TO START OUT THIS WAS A BUILD THAT WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT COULDN'T FIND A TRUCK EXACTLY LIKE WE WANTED UNTIL WE FOUND THIS ONE (ORIGINAL PAINT AND NOT FULL OF RUST) WE STARTED WITH A TWO OWNER RUST FREE TRUCK THAT WAS OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 40 YEARS, IT CAME WITH THE PROTECT-O- PLATE, OWNERS MANUAL AND TONS OF PAPER WORK. THE TRUCK WAS TORN DOWN AND THE FRAME OFF RESTORATION WAS STARTED, FROM THE GET GO WE WANTED TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE YENKO PARTS TRUCK. A NEW STOCK 454 WAS DISGUISED TO LOOK LIKE A 427 AND THE TRANS WAS CHANGED TO A NEW TURBO 400, THE BUILD TURNED INTO A NO EXPENSE SPARED ONE OF A KIND BUILD WHERE THE ONLY ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WENT BACK WAS THE FRAME AND BODY. THE CHASSIS WAS TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL AND EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED, ALL SUSPENSION IS CPP, SPINDLES, SPRINGS, SHOCKS ETC. NEW COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUSHINGS, LINES, ETC, ALL BOLTS ON THE FRAME ARE NEW GRADE 8. THE BOTTOM OF THE CAB AND BED WERE BLASTED AND PAINTED A SEMI GLOSS BLACK. EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAB HAS BEEN PAINTED THE FACTORY BLUE, EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE IS NEW, SEAT, DOOR PANELS, CARPET, HEADLINER, RUBBER, FELT, VENTS, DASH PAD, VISORS ETC ALONG WITH TILT WHEEL. . MOVING TO THE EXTERIOR AGAIN EVERY PIECE IS NEW, TRIM, MOLDING, LIGHTS, BUMPERS, WINDSHIELD, EMBLEMS, AND THE ORIGINAL GRILL SHELL HAS BEEN CHROMED, THE ONLY BODY PANELS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED WERE THE ROCKERS. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON UNDER THE HOOD, ALL FACTORY AIR WAS REBUILT, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING AND ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE IS NEW AND WORKS, ALL BOLTS ARE EITHER STAINLESS OR CAD PLATED EVERYWHERE. AGAIN THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUILD THAT WAS BUILT WITH A PURPOSE FROM THE PAINT TO THE WHEELS AND ENGINE. AND RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT.
THE TRUCK WAS JUST FINISHED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND HASN'T BEEN TO ANY SHOWS YET BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE WORTHY OF MAGAZINE COVERAGE WITH THE COOL PATINA AND YENKO LOOK. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL 678-300-3214 SOLD WITH A GEORGIA REGISTRATION AND BILL OF SALE. |

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
