This is a restored with love 1978 classic chevy stepside that I call BUCK THE TRUCK after a deer theme. I decided a year ago I wanted a daily driver real truck. I had 2 new vehicles that broke down for reasons as little as the gas cap wasn't tight. So I decided to build my own reliable classic. I started a search for a perfect chassis. I found and had shipped to me a great K-10 it has a no frills 350 that when I purchased last year the motor had been rebuilt with 1000 miles on it and I haven't put more than a hundred since so you'll get a engine that will start every time and has such a wonderful sound as it runs. So no need to do any engine work. It has a cast iron transfer case so again the most desirable durable case. Next look at the number of springs on the rear end and you'll understand the extra hauling ability. So I started with a wonderful truck. I then took the truck completely apart and repaired any areas of rust. Not with bondo I replaced a few rust areas with new metal. So now I knew I wouldn't need to worry about rust for years. Then I primed and painted the truck with a single stage paint this is not a showroom paint job it has some orange peal a bit and a few scratches that I did oops but I wanted a daily driver. I spent a fortune as you can see with the camo accents. I also stripped the inside it had no rust problems there but I had to see before I put new carpet in it. The seat needed some help so I put in a slider on the driver side and some new springs then had it professionally covered with a mix between a tan vinyl and the center was made of actual tanned cow hide the back and sides of the seats were done in camo. The inside of the cab was painted black. The rubber was all replaced in the windows but the rear glass leaks a little so it needs to be replaced or repaired. I may even do that before it sells if I get to it The door panels were custom built with 2 sets of new speakers and the armrest are made of real oak hardwood. The dash was covered in real tanned cowhide. So fading shouldn't be a problem as my wife informed me she has never seen a faded cow lol. But for a modern touch I mounted a brand new gps built into the dash. With the theme of deer I custom made a 4wheel shifter made from the antler base of a real deer. The gas gauge doesn't work and the heater fan has been put on a toggle switch to fix the fan switch. The tires are a mixed set of 33-12.5-15. There is some dry rot on the tires but they hold air and drive fine. They are an all terrain tire that I had plans on replacing with mud terrains. The front brush guard has 2 brand new fog light that are toggled inside. The rims are in pretty good shape the pics won't due them justice cause I've never cleaned them lol. The tailgate is the old style chain with new chains. Everything works perfect with the tailgate. The bed was completely redone with new hardwood and what a great look it is. The deer print on the cab wall of the bed has two bed lights that shine in the bed with the dome light. It has a heavy tow hitch with a drop down with ball and also pictures shows the antler hitch cover that comes with it. The bed sides where completely painted but I decided the Crome overlays looked too good to not add. I have way more money and labor than I'll ever see but money is tight and I have to pay some bills so I can start a new project. But I won't give it away. So if your wanting a real truck one that starts and runs great and can be worked on with ease this is the truck for you. You could always start from scratch but you will be surprised how much money and time it takes and realize how cool it is that this one is ready to drive without doing a thing. It just passed a Missouri inspection. The winning bidder will need to pay a 500 dollar non refundable deposit within 24 hours of the auctions end and the balance within 5 days. I won't ship so pick up her or winning bidder will have to have a curb side shipper to Sullivan Missouri. I've had several shipped that and they all went great. Good luck also duel tanks with duel exhaust

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
