I've owned this truck since 2004. The truck had some restoration completed at that time, mostly mechanical. In 2007, I put the truck in the body shop for work. I replaced any new metal parts with GM factory parts only. (i.e., hood, drivers' door, one fender and tail gate.) The bedsides were repaired by cutting out the oxidized metal and replacing it with new steel. -NO BONDO!- Custom paint job conversion to a two-tone red and white, like the originals, with factory striping to match. I have since added the new step bumper. Total investment for body and paint, alone: $12,000. Once the body was complete, I replaced the worn out 400 small block with a brand new GM Vortec 350 crate motor (from Scoggin-Dickeys in Texas), the same motor found in the later 90's chevy trucks. Keeping fuel efficiency in mind, I opted for strength and reliability over the original, gas-guzzling big block. The motor, fitted with performance pistons, the vortec heads, aluminum intake, electronic ignition, ceramic-coated headers and topped with an Edelbrock 600 cfm carb., the motor is rated at 330hp. The original, mechanical fuel pump was replaced with an electronic, Holley high-performance pump. The truck has been fitted with a 2-inch suspension lift from Skyjacker to give it a little more height. The transmission has been completely rebuilt and a shift-improver and transmission-cooler have also been added. The transmission has performed flawlessly since being upgraded. Both fuel tanks (20 GAL) have also been replaced. The lower front steering assembly was rebuilt just last summer. There are minimal rock chips below the molding on both sides and a three-inch crack in the center of the dash where the center speaker is located (see pics). I have personally invested well over $20,000 into this truck. PLEASE NOTE: I will work with the buyer to arrange pick up of this vehicle, I WILL NOT SHIP.
