I purchased this truck about 3 years ago as a project. I went completely through the truck mechanically. When I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new radiator, clutch set, and starter. I took it one step further and installed new rear brake shoes, Thrush glass pack mufflers, front and rear shocks, rear bearings and seals, u-joints and carrier bearing, water pump, distributor, heads, camshaft, and Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb. The heads are PBM / Dart brand street heads with 2.02 / 1.60 stainless valves and 67 cc chambers. The camshaft is a mild street grind with a good lope. I don't know how many miles are on the 350 that is in the truck. It is standard bore, but does not smoke or make any noises. The truck is super dependable and always starts no matter how cold it is outside. The truck has the original SM420 granny low 4 speed transmission. 3:08 gears were installed for better highway driving.
As far as the body goes, when I purchased the truck it had new front fenders. The truck is painted blitz black, with hugger orange wheels and beige bumpers. The bumpers aren't perfect and the front is tweeked a little on the passenger side. I am not a body and paint man, so the the bed sides, tail gate, back of the cab, and hood have some minor dents and waves. The bed is the worst part of the truck. I tried showing a picture of the worst bubble on the bed. It had some pin holes that I repaired when I painted the truck but they are bubbling up in some places. There are some small places of rust through on the bed floor. I herculined the inside of the bed and bed floor. As far as the cab goes, I intalled new partial floors, inner and outer rockers, cab mounts and cab supports. On the passenger side door is rubbing on the rocker panel. I tried showing a picture of it. BTW, I completely rebuilt the door hinges with new pins and bushings. The truck is super solid. The cab corners were patched but are super solid. I completely painted the frame and suspension of the truck. The truck has been lowered with cut springs in the front and lowering springs and blocks in the rear. I installed new weather stripping around the doors and new chrome sill plates. A new chrome Grant steering wheel along with a chrome bullet horn button was installed. All lights and turn signals work good.
The interior has a completely reupolstered seat with grey tweed and black vinyl. New carpet, chrome steering wheel was installed as well as a new dash pad. The truck is radio delete. The emergency brakes do not work. One of the levers on the heater controls is broke off but you can still get a grip on it. The heater works but the blower motor only works on high. the front windshield is frosty around the outside edge. All the other glass is good but does have some scratches from years of use.

There are some things that I forgot to list last night when I posted the add. The truck has manual drum brakes all the way around. They don't stop like disc brakes but they work great and the truck stops nice and straight. The tires have like new tread on them. They are BF Goodrich TA's 255/70/15. Mechanically the truck is excellent and super dependable. I would not hesitate to hop in the truck and drive it anywhere. It may cost you a small fortune in gas but it will get you there. The steering is nice and tight and the steering wheel is good and centered. The truck does not leak from anywhere that I can find. It will not leave spots of oil all over the driveway. One bad thing. The Speedo is slow. I'm not sure how slow it is but I'm guessing it is between 10 - 20 mph slower than the speed the truck is actually driving.
A couple of things I wanted to point out is the fact that this truck does not have alot of the normal rust that you find in these trucks. There is no rust or bubbling over the windshield like so many I see. Under the dash and around the cowl vents are nice and solid.
When I built the truck, I was going to faux patina the trucks, so along all the edges, I painted the truck the same orange color as the wheels to match. I was going to sand the edges to show some of the orange paint through. I liked the way it looked so I never did it but it is an option. I like the patina look so that was my original plan.
I really hate selling the truck, but I have two other trucks of that generation and not enough room so one has to go. Anyway it is a nice truck and it has been well cared for while I have owned it.

I remembered a couple more things that I thought of. The windows have brand new window regulators so the windows roll up and down nice and smooth. I'm also a big fan of chrome bullets so they are here and there. There are chrome bullets covering the wiper arm posts. I never drove the truck in the rain, so I never needed wipers. I have wiper arms, so if the purchaser would like to run wipers he is welcome to them. The lug nuts are nice chrome bullets style along with the license plate bolts.
The trailing arms on the truck are as solid as I have ever seen. There is none of the typical rust through or separation you see on the trailing arms of most of these trucks.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
