This is a 1988 Chevrolet short wheel base step side truck that has been heavily customized. I will try to list everything that has been done to it. A friend of mine has a body shop locally that all the custom work was done at. He is we'll know around the area for doing custom vehicles. It has an excellent paint job using 3800 base clear high end paint. The inside of the bed looks as good as the outside. It has borla exhaust on and corvette tips and headers. It has an msd ignition along with a 6a box. It has a cold air intake and a stage 2 jegs performance chip. Has all new msd wires. Has all new sensors( all that could be put on the engine). It has a new crate LS 350 motor that has a alittle over 7,000 miles. It has always has Mobil one synthetic oil. It has all new brakes and brake lines. Along with booster and master cylinder. It has a new battery. It has been lowered 4 in the front and 6 in the back. It has an all belltech drop suspension with two inch drop spindles. It has new bell tech coil springs and all new euro thane bushings. It has new ball joints. It has a steel cowl hood. It has a new steel roll pan. Brand new 5 spoke 18 x 8 wheels and new v rated tired with a new spare tire. It has LED tail lights and new grill with a billet bow tie emblem. It has new one piece HID headlights and running lights. It has new side mirrors. New step pads on the bed. It has all new infinity component speakers with a 10 inch infinity subwoofer as well as an infinity amp and clarion equalizer. Also has another amp that runs the infinity speakers that replaced the factory ones. It has a new CD player with Bluetooth and mp3 with remote. It has all new carpet and headliner. It has a new serpentine belt because we disabled the smog pump. And that is kinda where the customization got stopped. I was having this done for my son as it's the kind of work I did before I broke my neck many years ago. Before the inside of truck was finished we found out that out son had a brain tumor. It was driven by my wife for about 6 months because we didn't want to get rid of it. I have come to the realization that we we no longer need the truck. Now on to the things that didn't get customized. The seats which are in good shape.it is a 60-40 bench seat that came out of a new truck. We were gonna have it covered in leather along with all of the dash and door panels. The ac work and blows cold air works but it needs a new o ring on the evaporator line. It leaks down in about two days. There are probably some other things that were upgraded that I just can't seem to think of at the moment. I have way more money invested in the truck than I am asking for it. It is also for sale locally. If there are any questions please feel free to call at 205-625-6568 or send a message.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck

Thu, Aug 3 2017

In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.
