Chevrolet Other on 2040-cars
Lowell, Oregon, United States
This is my personal driver that I have owned since 1998, built it, and started driving it in late 1999. The miles shown are what it shows today...kinda funny to me. :) I set it to zero when I completed it. I started with a very clean, rust free truck.This has been an awesome truck and I would love to keep it, but I am building it's replacement. It is for sale locally, and it may be pulled if I get the right offer. Yes, it is a factory GMC. I listed it as a Chevy because there are more lookers!I have used this in my local courier service (no employees have driven it), and I have used it to tow my car trailer to haul cars for friends, family, and me. It is set up to haul: This truck is powered by a fresh Chevrolet 396 Big Block. It has Edelbrock aluminum heads, and roller rockers. Allegedly close to 500 hp (by the motor builder), but not verified. Also fresh is the built to tow 700R4 overdrive trans, When I say fresh, I mean within the last 500 miles. In March, I noticed a lack of power off the line. Took it to my transmission guy who diagnosed a dead cylinder--burnt valve. I had this other 396 for another project, and swapped it in! Well, it turns out the planetary gear was bad in the trans, so we went through that, too. The rear end is a narrow (1957?) Ford 9-inch. It is a posi, with I believe 411 gears. I installed those about 5k ago. The rear suspension is leaf spring, with Firestone Bags that I only air up when I tow. It is equipped with a receiver hitch hidden behind an aluminum license plate holder. Trailer brake controller under the dash. Equipped with two gas tanks holding approximately 30 gallons. Hagan gas door on the drivers rear fender. The front suspension is a TCI Mustang II set-up. Power rack, front power disc brakes, of course. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at how well it rides and drives. Two year old exhaust, Flowmaster 50's. Exterior: One year only grill. Shaved door handles--poppers replaced in May. The first Muth Signal Mirrors custom built at the time. Frenched 41-48 Chevy passenger car L.E.D. tail lights. Paint: A few flaws here and there, no rust. The graphics are specific to my business. If you are in another state and want me to leave this airbrushed art, I will. I will remove it for any buyer at my expense, just ask. I will not leave the artwork intact for an Oregon buyer, however, when I sold my 29 Delivery painted similarly, I took it to the artist and just made a few changes. The custom plates do not come with the truck . . . Interior: A little wear and tear, because I use it. It is not a showcar, however, it did take a best of show in 2000. Bucket seats, console, overhead cd player, high dollar interior when it was done--not merely cheap paneling like most panels.In 2012 I replaced the aluminum 15 inch wheels and Briz aluminum bumpers. It now sports chrome bumpers and 17 front, 18 rear Foose Wheels. Tires will be brand new when you pick it up to drive it home--it will also have two full tanks of gas...

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
