I am listing my 1971 short bed project for sale. I have owned it for a few years now and have lost interest. All the parts included are good useable parts. I spent a couple of years looking for good, original parts. My goal was to use as few aftermarket parts as possible. All the sheet metal is genuine GM and in good shape. The doors and fenders have had the bodywork done on the outside. The inner parts are mostly stripped, but need a little more work to be ready to paint. I have all the inside parts for the doors- The regulators, vent windows, and door glass. I also have the rear window, but don't have a windshield. The radiator support is very solid and has no rust in the area under the battery. The hood is just as I bought it. It needs a few dings fixed, but is straight and solid. The cab is from a 1971 GMC and I do have the title to it. It had been repaired by the person I bought it from. He put in cab corners, inner and outer rockers, and he boxed in the cab mounts. He also added an A/C dash and the a/c portion of the firewall. I thought he did a pretty good job until I mounted the doors and realized the body line didn't match up. It will need another set of cab corners installed to fix this. The inside of the cab and firewall have been painted hugger orange. I have a gallon of PPG deltron DBC basecoat paint that I bought to start painting the insides of the fender, doors, hood, etc. that will be included. The bed needs some work, but it doesn't have any rust holes. one bedside has most of the bodywork done. The other side has had 2 bedsides cut in half to try to make one. It is tacked in place and needs welded up and the bodywork finished, or will just need a new bedside if you don't want to finish it. The bed floor is pretty solid, but is a little wavy and has some pitting that could turn into pinholes if you were to sandblast it. The supports underneath are solid. I have a good rust free tailgate. It is straight, but will need a few dings fixed. The chassis has been rebuilt. I took it down to a bare frame, blasted it, sprayed it with Por15, then reassembled it using the following new parts: 4 new ball joints, new control arm shafts and bushings, idler arm, pitman arm, front and rear stock height springs, two awesome used trailing arms I ordered from arizona, trailing arm bushings, brand new track arm with bushings and probably a few other things I have forgotten. The rear end is not a posi and is a 3.08 ratio. The front end needs tie rod ends to be complete. I will include all the new brake parts I have. This includes 2 front calipers, 2 rear wheel cylinders, wagner themo quiet front pads, wearever rear shoes, and all the rear brake hardware. There is a 307 engine and th350 engine bolted in. They both work, but the project is not running at this time. It basically needs everything hooked up. Includes a one piece driveshaft. I have alot of the parts needed to put it back together and will include everything I have. Some of the parts I know I am missing are the radiator, the A/C parts, inner fenders, brake lines, tie rod ends, instrument cluster, windshield, weather stripping, exhaust, bumpers, and probably a few other things I have forgotten. It has a set of 15x8 rally wheels with new take off genuine GM center caps and good original trim rings. The tires are brand new goodyears with no miles that I bought new about a year ago. Let me know if you have any questions or need any other pictures.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
