I purchased this truck about 3 years ago as a project. I went completely through the truck mechanically. When I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new radiator, clutch set, and starter. I took it one step further and installed new rear brake shoes, Thrush glass pack mufflers, front and rear shocks, rear bearings and seals, u-joints and carrier bearing, water pump, distributor, heads, camshaft, and Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb. The heads are PBM / Dart brand street heads with 2.02 / 1.60 stainless valves and 67 cc chambers. The camshaft is a mild street grind with a good lope. I don't know how many miles are on the 350 that is in the truck. It is standard bore, but does not smoke or make any noises. The truck is super dependable and always starts no matter how cold it is outside. The truck has the original SM420 granny low 4 speed transmission. 3:08 gears were installed for better highway driving.
As far as the body goes, when I purchased the truck it had new front fenders. The truck is painted blitz black, with hugger orange wheels and beige bumpers. The bumpers aren't perfect and the front is tweeked a little on the passenger side. I am not a body and paint man, so the the bed sides, tail gate, back of the cab, and hood have some minor dents and waves. The bed is the worst part of the truck. I tried showing a picture of the worst bubble on the bed. It had some pin holes that I repaired when I painted the truck but they are bubbling up in some places. There are some small places of rust through on the bed floor. I herculined the inside of the bed and bed floor. As far as the cab goes, I intalled new partial floors, inner and outer rockers, cab mounts and cab supports. On the passenger side door is rubbing on the rocker panel. I tried showing a picture of it. BTW, I completely rebuilt the door hinges with new pins and bushings. The truck is super solid. The cab corners were patched but are super solid. I completely painted the frame and suspension of the truck. The truck has been lowered with cut springs in the front and lowering springs and blocks in the rear. I installed new weather stripping around the doors and new chrome sill plates. A new chrome Grant steering wheel along with a chrome bullet horn button was installed. All lights and turn signals work good.
The interior has a completely reupolstered seat with grey tweed and black vinyl. New carpet, chrome steering wheel was installed as well as a new dash pad. The truck is radio delete. The emergency brakes do not work. One of the levers on the heater controls is broke off but you can still get a grip on it. The heater works but the blower motor only works on high. the front windshield is frosty around the outside edge. All the other glass is good but does have some scratches from years of use.

There are some things that I forgot to list last night when I posted the add. The truck has manual drum brakes all the way around. They don't stop like disc brakes but they work great and the truck stops nice and straight. The tires have like new tread on them. They are BF Goodrich TA's 255/70/15. Mechanically the truck is excellent and super dependable. I would not hesitate to hop in the truck and drive it anywhere. It may cost you a small fortune in gas but it will get you there. The steering is nice and tight and the steering wheel is good and centered. The truck does not leak from anywhere that I can find. It will not leave spots of oil all over the driveway. One bad thing. The Speedo is slow. I'm not sure how slow it is but I'm guessing it is between 10 - 20 mph slower than the speed the truck is actually driving.
A couple of things I wanted to point out is the fact that this truck does not have alot of the normal rust that you find in these trucks. There is no rust or bubbling over the windshield like so many I see. Under the dash and around the cowl vents are nice and solid.
When I built the truck, I was going to faux patina the trucks, so along all the edges, I painted the truck the same orange color as the wheels to match. I was going to sand the edges to show some of the orange paint through. I liked the way it looked so I never did it but it is an option. I like the patina look so that was my original plan.
I really hate selling the truck, but I have two other trucks of that generation and not enough room so one has to go. Anyway it is a nice truck and it has been well cared for while I have owned it.
On May-15-13 at 15:52:12 PDT, seller added the following information:
I remembered a couple more things that I thought of. The windows have brand new window regulators so the windows roll up and down nice and smooth. I'm also a big fan of chrome bullets so they are here and there. There are chrome bullets covering the wiper arm posts. I never drove the truck in the rain, so I never needed wipers. I have wiper arms, so if the purchaser would like to run wipers he is welcome to them. The lug nuts are nice chrome bullets style along with the license plate bolts.
The trailing arms on the truck are as solid as I have ever seen. There is none of the typical rust through or separation you see on the trailing arms of most of these trucks.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
Next Chevy Silverado could get this built-in tailgate step
Thu, Feb 2 2017General Motors just received patent approval for a tailgate step in a pickup bed. And given the timing, don't be surprised if you see this on the upcoming 2019 Silverado pickup (not the mention its GMC Sierra twin), expected to arrive in late 2018. According to the patent, granted in December of last year, the whole mechanism is housed in the tailgate assemble. The magic happens when a portion of the top half of the tailgate swings down and a step folds out. There's also a handle that locks into position to help climb up into the bed. As trucks get bigger and taller over the years, it gets harder and harder to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution with the 2009 F-150 was a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. Back then, Chevy made an ill-advised ad highlighting the feature for Ford. And while Howie Long mocked the F-150's "man step" Ford saw almost a third of its trucks with the option in the first year. The GM design seems to improve on Ford's idea as it appears to be wider and has a back to the lower step. That is, you don't have to worry about stepping through the ladder-rung design as on the F-150. Ford's tailgate step later spread to the F Super Duty, and other cargo access assists have proliferated through the truck world. On the most recent redesign, the Chevrolet Silverado took a trick from the Avalanche and added cutouts to the corners of the rear bumper that act as a foothold. Ford also offers a deployable side step, Chevrolet has running boards that scoot rearward with a kick of the boot, and Ram offers fixed wheel-to-wheel side rails. Nissan is in on the game too, with an optional folding step that tucks under the rear bumper. We don't expect Chevrolet to comment on when or if we'll see this feature in the showrooms. But given that engineers are already hard at work on the next Silverado and the timing of this patent lines right up with the new truck's development cycle, we'll be disappointed if this patent stays in the file cabinet.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"
Mon, Oct 20 2014Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive."

It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.
