on them .

I searched long and hard to find this truck. But just went through a divorce and need to sell it. I will pass this one on to someone else. It is available to be looked at New City, N.Y. Any questions please ask. I have the clean N.Y. title on hand in my name ready to sign over.

Sorry for the bad pics.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs Â– was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 nets 18 mpg city, 24 highway

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

There is no doubting that fuel economy has become an important factor in the highly competitive fullsize truck market, with the Ford F-150 EcoBoost V6 and Pentastar V6-powered Ram 1500 setting quite a precedent in recent years. Now it's General Motors' turn. The General has just announced that the new base V6 used in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models will return an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway in two-wheel drive trim, regardless of cab configuration.
While these figures don't go so far as to earn GM any "best-in-class" fuel economy claims (thanks to the 25-mpg Ram 1500 HFE), this new 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 does edge the F-150 and Toyota Tundra while boasting best-in-class numbers for torque, payload and towing capacity among six-cylinder rivals. This all-new engine produces 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, and it gives the 2014 Silverado and Sierra the highest towing rating among standard V6 models with a 7,200-pound towing capacity - besting the Ram by 700 pounds, the base F-150 by 1,100 pounds and coming within 200 pounds of the V8-powered Nissan Titan.
