After I retired I bought this 1984 Chevy p/u and made a promise to myself to restore it completely. I decided to make some modifications to the truck but not compromising his integrity. At the time I started working on the truck the odometer showed 25348 miles. As you can see on the photos I substituted the front grille with core support for one from a 1989 Chevy Suburban. This change, to me, gave a lot of better front look even more when I installed a 4MM billet grille-polished on it. Also “Euro 150MM Halogen Headlight” and “Clear Park light Lens Kit” were installed. The rear lights bulbs were substituted by a “Led Tail Light Conversion Kit” The interior cabin was set with a pair of bucket seats from a 1995 Suburban, which were provided with a new upholstery, a console was set between them. A highline w/built-in speakers was installed, along with a new sound system (Pioneer radio) and amplifier. All the interior cabin was paint (interior of both door also) with epoxy primer and then a multi purpose insulation, a heat shield kit and a molded carpet -all these from LMC- were installed. A billet instrument , dash panel and doors trim along with a new padded dash -from Classic Industries- were included too. All suspension, motor and transmission mounts, cabin and bed mounts from “Energy Suspension” (Black Hyper-Flex Bushing Set). The engine was rebuilt and Edelbrock #350-2102 camshaft kit, designed for optimum torque from the low and to the mid-range, smooth idling cam for daily drivers was installed. Also a complete rebuilt th700r4 automatic transmission was installed.. After spending a lot more than I expected to spent, I did not pay for a good paint job but the truck is well protected against rust because I gave two coats of epoxy primer and then another two coats of 2K Urethane Primer. |

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season
Wed, Jul 30 2014Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck
Thu, Oct 30 2014Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series
