I would jump in this beast today and drive it anywhere, it's never left me stranded!! Actually, I think it has once or twice, but it's a hell of a truck none the less. Quite a bit of motor work was done a few years back, maybe 8 years ago or better, but only about 20k miles since then. Did a 350 sbc with a mild cam with series 7 ignition system. The guys over at State Auto Body; disassembled, cut, welded, sanded, painted, reassembled, added all new rubber seals, a back glass, cowl induction hood, washed and polished, and probably shaved a few years off their life in the process, for $5500 of my hard earned money! I drove it with a smile on my face...... for about a week, before I parked it. Before I know it, I let the truck sit for over a year, and it wasn't the dream I remembered. Well two brand new fuel tanks, two sending units, a transfer valve, and a shiny new fuel selector button in the cab fixed that!! After many enjoyable miles, I started noticing a chatter in the rear end. I decided to tow it up to Advanced Driveline and have it looked at. Sure enough, the rear end was starting to go. I could just give it a quick little fix to get me back on the road, or I could maybe beef it up a little bit. Like any other self respecting man, I chose the latter, and decided not to waste the tow bill! Nine days later, with a smile on my face, and no lunch money in my pocket, I was the proud owner of 4.56 gears; front and rear, lockers, custom front and rear driveshafts, and a shiny new mediocre looking set of Warn manual hubs. All was great, but now I found myself in the inevitable spot of any redneck; "but honey, I HAVE to have a new transmission, don't you understand, I JUST got gears!!!!" She wasn't happy, but the guys over at Transmax sure were!! I swapped out the old turbo 350 with a 700R4 with the bowser total cure package, and all the other goodies. I was happy to be on the road, and the engine was happy with the overdrive addition! Cruises nice now, about 2k at 60mph. Stopped by Ground Level Customs and had a full custom stereo put in it, with a nice clean sounding set of 10's behind the seat. Then I Drove her over to Extreme Auto Upholstery and had a new seat, dashboard, door panels, carpet, visors, steering wheel, and a headliner put in. Recently added a gear reduction starter, new shocks, a power steering pump, and a brand new non shiny set of Fuel Hostage 20's on 35" tires. The truck could use a few little things here and there to REALLY set it apart. Nothing makes the truck non drivable by any stretch of the imagination, but this is everything that I think could use attention. It still has the original V belt set up, and it's just something I've never gotten around to doing. It doesn't necessarily not work, I just think it's very sub par for the rest of the truck. Also, as an added bonus it likes to holler at you now and then on start up, no matter what you do for the belt adjustment. I also think an electric fan would be a great addition, along with a good clean up of the engine bay in general. There is a crack in the front grille, a crease in the front bumper. There are a handful of paint flaws around the truck. Majority of them not noticeable though unless pointed out. The transfer case started leaking here about a month ago, and to be honest I haven't even climbed under it to see exactly what's going on. The truck doesn't have any seat belts. I couldn't see putting them back in the nice new interior, and never got around to order new ones. It has hooker headers, but they're starting to show their age. I think a good ceramic coat job would really pop. The exhaust is a very nice sounding flowmaster setup. There are no exhaust leaks or anything to speak of, but that would be something I would change, could I keep it. They're just showing age. I could tell stories all day about this beauty, but then I might change my mind about selling it. You wouldn't be happy, and neither would the old lady. I had to post it for sale so I could start getting dinner again!!! You really have to see the truck in person. I've posted this thing on and off over the years, and just about the time I find a buyer I can't bring myself to sell it. I recently bought a new jeep that has sadly taken the car rotation spot from Old Red though. It's painful to see her sit. If you enjoy this truck half as much as I have, it will be worth every penny! Hell, the expensive shit is already done. I think the joy for me was the journey, come buy the destination!! Feel free to ask any questions, and if possible, come by and look at the truck before the auction ends. 407-443-8889

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe
Wed, Aug 23 2023Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.
GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.
