Chevrolet Sport Truck 383 Tpi 1 Owner 454ss 350ss on 2040-cars
Pewaukee, Wisconsin, United States
Here it
is!!! 1993 Chevy C1500. I am the only 1
owner of this truck. I bought it new, right off the showroom floor, in
1993. This truck has never been stolen
or in an accident. I still have the
original window sticker and the owner’s manual. It came factory stock as a
sport truck ( 350SS ) with all the options = 5.7L engine, 5 speed manual
transmission, Engine oil cooler, Sport Handling Package, Split front seat, 3.42
ratio differential, Tachometer, Chrome rims and 275/60r/15 tires all around,
Power steering, Power windows, Power door locks, A/C, Tilt steering, Cruise,
etc. I drove it for many years and then decided to do a COMPLETE rebuild of the
truck along with one major upgrade = install a corvette based 383 engine in it. So it was
completely taken apart and everything was painted / coated when it was
professionally put back together. Practically everything on it was either
replaced with new or rebuilt. I can’t say it’s a new truck again, but it’s
about as close to it as you can get and even better in many ways. This truck is
a frame off – rotisserie build. Unlike the factory, everything was painted /
coated so it’ll stay looking good for a long time. And it has a corvette 383
tuned port injection ( TPI ) L98 motor in it!! This truck is
tame and reliable enough to be a nice daily driver. It runs on pump gas and was
built with power and reliability in mind. It doesn’t have all the “hot rod” inconveniences
like some wild built race truck would. But it has plenty of power to have some
real fun with. The truck was professionally dyno tuned (I have the dyno sheet)
and it makes more power than the 454ss truck. (70 more hp and 55ftlb to be exact!) Now add to that, the weight savings of an
aluminum head small block and this truck performs much better than the 454 ss
truck ever did. Not to mention it gets better gas mileage and handles way better
without being nose heavy like a big block truck. It corners and handles
surprisingly well for a pickup truck. The motor = Balanced
and blueprinted 383 roller cam short block with ported corvette aluminum heads (stainless
valves, roller 1.6 rockers, bronze guides, head studs) and 89 TPI intake system.
Dyno tuned and runs great. Makes 70 more reliable HP than the stock 454ss truck
did. Trans =
rebuilt nv3500 5-speed Brakes =
stock disc/drum, stainless brake lines (of course ALL new hoses, frictions,
hydraulics etc.) Rear end =
Rebuilt 8.5” - 3.42 ratio with a tight Eaton clutch type posi Suspension =
Stock front springs – 5 leaf rear springs lowered 2” with urethane bushings in
the front and rear ( including urethane body mounts), all new ball joints and
tie rods etc. Exhaust =
Custom built full length headers with flex joints into 3” H pipe and dual turbo
mufflers. It even has provisions for easy bolt on dual 3” converters. Interior = split
bench tan/neutral color The interior is over 20 years old but still looks nice.
The dash has a small crack in it (zoomed in on it in video) and the usual is
worn from being a daily driver for almost 20 years. There are small burn marks
on the driver seat and door panel. (See video)
There are a few small stains here and there but nothing major. Overall I think it still looks good but I wanted
to point these things out. Paint/body =
The paint shines like a mirror without any major dents. Probably two/three small door dings if you
look for them. There is practically NO rust on this truck anywhere. Even
the underbody looks way better than new and will last a long time. Remember it
was a frame off build, not a cheap “cover up the rust with undercoating” job.
Everything was blasted clean, inspected and coated. The box has spray in bed
liner. Installing
the corvette engine was very expensive because it had to look and function like
it belonged in the truck. The motor wasn’t just plopped in. It works like the
factory put it in from the start. Should it need any repairs, the technician
working on it will be happy to know the wiring for the truck is stock and the
wiring for the engine is stock for a 1989 corvette. This way the repair parts
are readily available and you wouldn’t need to “hunt down” any specialized
parts for it and future maintenance / repairs are straight forward. Since the
truck was completed, I’ve put about 5000 miles on it without an issue. It’s a
load of fun to drive and I get complements all the time. There isn’t a single
leak under it. It’s dry and clean underneath just like better than new. It’s not a perfect show truck, but it sure is
close and it sure can draw attention at the car shows or just driving around.
It takes a lot of time, money and effort to build something like this. It
stands out from the rest in looks AND function. It’s an awesome truck. It’s hard to sell a vehicle without the buyer actually seeing / driving it. I want you to know what you are getting so check out these videos on you tube. It’s some homemade videos, but hopefully it’ll answer some questions and you’ll get a better feel for what you’re getting. You’ll see more of how it looks, sounds and drives here--- http://youtu.be/GULZEi4kUZg and http://youtu.be/JCA1a8XfV00 Terms of
sale------ $500 nonrefundable deposit to be made by PayPal within 72
hours of auction end. (Hopefully this will eliminate non serious buyers) The
remainder is to be paid cash when the title gets signed over and you pick up
the truck. Serious buyers only please!!! If you live far away, YES, you can fly into
Milwaukee airport and drive it home. (I’ll meet you at the airport if you want)
It’s hard to let this truck go. But I know
it’ll give someone else some great times for sure! Any questions, just ask. I’ll try to get back
to you by the end of that day. Thanks

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
