Chenoa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is a beautiful black 1978 Chevy Silverado K30 4x4 Flatbed. It's powered by a healthy 454 bored .10 over with a turbo 400 automatic trans. The transmission and engine were rebuilt at the same time several years ago. It has a dana 60 in the front and a dana 70 in the rear. It has the np208 part time transfer case. Last winter I put a full tune up on the motor (all A/C delco parts). This truck runs and drives out great. It has dual tanks that work as they should,both plumbed to the drives side. The fuel gauge quit working last week tho, I think its a grounding issue. It comes with the mounts and wiring for a western unimount plow. The plow was wired with the correct western harness for the truck (plow and controller not included). The tires where all replaced within the last year. The previous owner before me owned this beast for 23 years. The body was reworked about 15 years ago. The cab corners and rockers are starting to show and the driver floor board could use a little work. This truck is extremely dependable, it started up with no issues last winter when it was below zero. All brake lines an fuel lines are in great shape. The truck does have a 3'' homemade lift on it. The steering is tight and the exhaust is decent. If you have any questions at all or want to come see it please call eight one five 867 zero one one six Josh. Thanks for looking. This vehicle is sold as is where is with no warranty. I also reserve the right to end the auction early.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
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.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
