Hey guys, what you are looking at is a truck I have had for years and a few years back I began customizing it and dropped in a 350 small block engine that was sent to GM and completely re-done before we built it. Im not trying to conceal anything but the truck is as is of course. I will go over everything that's been done and might need completion. Obviously it needs a new paint job. The entire truck has been sanded in the past but could use a good sanding before taking it for paint. The back is grey simply due to the fact I sprayed it down with a primer to prevent any serious rust issues from occurring. There is no significant rust on the body of the truck ie. holes, soft spots, damage. The truck has been kept in the garage at the house for the past couple years now so no significant exposure to the elements for some time. The lights work and most of the gauges are connected. The speedometer needs to be reconnected. The interior needs a little cosmetic work/finishing but nothing too serious unless you hate everything about it of course. In the photos it is very dusty due to leaving the windows down while in the garage. The door handles have been shaved off and it has door poppers set up but the main box is out that sends the signal to pop. There is a sunroof installed that is very big and very nice in the summer/night. It is manual and it can come out completely. It does not leak. The rear end has been tubbed for larger tires/wheels. The top of the bed is one solid piece so if you want to get fancy with a paint job you can. A tailgate is still on the back which does open up and locks. The front end has a custom valance, chrome bumper, and a custom billet grille. Im not sure you can even find those anymore since everyone who sees it wants to buy it off of me. The glass does have a nice size crack in the lower right passenger side from a battery falling out of a tool (awesome). The rear window is lexan with a spot for a license plate. The top break light on the cab has also been shaved off. I would try to complete this project as the most expensive and time consuming parts are primarily completed but I no longer have a lift, tools, and shop to work on it in. Just my garage and with a small child and a wife pushing me to get it out of the garage! Lets get to the expensive work.

Engine:
Edlebrock Heads and Aluminum Valve Covers
Edlebrock Carb intake
850 Holley 4 Barrell
K-N chrome breather
Electric Cooling fan
3/4 Insy Cam Shaft
Dual exhaust
400 Turbo Auto transmission
Custom Wheels and Tires
Custom Shifter mounted in floor.
Custom Hood for more airflow

Before the engine was installed the body had around 115,000 miles on it. The interior is all changed now so I don't have the exact number.

This engine was built and installed professionally by one of the head technicians at Reliable Chevrolet in Springfield MO. I won't publicly post his name but he has 15+ years experience and is a pro. I am not a pro and wanted this engine to be solid.
A couple things on the engine is that I had planned to install a bigger electric fan simply because when you idle for too long it does get fairly hot in the summer. This thing sounds like a monster when you start it up, gas it, or idle. People simply don't expect the sound this thing emits. Most people turn to look expecting to see an older hot rod I am told. If you want to see this thing in person you can contact me via eBay and we can schedule a time. Im taking a big loss selling this thing so cheaply simply due to the cost of the engine which has very low miles on it. Under 100 on the engine but it does start and runs great. Even though I have stopped working on it I do fire it up at least every week and take it for a neighborhood drive. If you are not local/driving distance to pick this up in person I will require you to pay in full via paypal and set up your own shipper. (I will do whatever I can to assist but will not book or be responsible for shipping). Again this is a project truck, as-is, and I would suggest using a trailer to transport it simply due to missing mirrors and it screams getting pulled over initially. If you have any questions feel free to message and ask and I will do my best to answer.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf go nearly the same all-electric miles a year

Sun, Nov 1 2015

Range anxiety? What range anxiety? The concept is a foreign one to those driving Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-ins, and as a result, that vehicle's all-electric driving miles are actually pretty close to that of the all-electric Nissan Leaf. Such were the findings of a study conducted by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), which tracked about 8,700 cars during a three-year period, including a bunch of Volts, Leafs and Smart ED electric vehicles. In short, even though the Volt's all-electric range of about 38 miles is less than half that of the Leaf's, the Volts' collective all-electric driving was just six percent lower than the Leaf's (the next-generation Volt will be even more electro-generous, with a 50-mile range). The logic makes sense considering typical US driving habits, in which a vast majority of people commute less than 35 miles a day. Additionally, Volt drivers obviously have no fear of running out of electricity, so they were far more likely to max out on that range than some Leaf drivers. Overall, the average Leaf is driven about 15 percent less than the national average of about 11,300 miles a year for all vehicles, while Volts are driven about eight percent more. Of all those Volt miles, about 81 percent were in all-electric mode. Additionally, Volt drivers recharged about 1.5 times a day, while Leaf drivers recharged about once a day, and about 85 percent of that charging was at home. As for non-home charging, about 20 percent of the vehicles accounted for 75 percent of the station use, so folks are definitely creatures of habit. Check out the INL's 22-page report here for more interesting details.
