DESCRIPTION
This might be the best looking, riving, erforming, nd handling pickup I have ever come across, nd I probably deal in more classic trucks than just about anyone else! Owned by the same family since 1994, he truck was completely disassembled and totally rebuilt from the bare frame up just 5,500 miles ago to be the ultimate daily driver and long-distance cruiser you see today.
The finish is visually stunning, nd is a PPG blend of 2014 GM Rainforest Green that shows like it was just completed from every angle. There are maybe a handful of truly minor little blemishes like a stone chip, iny scuff or something like that on the whole truck, nd you REALLY have to search them out to even find them! The worst marks are a few hairline scuffs in the side edges of the running boards. It may buff out when you detail the truck, nd they are basically the kind of marks other sellers won’t even mention.
This truck shows INCREDIBLY well, nd I tried to take photos in both the sun, nd the shade, o that you see just how clean, traight, irror-like, nd wet looking the paint on the truck is.
Gaps are exceptional, it and finish is exceptional, nd the truck is 100% SOLID STEEL from front to back!
There is NO rust, O rot, O bondo panels, O patches, O crushed up beer cans or chicken wire, nd NO shortcuts in this body and build!
All of the weather stripping, ubber seals, nd surrounds are in fantastic condition, nd still show like new for the most part.
Chrome and bright work on the truck is all just a few years old and still shows perfectly, ith no sign of flaking, itting, eeling, r patina.
This includes new:
CHROME BUMPERS
WINDSHIELD TRIM
DOOR HANDLES
POLISHED GAS CAP
HEADLAMP RINGS
GRILL ASSEMBLY
HOOD TRIM
HOOD CAP AND EMBLEM
SIDE EMBLEMS
MIRRORS
And everything else that is bright and shiny on the truck.
Fender welting shows like new, nd the custom diamond plate step plate they installed to protect the running boards have normal use marks from use, ut should polish up like new. They installed them over rubber rings so you can remove them if you prefer the stock running board look. Since they actually DROVE the truck all over creation, hey wanted to step on something a bit more slip-resistant without worrying about scuffing the finish.
The wheels on the truck are custom ordered wide-lip GM Rallye wheels in silver with matching polished trim rings and GM “DISC BRAKE” center caps. They are wrapped in raised white letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires sized 255/70R15 in the back, nd 235/70R14 up front. Tires are in exceptional condition, ith just over 5,500 miles since installation, nd no patches or prior repairs. They also installed a complete, rand new matching spare wheel and tire for the side-mount carrier which can be used on the front OR the back when needed.
There are NO tire rub issues when turning, oing over bumps, r anything else.
The custom striping around the upper sill of the cab and doors, long with the Chevrolet logo on the tailgate, re all custom-cut vinyl, o you can easily remove them if they don’t trip your trigger!
All of the hardware throughout the truck still looks like new, ecause they spent thousands of dollars buying the highest grade and best quality finish hardware you could get! LOOK AT THE PICTURES! The hardware shows nicer than most week old builds!!!!
SuperBrite vintage style tail lamps, eadlamps, urn signals, ack up light, arking lights, icense plate light, nd hazard lights all work perfectly.
Bed wood is stunning, nd each board was treated to multiple hand-rubbed coats of Weather Seal before installation so that it will look this good for a long time!
Stainless steel strapping shows like new, s does the hardware for it, nd the bed sides, nner tail gate, nd all corresponding hardware all look fantastic.
Glass on the truck is in excellent condition, nd shows no cracks, hips, ogging, aminate issues, r anything else.
Windows go up and down with ease on new regulators with exceptional looking combs.
The truck has a killer nose-down stance that looks beautiful sitting still, nd really does show nicer in person than in the 100 EXTRA-LARGE photos you will see in the ad. PLEASE come and see it. The first person who does will buy it.
Overall, he outside of this truck is about as nice as can be, nd it is 100% ready to enter a car show and win another trophy RIGHT NOW.
Under the hood, he engine shows as nice as most Trailer Queens, ven though this truck is a proven and reliable long-haul cruiser!
Firewall is painted to match the exterior and looks fantastic, hile the motor is dressed with a ton of beautiful chrome, illet, nd brightly-colored goodies that gleam in the sunlight!
The prior owner said he spent a day cleaning it from front to back after every trip, nd gave it a full detail after anything each 950 mile run North or South it travelled.
GMPP supplied the black valve covers and air cleaners with red Chevy logo and lettering. Everything else is either chrome, olished, ainted, r detailed to show extra nice at the car show with the hood open.
Polished aluminum headers connect to a custom fabricated aluminum exhaust system with Flowmaster box style mufflers and chrome exhaust tips. The fual system sounds AMAZING, nd is not so loud that you can’t talk inside the cab.
Radiator is a Be-Cool EXTRAME unit. It has a giant electric FLEX-A-LITE fan on the back of it, nd works with the high-flow performance water-pump to keep this truck RIDICULOUSLY cool at all times!
Without the A/C on, nd cruising it for a 50 mile trip here in our 70 degree Florida “winter”, t did NOT go over 170. NOT ONCE. With the A/C on, n the same day and on the drive BACK from our trip, t didn’t go over 178. It can sit at idle with the air on and not go over 180! It is about the coolest running machine we have had.
While the cab was off the frame, t was walnut blasted, moothed, nd treated to POR15 and a light spray of chassis black.
The original frame rails were matched to GM IFS clip with power steering, ront disc brakes, -Arms, owering coils, nd performance shocks up front.
In back, GM bolt rear with POSI-Traction stuffed with Richmond 3.23 gears was installed with leaf springs and performance shocks.
Transmission is a GM 350Turbo automatic with electric kickdown, nd it was built by BTE for the truck with modified accumulators, ecalibrated valve body and valve plates, eavy duty sprag, nd a TCI Super Pump.
It shifts perfectly in all gears, nd has absolutely zero issues or defects at this time.
This truck is one of THE best running and performing machines I have been in for a while. It starts with a turn of the key, dles cleanly, nd the choke makes it warm and ready to go ASAP!
It has a perfect blend of power and performance, nd the truck easily will spin the rear tires off at a red light, hile maintaining a solid 70mph cruising speed at just under 2600 RPM.
It kicks down for passing or hill climbs with ease, nd has plenty of oomph on demand for when you need it.
This truck really needs to be seen and driven to be appreciated. It is like driving a new pickup, n that it has NO pulling, ander, r handling issues of any kind. It goes down the road perfectly, nd stops without any odd modulation, iving, r issues.
You can fly here and drive this truck home anywhere you can get to by road, nd I won’t worry about you. IT IS AS PROVEN A TRUCK AS ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 18 YEARS OF DOING THIS. IT IS DIALED IN.
Wiring harness is all modern and redone from front to back.
Gas tank was replaced with a new unit and new fill neck with splash back protection.
The truck has the best in components, ccessories, nd parts installed on it, ecause the prior owner NEVER wanted to break down on a long trip to and from Mississippi.
Pop open the door, nd you see a full custom interior that combines modern materials and upgrades with a classic style.
Medium tan leather covers the doors, ick panels, eadliner, isors, nd the 60/40 split bench seat, nd it all shows like new!
Classic stitching gives it a clean look that will never be dated.
The 60/40 bench seat has power adjustability on the driver side, nd there are functional lap belts in place for everyone.
No rips, ears, eam pulls, tains, r damage is evident, nd everything shows wonderfully.
Door pulls and window rollers are NOS style, nd look and work like new. Chrome window trim and vent window trim all look magnificent.
Carpeting is a custom cut automotive grade in matching medium tan, ith fully banded edges. It has been installed over sound and heat proofing material, nd has aluminum trim banding on the outboard edges to allow access to the floor of the truck and the battery which is located under the passenger foot well.
Carpet shows perfectly, nd extends up the firewall and includes a column wrap. There is a full length custom banded floor mat that shows like new, s well as two heavy-duty protective vinyl mats we are including with the truck.
Vintage Air was sourced for a GENERATION II Slimline full A/C, eat, nd defrost installation on the truck. 3 vents grace the under dash area, nd the control panel is unobtrusive and easy to use. Air blows ice cold, nd heat blows incredibly hot. Cooling system is R134A, nd has no known issues.
The dash is stock appearing, nd painted to match the exterior. The glove box opens to reveal the correct lined storage area, ince the A/C components were carefully installed and didn’t steal the room.
A Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit provides modern audio functionality and digital tuning and is mounted under the dash to keep from damaging the original truck. It sounds fantastic through the hidden speakers in the cab of the truck.
Gauges have been replaced with DAKOTA DIGITAL units in the stock locations, nd they provide accurate readings for MPH/FUEL/VOLTS/OIL/WATER/RPM/ODOMETER/TRIP METER/and PRND selection.
The windshield wipers are now electric and have a separate control switch which works perfectly.
Factory switch for the lights works like it should, nd under the dash on the right side is the master switch for the electronic fan and a functional 12V cigar lighter receptacle for phones, AVI, nd anything else that you want to plug in.
A late model GM tilt column was sourced and has functional tilt, urn signal stalk, nd a beautiful leather wrapped GRANT chrome steering wheel.
The truck has a stock-style functional Emergency brake and release pull, long with a functional cowl vent with inside handle.
Overall, he interior is about as clean, traight, nd nice as you could ever want, nd is essentially flaw free.
I don’t know what else to really tell you. You’re not dumb, nd I am sure that one look at the photos, nd the understanding that this truck was owned by one family for 22 years that relied on it to cover a 950 mile multi-State trip FOUR TIMES will let you know more than I can type about it.
I honestly don’t believe that you could ever find a truck that combines the show-ready looks, roven reliability, ong-haul track record, nd overall cleanliness this truck has.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN: IF YOU COME HERE AND SEE IT, OU WILL BUY IT
It is clean and ready to show right now, nd we have not formally detailed it! This is how nice it has been kept its whole entire life! Imagine how nice it will look when you take the time to get all the nooks and crannies!
