This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side. I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005. Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen. Runs and drives flawlessly. It is hard to believe how well this truck drives. I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it. You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is. I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.
The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006. Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles. I do have receipts and documentation of this. Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me. I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck. Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer. This is correct. I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle. I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build. Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold. Updated Throttle Body. Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors. New valve springs. Chrome Headers. New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed. Truck has a great sound. Not loud just very deep. No exhaust drone sound at any RPM. Very nice to cruise in. I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums. I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny. If you want to get nasty with it you can. Great runner with good fuel economy. When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated. Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear. Tires have decent tread. Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous. Body of the truck is great. There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail. Looks like an elbow mark. I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it. The bed of the truck is in excellent shape. There are a few rock chips on the front. Overall, the paint is in great shape. Not an all out show truck, but very close. Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. Interior is stock and in great shape. No rips or tears in seat. Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition. The fuse door cover is broken. I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do. I am a Harley Davidson dealer. I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades. Please contact me to discuss values. I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage. This GMC truck is a knock out. Gets looks everywhere I go. Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space. Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else. |

Watch GM's new pickup crash its way to five-star NHTSA ratings
Thu, 09 Jan 2014General Motors has just scored a big win with its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, acing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration New Car Assessment Program. The two full-size trucks had already netted a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in their crew-cab variants, but the new testing certifies them as five-star trucks in both regular and double-cab bodystyles, so GM's trucks offer top ratings across the board.
"Our incredibly capable trucks have been engineered to be some of the safest," Gay Kent, GM's general director of Vehicle Safety and Crashworthiness said. "We've designed the vehicle structure, strategically placed high-strength steel and developed the occupant restraint system to achieve high levels of safety performance."
The scores mark the Silverado and Sierra as the first pickups to net five-star scores since NHTSA beefed up their testing regime in 2011, a nice feather in GM's cap as it continues to slug out the pickup truck wars with crosstown rivals Ford and Ram.
GM can't keep up with most popular pickup orders
Mon, 30 Sep 2013With the market for pickup trucks at its best since before the recession, General Motors can't afford any hiccups with the launch of its new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, but it sounds like the popularity of V8-powered trucks is causing some supply-chain issues. Bloomberg reports that GM is experiencing a shortage of 5.3-liter V8 engines because an unnamed parts supplier has been unable to keep up with demand. This is leading GM to restrict the number of V8 Silverado and Sierra trucks that Chevrolet and GMC dealers are allowed to order.
Although it's unclear how long it will take to resolve the parts shortage, GM doesn't have much time to sort it out, as a new Ford F-150 looms on the horizon. At launch, GM's fullsize trucks were offered only with a base 4.3-liter V6 and the 5.3-liter V8, but a burlier 6.2-liter V8 will be available soon. Interestingly, at least at the moment, GM truck buyers don't seem as willing to downsize to V6 power as buyers of the F-150, which gets some 42-percent of its sales from trucks equipped with its EcoBoost V6 engine (not including the normally aspirated base V6).
Working out the kinks in the Silverado and Sierra's supply chain couldn't be more important to the health of the company. Full-size pickups are a huge profit driver - in 2012, the trucks were said to make up about two-third of GM's total profits.
GM issues stop-delivery for 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon
Fri, 03 Oct 2014General Motors is issuing a stop-delivery order for its latest midsize pickups, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, because the driver's side airbag might not be wired correctly. The total number of vehicles affected is still being determined.
According to the statement from GM, the problem, "affects the vehicles' two-stage airbag system by reversing the deployment sequence and disrupting the deployment timing of the driver airbag stages." That means in an accident the bag may not work correctly.
Most of the affected trucks are still on the assembly line, in transit or unsold at dealers, says GM. Until a way to repair the problem is found, customer deliveries are stopped. However, "a small number" of them are in the possession of buyers. GM is contacting these people by phone and by FedEx letter to have the vehicles returned to dealers. In the meantime, they'll be given a loaner to drive.
