History : This truck is the personal weekend driver of one of the owners of Advantage Autoworks In North Richland Hills Texas (Fort Worth). Advantage Autoworks sits on a 3 acre facility in North Texas and has made quite a name for themselves over the last 23 years specializing in mostly Chevrolet, ford ,and some exotics here and there. They employ a staff of 18 people and usually have a 6 to 8 month wait just to get a car in for restoration. Go to advantageautoworks.com to see what type of facility this truck origanated from. The truck it self had about 135 thousand origanal miles on it , seemed to be a very rust free survivor type truck that hadent been around the block too many times. At some point in time had a small block chevy installed (327 ) from a 67 camaro 210 hp based on the numbers. That was a good choice for the time , but had to go for this truck.
Restoration: This truck was completely dissasembled down to just the bare cab and frame, then stripped to bare metal, followed up by sand blasting the cab to top to bottom to kill any corrosion from days past. The body and all pieces were then epoxy primed after any metal work was done to give the truck a good level of corrosion protection. All the body panels were then body worked, primed, blocked, re primed to a very above average high level plat form for the urethane base coat clear coat paint to follow. I would not say this truck is flawless by any means or the straightest truck on the planet, but has a well above average paint and body finish out. My objective was to make the appearance nice enough to show, but I never intended this to be a 200 thousand dollar trailer queeen build, but something I was not afraid to drive.
Drive Train: The truck is powered by a small block chevy engine that was completly gone through and updated with vortec style cylinder heads and eddlebrock vortec style aluminum intake manifold, all high quality internals, high compression pistons (runs great on 03 octane pump gas), gear drive timeing chain, aluminum time chain cover, aluminum high flow water pump, billit pullys, aftermarket performace balancer, aluminum retro style finned valve covers, holley 780 cfm carb, roller rockers, high volumn performance fuel pump, mallery quart style fuel filter, etc.... the list goes on. I never had the engine dyno'd , but feel it makes in the 400 plus range. I wanted to build the truck with enough power to make it fun, but fully driveable and reliable. See the vidio to hear it run , and did a litlle burn out for a block or so to show what fun it can be.Transmission: 700r4 overdrive with performance stall converter, backup up by a 12 bolt posi traction rear end with 373 gears. With the overdrive trans, this gives you great off the line performance , but still allows you to drive 75 down the freeway while monitoring the oem in dash factory tachomitor. Exhaust system: Hooker super competition ceramic headlers backed up by 2.5 inch ceramic coated complete exhaust with flow master mufflers to give this truck an extrodiany nasty sound backed up with a cam to make beatiful music. It has no annoying tone when driving, not too load under normal driving , but sings when you put the pedal to the metal.
suspension/brakes: The truck achived such a ride quality by the following. 1st , the frame was completly dissasembled , sand blasted , then the center section was boxed and reinforced to stiffen up in all the right places, we welding in the new trans crossmmember to accomodate the updated over drive trans, then sent it to the powdercoater to be coated in semi gloss for durability and looks. All the other suspension parts were powedercoated also at the same time. We replace the the rear lower trailing arms with updated reinforced performance onces, install a set of dropp spindles, lowering springs on all 4 corners, kyb gas performance shocks, along with front and rear sway bars to give the truck a ride like no other. The truck has a stance the looks great , but not slammed to the ground . The front brake system is 5 lug disk that would have been on most of the late 70s into the 80s half tone trucks, with a chrome master cylender, booster, updated proportioning valve,et.... The back brakes are truck drums that work great, all rebuilt, new park brake cables etc...
Interior/comforts: The interior was gutted down to nothing, cab painted to high gloss black ,then completly dynamated fire wall ,floors, etc.., then a factroy style firewall pad was installed, followed up with complete oem style new underdash harness , and all new wireing from front to back. The modest sterio system was then installed with an orion 4 channnell amp that powers the front and rear speakes that fill the cab with an awesome sound thats not over the top .The kenwood am/fm cd player is equiped with an auxilliary input for i phones, ipods, etc.... Factory Gauge truck(not base warning lamps) were all tested, repaired, or replaced to ensure reliablility at the time of restoration. Everything inside the truck was cleaned, plated, painted , or replaced along the way. Weather stips, door felts, etc.. all new, glove box liner new, visors,carpet, etc...all new . vintage air/heat was installed to give you all seasons of comfort while driveing, chrome plated ac compressor (not polished ) , works great.,updated aluminum dash control knobs on ac,not cheap plastic like most others.Leather custom seat with custom fit seat brackets , center console folds up for 3 person seating , while it folds down for arm rest, drink storage , and has 2 storage compartments, one below the seat bottom in the center, and one in the flip up arm rest. All 3 sections slide forward ,back, and recline for the optimum flexability. Retractable seat belts also keep things neat and tidey along with the saftey . I have a 10 year old daughter that means the world to me , so I made sure we could stap her in for the fun times we spend in the truck.
Bed/Exterior Trim:The bed was completely dissasembled, sand blasted , and then restored inside and out with a show finish on the inside as well as the outside. Even the interior bed wheel wells have been buffed. The bed wood was hand scraped By Mikes hardwood flooring prior to an automotive grade clear being applied in multiple coats, sanded, then re cleared to achieve the finish . Bed strips were replaced with polished stainless, and all stainless hardware. A Few subltle touches were made on the bed by deleteing the stake pocket holes, deleteing the tail gate latches, and being replace by a high strength stap for holding the gate. Could not bring myselt to seeing those chains dangling and sctratching the show finisn.
ALL CHROME/ALUMINUM TRIM NEW: All trim items such as bumpers, grill, all exterior body side moldings were replaced ,or replated ,along with all the bumper brackets being sand blasted and powerdercoated duiring the restoration. New windshield , back glass , but side glasses are origanal with some signs of wear, but still respectable.
Wheels/tires: Rims are new gm 15x8 painted urethane gloss black , with Bfg radial ta tires , dressed out with wheel vintiques ribbed rings, and bow tie center caps. Some people like the steely wheel look, if you dont , totally change the appearance with a set of magnesium center salt flats, or any kind of aluminum custom wheels, of possibly just chande the center caps to the spyder bullets. I have thought about all these options down the road or just enjoy as is.
Summarry: Is this truck perfect, no its not.It is extremely nice for the money i am asking if your in the market for something you can drive, show, or just own and dont want to be in the 60 to 100 plus category that you can easily do. I do it for a living , you could easily spend 50 plus on a truck you already own in restoration cost, or let me take the bath , but I have enjoyed it for the past 3 years,put about 5 thousand miles on it without a glitch, and nothing in life is free. I am not going to fire sale the truck, just have too many cars right now, and have decided to keep my super rare ,super valuable ones due to storage restraints. Also will be selling a 51 chevy rat/farm ride high end build, classic triumph motorcye, 54 packard caribean convertable, etc....in the near future as i have time to list them.Call with any questions. 817-773-1852 ask for chris.

GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall
Mon, Feb 9 2015In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.
