For Sale By:Private Seller
Mileage: 3,000
Make: GMC
Model: Sierra 1500
Thank you for looking at my 1967 GMC. This truck started life as a 3/4 ton truck . After a dozen plus years sitting on a farm in nebraska, I acquired this truck and began the hot rod project on it. The 3/4 ton suspension was shed in favor of half ton suspension. The donor vehicle for the suspension was a 1974 chevy truck (1500). The bumpers have been tucked and the rear bumper was notched for the exhaust tips. Power is produced by a 355 with a four bolt main, speedpro 10:1 pistons, COMP 268H camshaft, and a set of 487x heads. The engine is topped with a weiand action plus intake. Fuel is supplied by a 600 Edelbrock carb. The transmission is a five speed Getrag Manual from a 1996 chevy truck, The clutch is hydraulic. The truck has power steering. Stopping is achieved through a manual, hydraulic brake system. The front brakes use the rotors and the rear brakes use the drum system from the 1974 chevy truck. The radiator is an aftermarket aluminum unit from speedway. The rear differential is all original from the 1974 chevy and the gear ratio is unknown. The exhaust flows from the headers to the glass pack mufflers and exits out of the back of the truck through a nice set of chrome tips. The fuel tank is from a boat and holds about 22 gallons of fuel. The tank is mounted below the tool box and fills through the toolbox. The vent system could be improved as it is sometimes difficult to fill the tank. The truck has a new windshield and gasket. The windows are operated by the power units, POWER WINDOWS, and controlled by up down switches on the dash. The heater is mounted under the seat and is controlled by a primitive switch behind the the shifter. The heater unit is from the rear area of a retired ambulance. The seat is from a 1989 chevy truck. There is a burn hole in the seat from welding slag. The rockers and cab corners are new. The bodywork is a little rough. The truck is in the early stages of bodywork and shows alot through the satin black paint. The windshield wiper motor also is a little weak. The wipers move across the windshield slowly. This is a functional truck. I use it to haul all kinds of stuff from engines and car parts to an occasional load of brush to the dump. It has a digital speedo that i could not get to work. it has the correct speed sensor. Maybe you will have better luck with it. My number is 712-326-8213. Please try to call after 5 PM central time.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
