I am selling my 70 Chevy truck. I have owned this truck since 1996. It was painted shortly before I bought it but was also keyed down one side . The left rear bed corner has contact damage. The clear coat is flaking off. The cab floor needs repaired. The engine was rebuilt in 1998 and has had around 15000 miles put on it since. The engine is a small block 350 with Hooker headers, Pete Jackson gear drive in place of the timing chain, Flowmaster dual exhaust system with 2.5" pipe, Holley 600 cfm four barrel carb., chrome kit, Mallory ignition system, Weiand single plain aluminum intake manifold, high compresson pistons, and a long duration cam. It has working power steering . All the exterior lights work and most of the dash lights work. There is an aftermarket guage trio installed on the bottom of dash being used for oil pressure and engine temp. which is backlighted. The original volt guage works in cluster. There is an aftermarket tach. attached to the steering column which works normally and was new with engine rebuild. The heater core has been replaced. The heat works but the controls do not work. Have to jumper the switch connector at the moment to operate the blower fan. The engine has a high volume oil pump from rebuild. The original three speed manual trans has been removed and replaced by a TH 350 automatic three speed trans. The carrier bearing and u joints were replaced since I have owned it. It has replacement rear trailing arms in great condition which were painted when installed. Also had new rear springs and shocks installed with arms. The old truck is rides well down the road. The brakes and wheel cyl.s were all replaced around 10 yr.s ago. Most of the brake lines have been replaced at some time. Outside of some old tires you can drive this truck home. I have loved this truck and hate to sell it but I don't have the time or money to complete the project. Questions from serious buyers only please. I will answer questions as soon as I can.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
