This is a Frame-Off, Bolt-by-Bolt, complete and full restoration of a prior one-owner vehicle. This truck looks better than it did the day it was born."

This was an unmolested one-owner truck when I bought it last year, and then drove it from Bullhead City, AZ to Dallas, TX without any trouble.  As good as it was then, the truck is better now that it has been completely disassembled and restored.  Every part of this truck is either new or rebuilt to like-new condition.  Every nut, bolt, bushing, washer, etc. has been replaced on this truck.  This is now a "new" old truck. 

Chassis was completely disassembled and then media-blasted and primed and painted with PPG epoxy to GM Chassis Black specs. All new chassis and suspension parts include new shocks, new front coil springs, new rear leaf springs and bushings, new sway bar bushings, new upper/lower ball joints, new upper/lower control arm bushings, new engine mounts, new transmission mount, re-tubed and balanced drive shaft, new U-Joints and Carrier Bearing.  Differential is the original Dana 60, 12-bolt rear end. 

Engine is a 350 GM Crate from 1993 that was completely rebuilt with new pistons/rocker arms/rods/lifters, carb/intake/electric choke, RV cam, and HEI Ignition/Distributor.  OEM exhaust manifolds have been ceramic coated, with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust system and Magna-Flo mufflers.  The alternator, P/S pump, water pump, fuel pump, and fan clutch are all new/rebuilt.  Transmission is the original TH350 and was rebuilt for this restoration.  The Power Brake booster and master cylinder are also new.

Factory A/C includes new evaporator, new OEM GM/Delco compressor, all new A/C hoses, and new blower motor.

The interior is all new interior including new color-matched OEM door panels with new handles, seat cover, carpet, instrument panel bezel, steering wheel, dash pad, sun visors, and rear view mirror.  New door & ignition are matched to same key.  Original AM Push-button radio.  Windshield, rear glass, and side vent glass are new.

All body parts were disassembled and individually media-blasted and primed.  Body parts that were replaced include new front fenders and new door rocker panels, and only a few minor body repairs were needed for this truck.  Bed is as straight as it gets.  All body parts were individually painted in original OEM colors, and then reassembled. All chrome body trim is new, with new chrome bumpers and turn lenses, new tail light lenses and trim, and new body side lights.

Also have the original Build Sheet, Protect-O-Plate w/New Vehicle Warranty, Service Parts ID Sheet, Original Owner's Manual, and many work receipts from the original owner, and all of the work that was done to restore this truck.

This is a fresh restoration that was just finished in July 2013.  It has been, and still is, kept in a garage.  It drives great and has a magnificent low rumble with the new exhaust system.  An eye-catching truck and great daily driver. 

If you are ready for a truck you can enjoy and not have to work on, then you have found it.  Good luck bidding, and thank you.

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery

Tue, Oct 28 2014

Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season

Wed, Jul 30 2014

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.
