1986 Gmc 1500 - Rust-free, Short Box, Supercharged 400 Small Block on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1986 GMC 1500 short box – Super charged! I’ve owned this truck for about 4 years. The engine had already been swapped to a 400 short block. I have done no work to the bottom end, but have installed all of the goodies on top: high pressure fuel pump and regulator, custom high pressure carburetor by Quick Fuel Technology – Super Street Series, XDI electronic ignition, and Vortech super charger – centrifugal style. It’s currently running six pounds of boost. The system is upgradeable to 17 pounds of boost. I have the rev limiter set at 5000 rpm – because no work has been done on the bottom end.
Additionally, the front suspension has been replaced and limited slip installed in the rear. The paint has recently been cut and buffed to bring out the shine of the original paint. Alpine stereo with equalizer and subwoofer is installed. Everything else is original. This is an Oregon truck so there is no rust!
She runs beautifully! Start-up could be helped with an automatic choke and a shift kit installed. Dyno-tune would be nice, too. I had a tire slashed and haven’t replaced it yet. You can see in the pictures two mag rims on the truck and two off as well as two original rims on the truck and two off without tires mounted. The truck has a cover.
The only mechanical problem I know of is a slow electrical drain on the battery. (When it’s sitting I just take one lead off the battery to keep it charged.) Body is original and in great shape – rust free. The grill was replaced with the Chevy bowtie and it is cracked near the left headlight.
Was planning to install a high performance, rebuilt 327 which has Crane cams roller camshaft, Eagle rods and crankshaft, King engine bearings, compression cams roller rockers and timing chain set and cam button, Lunati roller lifters and push rods, Prommax heads, Chevy performance head gaskets, Felpro Permadry oil pan and valve cover gaskets, Felpro timing cover set and rear main seal, ARP head and main studs, Melling high volume oil pump and hardened oil pump drive, sealed power piston rings, DSS Racing forged pistons, and Cat performance products billet steel crankshaft girdle. This is included as is an old B&M roots style super charger. For sale locally, auction may end early.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
