This is a 3 owner truck, it was on non op when I bought it and I wasn t going to register it but I had it a little longer than I had originally planned, so I am the 3rd owner (but i wouldn t consider myself one, Ive had it for 3 months). The 2nd owner bought this truck in the 90s from the old couple that had purchased it new. The 2nd owner added a few upgrades to the truck, swapped door panels, seat, added factory tach, factory tilt, 5 lug all around with disc in front. He claimed that the original bezel had 8x,xxx miles on it when he switched it out with the tach bezel. When it came time for 2nd owners son to drive he pulled the big block out of the truck and built him a 350, with that being said he wrapped up the big block and stored it away. His son wanted nothing to do with the truck. When I heard there was somebody locally that had been threatening to sell his big block truck because his son wanted something else, I made contact with him and made arrangments to see it. So I bought this truck with the 350 in it and the original big block came along with it.
We tore the 400 apart and started cleaning it and checking it out to see how it looked. The rings, bearings, crank and heads were all in good shape, the engine was very sanitary, which was fantastic. We bought new parts and started putting it back together, listed below.
The truck is in very original condition but has NO SERIOUS RUST, the rockers and corners are super solid on this truck. The body has minor dings here and there, there are no MAJOR dents anywhere, the front passenger fender is primered, rest of the paint is faded and scratched up but has that "cool original look", wood bed is shot. The seat and carpet were installed brand new by 2nd owner but dont show new due to sun fading, but in person you can tell they have barely been used. As far as weather stripping goes its in tact but old, window felt is there but old. Truck runs good, lots of power, tranny shifts great, this truck drives and rides very solid and tight (as far as steering, suspension and braking), it has some of the normal rattles due to old window felts. Headliner is in very good condition, chrome trim isnt chrome anymore due to fading (not pictured).

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
