tons of photos below...but PLEASE take time to read the following...

the truck is a strong running, reliable, complete, turn-key driver...ready to cruise, burn-out, show, & bar hop. 
it has a pumped up big block 70's chevy 454 motor that runs great and starts without problem. 
new high crank battery, 2 gauge wiring, & Jegs race starter handle the hottest starts and an aluminum radiator w/custom electric fans New installed
it has headers, a big cam,  454 high flow intake...great sound & lopey idle w/small glass pack turn down exhaust.
it has a 3-speed turbo 400 automatic transmission from a 70's truck as well...it was just flushed & sealed up 1k miles ago.
has super tall lokar floor shifter w/boot & polished knob...it's paired with a chrome spoon gas pedal.
has a low mile camaro 12-bolt rearend w/411 gearing and POSI-traction also flushed & sealed 1k miles ago
...the combo is scary. it's a real balls to the wall hot rod...easy to light up.
engine bay is matte black and nothing special...


it's shaved & nosed...all trim, handles, mirrors, fuel filler, etc...
no door poppers...reach in thru the vent windows and open...
it's actual flat red paint, in great shape with gloss white accents on cab, grill, and flipped front bumper. (gives a lower/frown look)
body is super straight and smooth. frame is true...the matte finish, natural body lines, and smoothness from the shave are killer.
the running light lenses have been painted white as well....the headlights are yellow glass and it has bluedot tear drop tailights.
truck has no turn signals or mirrors.
custom gloss red & white 1-shot by Lefty out of Sacramento on hood and back fenders.
paint matched steel visor and louvered roll pan finish off the look.
bed walls are also paint matched and the custom lifted bed itself was just refinished (actual tongue & groove flooring) to resemble an old saloon bar top.
the running boards are a bit beat up from normal life as a truck, as are the bed walls and tailgate, but nothing crazy.
it has a show look, but still a driver and usable truck...it's damn sure not a garage queen. and NO it is NOT a rat rod!!!
some small rush spots in the normal areas (wheel wells/door sills) but for me, not worth messing with on this style truck.
both doors and hood have rubber stops & spacers in place with fresh cowl seal and door jams.
no wipers or motor...has paint matched bolt deletes for smooth clean look.

interior was fully gone thru and completed about 2k miles ago.
gloss black cab, running boards, and door jams were fully resprayed.
all new green side glass, rubbers, guides, vent seals, and even fuzzies.
the original clear glass gangster window has real metal venetian blinds mounted in the OG creme color.
brand new green glass windshield w/shade & new gasket.
authentic serape mexican blanket custom upholstery. it's a truly wrapped bench seat w/custom made matching door cards.
brand new molded black loop carpet kit was installed as well.
aftermarket gauge cluster was painted wrinkle black as was the window trim and door cards.
all gauges works (oil/water/volts/fuel AND speedo) and are backlit...along with working interior dome light, headlights, rear running lights, and brake lights.
no horn and no stereo...no heater or A/C
new interior visors & chrome hardware, handles, gauge bezel, steering wheel, rocket knobs, traffic viewer, rearview mirror, glove box, hardware, etc.
original key cylinder for ignition AND glove box match..
the roulette table felt headliner is a big hit, as is the tall boy PBR can horn filler...

the suspension is the last big portion of the truck and where most of the money was spent.
first off is has a brand new set of 15" chrome steelies w/chrome baby moons...
they were just wrapped with fresh coker classic bias ply L78's, their largest tire w/a true 4" whitewall...they really pop.
they are ~29.5" tires so it also helps with freeway speeds, helping mellow out the 411 gearing a bit.
full front & back drum brake job, with upgraded camaro rear drums w/powdercoated backing plates & new wheel cylinders all around.
new brake lines as well with a flush 1k miles ago.
up front there is an oldschool mor-drop 6" stretched front axle paired with mono leaf springs to get it sitting right.
all new tie rod ends, bushings, kingpins, etc...the original steering box was also rebuilt.
the rear frame was c-notched (why the bed was lifted) and was slammed down with mono leafs in back too...
the truck is dead nuts level, w/custom rear shackles to nail it even...this was an important look for me; no rake, no sag.
the shocks were repositioned to get the most out of their travel...it rides exceptionally smooth & very straight considering its oldschool, straight axle nature.
the steering geometry was adjusted best it can be with great improvement from the initial modification.
the turning radius is less than desirable as a result to the slammed stance paired with a much taller/wider tires but it is what it is...drive her everywhere without issue.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
