Up for sale is a very clean 68 step side long box, yes a long box which is kind of rare to see and I have yet to see one this summer at any of the shows. I spent about a month on this truck and tried to take care of the major jobs and yet leave enough for the next owner to personalize it for themselves. I will give you a list of all the positives and also a list of what I consider to be minor but will need attention.
It came to me with rebuilt 350 engine and transmission both with 7k miles on them. I know the engine builder and he did a great job with the cam set up (not to lumpy)
It has a new MSD dist. and a new edelbrock carb again runs great with no issues.
The truck has 69k miles on it so the body was decent, we fixed any rust issues ( drivers rocker and partial floor and passengers rocker small area).
The truck has a fresh paint job of satin black, the under side of the truck was power washed and painted chassis black.
The door jambs were painted to match the interior (close match not perfect) All new weather seals and all new window seals and felt. Wings were decent so they are original.
We installed new window regulators so they operate like new, put a very nice used dash pad in, and new carpet that runs to the fuel tank. Installed new sill plates.
The bed of the truck received a new header panel and tail gate along with a new 3/4 inch oak floor and all new bolts. I did not spend allot of time on the dings on the box sides looks good not perfect.
We also replaced all the exterior reflectors and added new tail light lenses along with new front turn signal lenses. The truck has 50% rubber all around.
The minor issues that need attention windshield needs new seal I noticed some seepage when I washed it. Front bumper is missing chrome see pics.
It has a oil leak nothing major and I will put it on the hoist tomorrow and check it over.
Needs a radio, (I have a GM am radio that will fit not sure if it works)
The truck runs a drives great and will make a nice hot rod to take to the shows. It is a turn key unit and I have a clear title ready for transfer.
I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Bid to win If you have questions feel free to call Dig at Digs Rod Shop 641-660-9837 I do take trades must be pre 72 no 4 doors or 4x4 trucks let me know what yu have.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
