1993 Chevy Silverado LT1 Corvette 

For sale is my 1993 Silverado with an LT1 V8 from a 1996 Corvette. As the pictures will show, this is a totally custom truck with entirely too much to list on the ad, so I will touch on the highlights. For seriously interested parties, you will need to call me to get all the specifics. I have owned the truck for the past 10 years, and bought it as you see it today. I have only driven it 4,222 miles in that time, and the miles are original. It is a Louisiana truck, and was professionally built by the original owner. There is absolutely NO rust, and is a show truck, built like a street rod. This is NOT a kids truck with air bags and such, I cant stand that stuff. Here are the highlights:

Body and Paint
All stake bed holders, door handles, antenna masts, etc have been shaved. a steel roll pan has been welded in and smoothed. Professional paint and body work performed by GKT Motorsports and Restoration in Louisiana. Custom flame graphics done by KAL customs, air brushed and outlined with camel hair brush. Truly one of, I have never seen anything else like it. Truck was completely disassembled to paint. Entire frame, underside of cab, exhaust, rear brake drums, front brake calipers, coated with POR-15 (Paint over Rust), better than powder coat and will not rust. the underside of the truck is damn near as clean as the top. Wheel wells are painted yellow to match the exterior. All hood hinges, hood latch's, door strikers, and bed stabilizers have been chromed. All the glass was replaced with brand new GM glass when restored. The color matching bed cover is also one-of, and custom built out of aluminum specifically for this truck. The inside of the bed is flawless with no bondo or dents (the owner replaced the bed with a used, rust-free bed with no imperfections, took him 2 months to find). The fuel tank was removed when the truck was lowered (a-arms, springs, leafs, etc.) There is now an aluminum 15 gallon fuel cell mounted in the bed.

Boyd Coddington aluminum wheels and tires, 20" in the rear, and 17" in the front. Wrapped in Nitto 555R tires.

Interior is covered entirely in tweed, with chrome dash accents and power leather seating.


Note: Fuel gauge currently does not work.  The AC system is complete, but has never been charged since the truck was built (I never cared to run the AC).  There is a small scratch that has been touched up on the left rear wheel well, as well as a small scratch near the left rear taillight.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs. Read more in the press release below.
