If you like to be seen and heard when you go by, you should take a look at this clean little Chevy pickup truck. It's already had allot of love put into it, just needs a few finishing touches to be top notch. Clean, smooth running, great sounding, 350 small block engine moves it freely down the road. Good moonstone like paint job that glistens in the sunlight. Chrome 15x10 Weld wheels with good even tread 275/60R15 tires all the way around. Roll pan rear bumper adds some distention to the truck. Has a paint matched spray in bedliner. Tailgate trim is removed from the truck and also the chrome ring around the tail lights. I bought this truck the way it is and put about 500 miles on it roughly (speedo and odo do not work) and haven't had any problems with it and averaged about 16.5 mpg on a roadtrip up and back with the bed loaded and average speed about 55 mph. Here's a list of the goods and not so goods about the truck

350 engine with Edelbrock intake and carb and sounds like a small cam also
Headers with dual exhaust going to Flowmaster like mufflers (will look under and provide the brand)
Turbo 350 transmission that shifts great
Engine runs around 170 degrees at all times
Gauges all work except speedo and odo (possibly just the cable not hooked up, haven't looked)
Cowl hood (has some surface rust on the bottom side)
Truck itself is rust free (may have had rust previously and been repaired i do not know)
Power windows that work well
Interior is complete
Whole interior has been dyed gray at one time (shows pretty well but it looks like it was originally brown)
Runs and drives good but has a little shake from 42 to 47 when unloaded
Truck doesn't appear to have been lowered
Open rear dif, not posi or limited slip
Aftermarket steering wheel and the horn still works
Tailgate opens and shuts properly with ease
All the lights work
Small dent in the front passenger fender
Some paint imperfections and some small overspray on the core support and driver's push button on the door handle
Do not think it leaks any fluids but it is an old carbed 350 so small oil leak here or there is expected
Aftermarket older radio with 4 speakers. 2 in the dash and 2 behind the seat. Older unit but done well

I tried to list everything that came to mind about the truck and openly about any issues that i have found while owning and driving the truck. I have the truck for sale locally so i reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. Best luck and please ask any questions you may have and i will answer them to the best of my knowledge and i can email more pictures.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
