Reminds me way back in 1993 I read in hot rod mag about the 94 impala ss. I went to my Chevy dealer to order one. First and last time I did that. My salesman said there’s no such thing. Being I was a repeat customer they took a deposit and said I’d get their first one if it’s made. Six months later I got the second one at sticker. The dealer owner got and still has the first one.

Ya thats the link that TFL has listed on an article a week or so ago, but I would love to see it up on the website with pictures. Im just curious why its taking so damn long. 
Looks like they took it down from the supplier and the family first website. These things are sitting in dealer lots and we cant build them online, I dont know what they are doing.

Maybe I'm stupid, naive, or both, but are you guys ordering and buying 1st generation T1 trucks without sitting in one and/or driving one first?  Just a blind leap of faith?

No way I would have married the wife without at least looking at her in person or test driving her first !! ( personality and compatibility test drive that is )  Get your minds out of the gutter :D

Just received an email from GM Supplier and the 2019 silverado 1500 is back in the build and price option. Also to answer the above question about buying blind, My dealer ordered my truck with no upfront money. I have 48 hours after they receive the truck to test drive and either buy or not. I bought my 2016 the same way. If I decide not to purchase they just put it on the floor.

Mine is the same as photo minus the running boards. 

$51,763.05 with supplier price. minus dealer discount and any GM rebates that may or may not materialize before delivery.

Just put in my order for a 19 AT4 Double Cab with 6.2/10spd in Pacific Blue. Now the wait begins. Hoping to see it in early November. 

We put our order in for a crew cab 6.2 AT4 in June, and build date is 9/3. Double cabs arn't supposed to start production till late this year.

Which Color is this you chose?  I like it.

It is silver ice metallic. Black leather interior. Easy to keep clean. I have it now on my 2016.

Yep I do it all the time. I ordered a Camaro ZL1 without even driving one and will be getting a 2019 high country without driving it or even sitting in it.

The truck in that picture looks darker or more of a gray metallic rather than silver ice metallic.

Maybe that is the satin steel metallic. I got this from the build site.

That is possible. It appears to be the same truck in all the video ads and it is lighter in some and appears darker in others. I went with silver ice metallic.

I assume there is no deposit required or it is refundable, because this is foolish otherwise.

Blind brand loyalty.

Yes you can order one with a deposit and get it back if you don’t like it. I have never had a problem or didn’t like a vehicle once I took delivery of it. I knew what I want when I ordered it. I will get my 2019 HC delivered to my house this Saturday without even seeing it or driving it or even sitting in one. But I already know I will love the truck.

I admire your risk-taking attitude and optimism!  Here's hoping you have no regrets.  

 

I must be in the minority here, or I'm not as big a GM fanboy as some, but there is NO WAY I would order a first-gen of a totally redesigned vehicle without seeing it and driving it firsthand.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
