OK, here's my story, I've been building cars professional for over 50 years, I'm slowing down, getting old and hurt all over. To Boot I've run out of money so I'm going to sell off my projects (this one 1st, then maybe others after a successful sale) This is a great opportunity for someone to pickup where I have left off. My wife and I are on SS and no longer have an income to handle our hobbies. My loss will be someone else's Gain. I've put allot of information here and may have left something out. If you have questions, Please ask. I might also be interested in a trade (must have 4 wheels & drive No motor cycles or Boats)
This truck was purchased as a modified street machine done back in the 80s,90s? The pictures of the truck in Black, as a driver were before I started the restore. I drove this truck for about 6 months and was not happy with the ride or gear ratio. So I started this restomode  about July of 2013. This was completely stripped down to the frame and mounted in Rotisserie, sandblasted and painted silver with KBS Coatings. In my opinion this is better then POR 15 and even Powdercoat. Tough as nails, won't rust, even brake fluid won't harm this coating. The differential is new GM 12 Bolt Truck 8.875 Eaton Posi Unit 3.08 Ratio, setup new bearings, seals and 5 Lug Axles By Ring & Pinion Service, Rancho Cordova,Ca. KBS Coated in Black.

The Cab, front end and the box/fenders are all off the frame and all need very minor if any Body work, but will need allot of prep for paint.

That is the color that I was going to paint it. I have pictures and will be updating those as I will need to open boxes of parts for those pictures. Don't see something, ask. Do your research on this truck build and parts then do the math. You won't be able to build this truck for less then what you could own it for.    Thanks, Happy Bidding

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer

Fullsize GM SUVs have a problem that's making owners sick

Thu, Dec 31 2015

Some fullsize SUV owners are getting sick, thanks to a buffeting and vibration problem in 2015 model year examples of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon. According to owners' complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue can vary from an annoying vibration inside the cabin to an experience so severe that it leads to dizziness and headaches. General Motors is aware of the complaints, but the fix isn't so simple. According to spokesperson Tom Wilkinson to Autoblog, the company "has been tracking this issue for a while." The problem has a fairly low incidence rate, but when it does occur the issue can be "uncomfortable and annoying for owners." There's no precise cause for the issue, Wilkinson claims, and in some cases, simply balancing the tires or changing the door seals can make it go away. However, not all of the fixes are so simple. AutoGuide dug deep into the problem and discovered a GM preliminary information bulletin that advised dealers to remove the headliner and to check the roof's bonds to the bows that go across the vehicle. However, that document included a note that the solution might not entirely eliminate things. According to AutoGuide, adding Dynamat insulation to the roof sometimes helped the problem. A GM spokesperson also told AutoGuide the company fixed the problem at the end of the 2015 model year, and didn't go into any more detail. This roof issue seems linked to some of the worst droning in these SUVs. According to one complaint from a 2015 Suburban owner to NHTSA: "Roof will not remain attached to the roof bows. This causes the buffeting similar to a window being down when all are up. The results span from annoying to painful." A 2015 Yukon owner claims to have another alleged cause for the problem in a NHTSA complaint from February 2015. This person brought their SUV to the dealer seven times over the course of four weeks for vibrations. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, suspension components, and more, but nothing worked. According to an engineer to the service adviser: "In an effort to prevent roll overs, they designed the frame and body mounts too stiff. There are 40 engineers working on issues, they have no solutions that work across the board." Wilkinson told Autoblog that GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things. Since these are newer vehicles, dealers should also fix the problem under warranty.
