This 1970 step side underwent a frame off restoration 4 years ago. The builder was a gentleman in Georgia that built the truck for himself and spared no expense in doing so. He truly went all out on this build. A year and a half after building it he passed away and the truck sat for 2 years. It only has a little over 5000 miles on it since it was built. He put almost everything on this truck new. After purchasing it from his nephew I had the fluids changed and had the carb cleaned to be sure everything was good.
The truck is powered by a crate motor from GM Performance Parts. It is a 383 stroker with aluminum heads for 425 horsepower!! That is hooked to a 700r4, which was also bought from GM Performance Parts. It is set up perfectly. It shifts firm from first to second, then the other shifts are nice and smooth. It is running a positive traction rear end. I am not sure of the gear, but I would guess it to be a 3.55 or 3.42. It runs and drives awesome! Took it on a 9 hour trip and it performed great.
The interior has been all redone as well. The custom seat is a 40/20/40 split bench. The center part has a compartment under the seat and the rear folds down to give you 2 cupholders and an arm rest. The carpet is in excellent shape as is the door panels and the headliner. All of the gauges have been replaced with chevy bowtie gauges. All of them work perfect except the fuel gauge. It may have a ground issue. It works sometimes and doesn’t sometimes. It has a Lokar floor shifter as well as an IDIDIT chrome and tilt column. The Vintage Air AC unit works through the factory controls and blows cold. The kick panels are Custom Autosound with Pioneer 6.5” speakers built in. The only issue with the interior is the glove box door. The paint is peeling on the door only.
The exterior is in great shape. The body is straight and the paint is slick. All of the glass is in excellent shape. It has new new rear fenders. The marker lights are shaved. The gas tank has been moved to under the bed. The bed has all new wood and strips and shows perfectly. The wheels are a brand new set of Boss 338 with 17’s in the front and 18’s in the rear. They are rolling on brand new Nitto tires. It has LED tail lights. The panel just under the tailgate is about a 2” panel. That panel has 2 small places where the paint peeled after the truck was together, with the color what it is you have to look for it to find it. This is the only problem area on the paint. There is absolutely no rust in this truck!!
The underside is as clean as the top side. Again there is no rust on the underisde either. The rockers, cab corners, and floor braces are all perfect.
Under the hood is super clean. There is a lot of chrome accesories. There is a double electric fan setup that works off of a thermostat. There is a new 2 speed wiper motor. There is also new 18 circuit wire harness.
The truck is being sold on an open and clear Georgia title. It is being sold as is. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text 843-457-7564 or email at BionicABs@aol.com

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
