This is my personal driver that I have owned since 1998, built it, and started driving it in late 1999. The miles shown are what it shows today...kinda funny to me. :) I set it to zero when I completed it. I started with a very clean, rust free truck.This has been an awesome truck and I would love to keep it, but I am building it's replacement. It is for sale locally, and it may be pulled if I get the right offer. Yes, it is a factory GMC. I listed it as a Chevy because there are more lookers!I have used this in my local courier service (no employees have driven it), and I have used it to tow my car trailer to haul cars for friends, family, and me. It is set up to haul: This truck is powered by a fresh Chevrolet 396 Big Block. It has Edelbrock aluminum heads, and roller rockers. Allegedly close to 500 hp (by the motor builder), but not verified. Also fresh is the built to tow 700R4 overdrive trans, When I say fresh, I mean within the last 500 miles. In March, I noticed a lack of power off the line. Took it to my transmission guy who diagnosed a dead cylinder--burnt valve. I had this other 396 for another project, and swapped it in! Well, it turns out the planetary gear was bad in the trans, so we went through that, too. The rear end is a narrow (1957?) Ford 9-inch. It is a posi, with I believe 411 gears. I installed those about 5k ago. The rear suspension is leaf spring, with Firestone Bags that I only air up when I tow. It is equipped with a receiver hitch hidden behind an aluminum license plate holder. Trailer brake controller under the dash. Equipped with two gas tanks holding approximately 30 gallons. Hagan gas door on the drivers rear fender. The front suspension is a TCI Mustang II set-up. Power rack, front power disc brakes, of course. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at how well it rides and drives. Two year old exhaust, Flowmaster 50's. Exterior: One year only grill. Shaved door handles--poppers replaced in May. The first Muth Signal Mirrors custom built at the time. Frenched 41-48 Chevy passenger car L.E.D. tail lights. Paint: A few flaws here and there, no rust. The graphics are specific to my business. If you are in another state and want me to leave this airbrushed art, I will. I will remove it for any buyer at my expense, just ask. I will not leave the artwork intact for an Oregon buyer, however, when I sold my 29 Delivery painted similarly, I took it to the artist and just made a few changes. The custom plates do not come with the truck . . . Interior: A little wear and tear, because I use it. It is not a showcar, however, it did take a best of show in 2000. Bucket seats, console, overhead cd player, high dollar interior when it was done--not merely cheap paneling like most panels.In 2012 I replaced the aluminum 15 inch wheels and Briz aluminum bumpers. It now sports chrome bumpers and 17 front, 18 rear Foose Wheels. Tires will be brand new when you pick it up to drive it home--it will also have two full tanks of gas...

Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
