Casper, Wyoming, United States
I will try to be as descriptive as possible. Any part of the truck you my have questions about email me and I will take up close photos and add them for you. I will start from front and work my way back. Front axle is a Dana 44 3/4 ton with 4/11 gears. Has billet aluminum differential cover and axle trusses. Truck has 6 inch full spring suspension lift and 3 inch body lift. Fiberglass cowl induction hood. Motor is a 454 CID with roller cam, roller lifters, and roller rockers. Has Edelbrock aluminum oval port heads, polished aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold, and polished aluminum valve covers. Fueled with Demon 795 carb. Cooling the motor is a CSI electric water pump and thermostat controlled electric fan. Truck has all new energy suspension polyerothane spring, motor, tranny, and body bushings. Equipped with tilt steering column, factory tach, and Alpine CD player. Behind the big block is five speed manual transmission with hydrolic clutch and 208 transfer case. Tires are 35x 15.50x 16.5 thorn bird tires on 12 inch wide 16.5 weld super single aluminum wheels. The rear axle is a corporate 14 bolt with billet aluminum differential cover 4/11 gears and axle truss. Also equipped with kicker shocks to eliminate axle wrap. The exhaust is ceramic coated headers into 3 inch dual pipes back to dual stainless steel supertrapps with 36 plates on each muffler. The tail lights consist of ZR1 roll pan.

I relocated the fuel tank from behind the seats to in the frame under the bed and haven't got the filler stem completely installed or the wire ran to the fuel gauge.

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette
Fri, Jan 16 2015Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago
Thu, Feb 12 2015It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.
