-9200 GVW..

This truck was a 2 part build. August 2012- The truck was originally built with just under 15K miles on it.  The lift, tires, exterior paint, bed liner, gooseneck, rear receiver, and trailer wiring were done then. 

Then at just over 18K miles (February 2013) we did the 6.5, 4L80E, gauges, a/c, lizard skin, interior paint, engine compartment paint, floor mat, insulation, new seat cover, new foam, new sun visors, and color matched all of the interior.

-I bought the truck back from the original customer is August 2013.

I do have the original engine still.  While it is not included in the sale price of the truck, it is for sale.  It has had head studs and .010 thicker head gaskets installed as we were planning a turbo build for the same customer this truck was built for, but we have gone another route.

The Wait to start light still functions properly.  It was wired into the civilian style relay, so it is timed correctly.

Paint/Coatings Interior and Exterior:

The exterior was sanded and primed using a nice Urethane primer.  Then sanded again before painting. 

The exterior and interior were both painted with GCI's Current Issue Lusterless Olive Drab

The bumpers and grille were then blacked out.

Last for the exterior was the stenciling which includes the bumper star, tire pressure and fuel type.  

Prior to painting the interior, it was sanded and prepped for the Lizard Skin, bed liner, and paint.. 
 
2 coats paint inside and 3 outside.

The  engine bay was Lizard Skinned inside of the fenders, fender wells, core support, firewall and underside of hood.  It does help with noise reduction and heat control.  It was then painted with GCI's Flat Black

The interior was bed lined along the floor front to back, up to the kick panels and halfway up the back of the cab.  Same bed liner as used in the bed.

The bed has a nice spray in bed liner by SEM as well as a nice thick rubber mat.



The frame and undercarriage were in excellent shape and to preserve them they were coated with a petroleum based undercoating by Rusfre front to back top to bottom.  The front and rear inner fenders/wheel wells were just recoated.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
