This 1996 Z71 has a ton of suspension work done to it. The most obvious is the solid axle swap.
The front axle is from a 2002 F250 and is a Dana 50 model with manual locking hubs. The front axle is from the same truck and is a Ford/Sterling 10.5". Both axles have 4.88 gears and positraction. The front suspension are 5" lift leaf springs for an F250 and a Fabtech dual steering stabilizer. Steering is corrected by a 4" drop pitman arm from a Dodge Ram. The rear suspension has 5" blocks and long custom link bars to prevent axlewrap. There is a Rancho shock at each wheel. Both driveshafts are from the donor F250.
The tires are 36x15.50 R16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs on 16x12 Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels. The tires have more than 75% tread left.The wheels have a few scuffs on them from a few off road excursions.
The engine is stock, except for a WIX filter, synthetic oil, and dual exhaust (Single 18" glasspack and 5" tips- can easily be converted to true duals as there are 2 catylitic converters). The exhaust has a small leak.
There is a Hypertech programmer that comes with the truck. It corrects the speedometer for the larger tires and gear ratio as well as add power.
The interior is in excellent shape, especially for a 96. There are no tears in the seats, and there is only one 4" long crack in the dash. The windshield is cracked, but it is a long thin crack down the passenger side. The CD player is bad, so I took it out and I have not replaced it (all of the speakers work just fine). The CD player mounting bracket comes with it.
The body is in excellent shape, no rust anywhere. There are a few small paint scuffs. There is a 2" dual cowl induction hood.
Overall, this truck is in excellent shape, and is definitely a head turner. This truck is reliable enough that it is my daily driver and I have taken it on several long trips and I have gotten 12-14mpg (65-70mph). I am only selling because there is a new addition to the family and a single cab truck won't do. This truck is perfect for a dual purpose rig (wheel on the weekends and drive it to work on monday).
Please do not hesitate to ask questions.
I need to sell this as there is another little one on the way and a single cab truck will no longer work for me.
The reserve is lower than the Buy-it-Now price.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
GM thinks Colorado and Canyon midsize trucks will lure crossover buyers
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The invitation to come out and sample product at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, MI is rarely dull, and after spending this morning driving preproduction versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon all we can say is... under strict embargo. Sorry, America, we were as excited as many of you are to learn more about GM's new midsize truck range and take note of how they go down the road, but it's going to be September before we're allowed to share that with all of you. Here's to sweet suspense.
While we might not be able to talk about refinement or handling yet, we did find some of the product positioning and marketing statements from GMC and Chevy officials on hand at the program to be pretty interesting.
Of course, we all know that the literal competitive set for Canyon and Colorado is comprised of two comparatively ancient Japanese midsize trucks: the Toyota Tacoma (which currently owns this segment) and the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier's bones are as old as the 2005 model year, with 2009 marking the last time the truck was updated. The Taco was also launched in 2005, though it did see a freshening for 2012. The point remains that, in every facet from powertrain to dash plastics, the GM midsize truck twins are going to look positively space age by comparison when they hit the market for MY 2015.
