1984 Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
|
After I retired I bought this 1984 Chevy p/u and made a promise to myself to restore it completely. I decided to make some modifications to the truck but not compromising his integrity. At the time I started working on the truck the odometer showed 25348 miles. As you can see on the photos I substituted the front grille with core support for one from a 1989 Chevy Suburban. This change, to me, gave a lot of better front look even more when I installed a 4MM billet grille-polished on it. Also “Euro 150MM Halogen Headlight” and “Clear Park light Lens Kit” were installed. The rear lights bulbs were substituted by a “Led Tail Light Conversion Kit” The interior cabin was set with a pair of bucket seats from a 1995 Suburban, which were provided with a new upholstery, a console was set between them. A highline w/built-in speakers was installed, along with a new sound system (Pioneer radio) and amplifier. All the interior cabin was paint (interior of both door also) with epoxy primer and then a multi purpose insulation, a heat shield kit and a molded carpet -all these from LMC- were installed. A billet instrument , dash panel and doors trim along with a new padded dash -from Classic Industries- were included too. All suspension, motor and transmission mounts, cabin and bed mounts from “Energy Suspension” (Black Hyper-Flex Bushing Set). The engine was rebuilt and Edelbrock #350-2102 camshaft kit, designed for optimum torque from the low and to the mid-range, smooth idling cam for daily drivers was installed. Also a complete rebuilt th700r4 automatic transmission was installed.. After spending a lot more than I expected to spent, I did not pay for a good paint job but the truck is well protected against rust because I gave two coats of epoxy primer and then another two coats of 2K Urethane Primer. |

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
