1983 Cheverolet 3500 4spd Dually Burgandy W/ Fifth Wheel on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Kentucky, United States
Hello!
Up for Auction this week is a legend in the Automotive History world for best designed trucks of the era. The Silverado is a "Gold Standard" truck for performance and collectibles alike. The early 80's models boasted a wide stance and aggressive square body that truck enthusiasts have always loved, escpecially me. This truck captures both the essence of a hotrod mechanics dream make over or a farm boys love for classic functional muscle. Please take a look at the photos and a brief description below and bid to win this American Hero.
I bought this truck off of a farm where I am working construction in Ghent, Ky. It appealed to me not only for the price, but for condition in which I found the body. Nearly perfect after 31 years with a few minor flaws, it stands true to the momento of Cheverolet. "Lock a Rock" this truck is still kicking and ready to pull. It has a 4 barrell carb with electronic fuel pump (aftermarket) combined with small block 350 and a 4spd transmission.
Winner of the Auction will receive free 12 gauge pump shotgun if bid reaches above $2300. A portion of the proceeds is going to the Wounded Warrior Foundation, as an OIF veteran I feel we need to give back to our brothers.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
