I would jump in this beast today and drive it anywhere, it's never left me stranded!! Actually, I think it has once or twice, but it's a hell of a truck none the less. Quite a bit of motor work was done a few years back, maybe 8 years ago or better, but only about 20k miles since then. Did a 350 sbc with a mild cam with series 7 ignition system. The guys over at State Auto Body; disassembled, cut, welded, sanded, painted, reassembled, added all new rubber seals, a back glass, cowl induction hood, washed and polished, and probably shaved a few years off their life in the process, for $5500 of my hard earned money! I drove it with a smile on my face...... for about a week, before I parked it. Before I know it, I let the truck sit for over a year, and it wasn't the dream I remembered. Well two brand new fuel tanks, two sending units, a transfer valve, and a shiny new fuel selector button in the cab fixed that!! After many enjoyable miles, I started noticing a chatter in the rear end. I decided to tow it up to Advanced Driveline and have it looked at. Sure enough, the rear end was starting to go. I could just give it a quick little fix to get me back on the road, or I could maybe beef it up a little bit. Like any other self respecting man, I chose the latter, and decided not to waste the tow bill! Nine days later, with a smile on my face, and no lunch money in my pocket, I was the proud owner of 4.56 gears; front and rear, lockers, custom front and rear driveshafts, and a shiny new mediocre looking set of Warn manual hubs. All was great, but now I found myself in the inevitable spot of any redneck; "but honey, I HAVE to have a new transmission, don't you understand, I JUST got gears!!!!" She wasn't happy, but the guys over at Transmax sure were!! I swapped out the old turbo 350 with a 700R4 with the bowser total cure package, and all the other goodies. I was happy to be on the road, and the engine was happy with the overdrive addition! Cruises nice now, about 2k at 60mph. Stopped by Ground Level Customs and had a full custom stereo put in it, with a nice clean sounding set of 10's behind the seat. Then I Drove her over to Extreme Auto Upholstery and had a new seat, dashboard, door panels, carpet, visors, steering wheel, and a headliner put in. Recently added a gear reduction starter, new shocks, a power steering pump, and a brand new non shiny set of Fuel Hostage 20's on 35" tires. The truck could use a few little things here and there to REALLY set it apart. Nothing makes the truck non drivable by any stretch of the imagination, but this is everything that I think could use attention. It still has the original V belt set up, and it's just something I've never gotten around to doing. It doesn't necessarily not work, I just think it's very sub par for the rest of the truck. Also, as an added bonus it likes to holler at you now and then on start up, no matter what you do for the belt adjustment. I also think an electric fan would be a great addition, along with a good clean up of the engine bay in general. There is a crack in the front grille, a crease in the front bumper. There are a handful of paint flaws around the truck. Majority of them not noticeable though unless pointed out. The transfer case started leaking here about a month ago, and to be honest I haven't even climbed under it to see exactly what's going on. The truck doesn't have any seat belts. I couldn't see putting them back in the nice new interior, and never got around to order new ones. It has hooker headers, but they're starting to show their age. I think a good ceramic coat job would really pop. The exhaust is a very nice sounding flowmaster setup. There are no exhaust leaks or anything to speak of, but that would be something I would change, could I keep it. They're just showing age. I could tell stories all day about this beauty, but then I might change my mind about selling it. You wouldn't be happy, and neither would the old lady. I had to post it for sale so I could start getting dinner again!!! You really have to see the truck in person. I've posted this thing on and off over the years, and just about the time I find a buyer I can't bring myself to sell it. I recently bought a new jeep that has sadly taken the car rotation spot from Old Red though. It's painful to see her sit. If you enjoy this truck half as much as I have, it will be worth every penny! Hell, the expensive shit is already done. I think the joy for me was the journey, come buy the destination!! Feel free to ask any questions, and if possible, come by and look at the truck before the auction ends. 407-443-8889

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
