1963 Chevrolet C-10 Rat Rod Pickup,5 Spd,230 6cyl, 3 Carbs,fresh Build Must See! on 2040-cars
Apopka, Florida, United States
You are viewing a 1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup. This is one of the coolest RAT RODS I have ever seen! This truck was just completed 2 weeks ago. I want to point out that most RAT RODS are built with used junk yard parts. That’s cool, but that is not the case here. Most parts have been completely rebuilt. I wanted to build a Rat Rod that was definitely a Rat look, but built with dependability and reliability in mind. Something you can drive every day! The body on this truck is actually very nice. Please note the patina you see is all natural. This has not been painted or made to look like this. Any blue you see is from the original paint! I added a few coats of clear to give it this look and to protect the original patina. Has custom hand painted OLD School pinstriping throughout. The bed is all new. Interior has original seat completely rebuilt. Seat is recovered in Old School Green Metallic and Black with matching Steering Wheel. Dash is original. Motor is a1964,230 inline 6 Cyl. The motor and head are completely rebuilt. Have receipts to verify all work done on engine. Only 50 break in miles on motor! Carbs are freshly rebuilt 3 in line Single Barrel Rochesters on a polished Offenhauser manifold. Has progressive linkage that works perfect! Runs on center carb until you stand on it. Gets amazing gas mileage! Transmission is an S-10 5 Speed with New Clutch. Rear end is late model Chevy 10 bolt. Has front Disc Brakes,Drum Rear. Riding on brand new Coker Radial Tires with Wide Whites and Baby Moons. I have installed green LED lights to light up engine and under the dash operated by switch under dash. Very cool at night! This truck drives perfect! As I said, it was built to drive every day if you like. Just a blast to drive and draws a crowd everywhere it goes. I designed a little fun theme with this truck. Please notice the 1950’s Budweiser Cooler, the Vintage Army Container, and the Tool Box mounted in the rear of bed. Tool box is actually a gas grill! Mounted on a hinge to swing out on the tailgate. Perfect for tailgating at local shows or the beach! This is truly a one of a kind Rat Rod Pickup. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions. I would love to talk to you about this truck as it is one of my creations. Thanks for looking. Paul 407-256-8911 Please call for a BUY-IT-NOW price! I sell most of my vehicles with BUY-IT-NOW option.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
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?
