55 Chevy 3100 First Series shop truck with gorgeous natural patina that only Mother Nature can produce. Truck is an excellent driver! Complete S-10 chassis swap. Power steering and power disc brakes combined with modern suspension make it drive like a much newer vehicle. 2 inch dropped spindles up front and only a 1 inch lowering block out back keep the ride nice and smooth and maintain all the factory specs.
The engine is a strong running 350 that has a nice lumpy cam and a mild head work. Edelbrock Torker intake and Holley carb. Has a new billet serpentine belt kit to drive the new water pump, power steering pump, and alternator. It's backed up by a firm shifting Turbo 400 transmission. Wheels are Boss 338's in 18x8 and 18x9.5 with new 245/40's up front and 295/35's in the rear. Interior is shaped up nicely. Seats are power and heated. They came from a Tahoe and are very comfy. Floor and firewall is carpeted and insulated with Fat Mat. All glass is original, with matching patina, except the roll up door glass. They are new with new felts. This is a turn key, ready to drive hot rod. It is my daily driver and currently my only transportation. I depend on it daily to get back and forth to work. So that should speak for the reliability! I have driven it on a 950 mile round trip with no issues other than she likes gas pretty good! It doesn't get fuel mileage like your wife's Altima! It is not a new vehicle. It shakes and rattles and squeaks. It has surface rust and dents and dings all over it. I call it "CHARACTER"! Yes it is a good candidate for a slick paint job if that's what you're wanting to do. It's in pretty good shape compared to some basket cases I looked at before buying this truck. Not much rust at all in the cab, front fenders, hood and running boards. Does have some rust in bed area but not too bad. It was a real "farm truck" and hauled its fair share of fertilizer over the years. It has little loose ends that I have yet to finish. The factory gauges are mechanical and all seem to work but I haven't hooked them up. I used the small trio of gauges to ensure accuracy and just have never tied the factory ones in. The speedometer works but I removed the cable to match up a new one and haven't done that yet either. I use an app on my phone for speedo so hasn't been too big a deal for me. All the factory gauges light up a cool blue/green and even dim down with a twist of the new headlight switch. The truck has all new wiring throughout from front to rear also. Other little stuff... Wood in the bed. I have been trying different ideas. The old wood that was in it when I got the truck is in it now. I'm still not satisfied so I haven't bolted the wood in. Cab corners.. I intentionally left them as they are trying to keep with the grungy old shop truck look. The are rusted out and need replacing if that's your cup of tea. No you cannot see daylight from inside the cab. The flooring covers the area and kinda conforms around the cab creating a nice flat area for the seats to sit on. Door panels are not on. I have some but was only planning to use as templates to make new ones. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. I will be happy to answer. It's a great old truck and gets tons of attention. I love the look of it and the fact that I can drive it safely in traffic at highway speeds. You more than likely won't pass another like it on your commute! Fly in and drive this one home with confidence. Thanks for looking and please only serious bidders that intend on completing the deal.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
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.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
