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.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just 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.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
