1977 Chevy “heavy half” 1/2 ton truck.

Have owned it for 32 years! Hate to see it go but I don’t need two trucks anymore.

Yes, it’s old. Yes, the paint is not perfect. Yes, there are some bondo cracks on the pass door. Yes, there is some rust on the hood and tailgate. NO, it is NOT a show truck. Yes, it does leak some. Cheaper to top them off than to fix it perfect. Been an Arizona truck since day one.

The engine and transmission have been rebuilt (by me, ex-mechanic.  16 years working on older vehicles “back in the day”). Engine is a .030 over 350 with mildly ported heads, Crane 272 cam and 9.3 pistons. Exhaust system is a set of Hooker headers into 2” pipes with crossover and giant Magnaflow mufflers. Runs very strong for a heavy truck! It’s tuned to run good on regular (87 octane) gas. Vacuum advance is NOT hooked up for tuning reasons. Do NOT hook it up, it will then need premium and it’s just not worth the extra cost. Keep timing set at 12 degrees BTDC.

Trans is turbo 350 with lots of new parts and shift improver kit installed when built. Both engine and transmission have less than 50,000 miles on them.

No, I do not have the original bench seat nor do I have the center seat belt. Cab and bed was cut and booted for a pass through back when my son was in grade school. He’s now 32. Yes, the boot drips some. Headliner needs attention too. Drivers seat has a rip on the seam from me getting in and out. Not a biggy but worth mentioning.

Radiator is about 2 years old, 3 row all metal. Fan clutch is BRAND NEW. Old one finally died. Temp runs between 1/4 and just under 1/2 , never been overheated! Will pull small/medium boat and have pulled 6 x 12 enclosed U-Haul trailer with no problem. Has 2” ball and a heavy rated tow capacity rear bumper. Standard 4 pin flat trailer wiring plug plus commercial plug with electric brake and trailer battery charging plugs too.

Tires are almost new!

Brakes? Not sure but have two spare sets of rear shoes. ( 11 5/32 x 2 3/4”) plus a brand new set of semi-metallic front disc pads. This truck has an updated brake power booster and master cylinder used on a 1979 1/2 ton truck. If you should need to change the master cylinder or booster in the future, make SURE you get one for a ’79!! NOT a ’77.  Also have spare spark plugs.

Comes with a 40 channel CB with antenna, trailer brake controller, add-on wiper delay, high power AM/FM Cassette player and nice speakers. Sounds great.

Just passed AZ emissions, no problems 4 years in a row. Tags were renewed in August, just put the sticker on today.


Prefer cash, PayPal fees would be killer!!

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
