Mountain Home, Texas, United States

Notice, THIS ISN'T A SILVERADO, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIST IT OTHERWISE. NOW FOR THE TRUCK. ........................ THIS TRUCK STARTED LIFE AS A PTO WRECKER AT A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM. I TOOK IT ON TRADE, WITH ALL THE WRECKER PARTS WORKING & USED IT QUITE A BIT. FINALLY I GOT ALL MY STUFF MOVED AROUND & IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE TRUCK WOULD BE MUCH MORE USEFUL TO ME AS A PICKUP. I REMOVED THE WRECKER UNIT AND ELIMINATED THE 18" SPLIT RIM WHEELS, IN FAVOR OF THE 16" WHEELS THAT ARE IN IT. TO DO THAT IT REQUIRED THE REAR END BE REPLACED WITH A LATER MODEL, 1995 I THINK, IN ORDER FOR THE REAR WHEELS TO FIT OVER THE DRUM. I STILL HAVE THE WRECKER PARTS, COMPLETE WITH THE DOLLYS, TO MOVE A VEHICLE IF IT WON'T ROLL ON ITS OWN. THE NEW OWNER CAN HAVE ALL THAT TO GO WITH THE TRUCK IF YOU WANT IT. OTHERWISE, I'LL SELL IT SEPARATELY. THE ENGINE IS A 283 V-8, AND SHOWS 70000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS (needle swings at first) BUT THE ODOMETER QUIT WORKING SOON AFTER IT WENT TO THE OWNER WHO PRECEDED ME. THAT OWNER HAD A BODY SHOP IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND USED IT A FEW YEARS AFTER HAVING BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT SERVED SINCE IT WAS NEW. AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, AND DID ALL THE STUFF WE DO, LIKE PLUGGS, POINTS, CONDENSER, ROTAR ETC, IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. THE LATER MODEL DIFFERENTIAL, 16" WHEELS & RADIAL TIRES CAUSES IT TO CRUSE AT 60 TO 65 VERY COMFORTABLY. THE GRANNY LOW GEAR IS OCCASIONALLY USEFUL, BUT MOSTLY I SKIP LOW GEAR. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ITS OLD. OH YES, I REPLACED THE GENERATOR WITH AN ALTERNATOR. THIS IS PRETTY ORIGINAL BECAUSE THE ENGINE STILL HAS THE OIL BATH AIR FILTER, AND THE CARTRIDGE TYPE OIL FILTER. I ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO CAR QUEST TO GET MY OIL FILTER BEFORE I GET THE OIL CHANGED. THE BED IS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE. INSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE 9 1/2 long, and 5 1/2 FEET WIDE, WITH THE WHEEL WELLS INSIDE & OUTSIDE. I REMOVED 5 LEAF SPRINGS FROM EACH SIDE AND THERES STILL 5 ON EACH SIDE. SO FAR, IVE NEVER OVER LOADED IT SINCE I REMOVED THE SPRINGS. I WAS AFRAID THE WHEELS WOULD RUB, AS CAN BE SEEN IN A PICTURE, BUT SO FAR THEY'VE NEVER RUBBED. THE OLD BED WAS ROTTED OUT SO I REPLACED IT WITH TREATED 2X6. THE BODY ON THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SOME BONDO REPAIRS, BUT I ONLY FOUND ONE PLACE. THE BODY WAS PAINTED AT LEAST ONCE, AND I'd CONSIDER THIS A PRETTY STRAIT BODY, AS THEY GO. THE ONLY RUST THROUGH IS A SMALL HOLE JUST INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS FLOOR WHERE WET FEET TRACKED WATER & SNOW IN. ONE THING IS CERTAIN WITH THIS TRUCK. IT TURNS HEADS. EVEN THE GUYS WHO KNOW TRUCKS, WANTS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK. THIS TRUCK IS LISTED LOCALLY & THE AUCTION IS SUBJECT TO BEING TERMINATED AT ANY TIME. TO DISCUSS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE PLEASE CALL DON @ 830-866-3580 |

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
