1978 Chevrolet Pickup on 2040-cars
Valley Center, California, United States
|
This 1978 Chevrolet, 3/4 Ton, 4x4 Pickup Truck was bought new by my father (One Owner truck) in 1978 and it's actual mileage is 10,527 miles!!! Yes, that is Ten Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Seven Miles. It has a 400 motor, automatic transmission, limited slip rear end, Trailering Special, Silverado Package, A/C, PS, PB, cruise control, and dual fuel tanks. The truck had an overhead camper on it all these years and has been parked in OUTSIDE storage from about 1985 to present in Southern California (no typical salt - rust associated problems). This truck was driven into storage and parked 30 years ago and has not run for over 30 years nor has it been cleaned or detailed. The hood is rusted and will need replaced from the water coming off the camper. Glass and interior are in good shape for the way it was stored. (When I got this truck out of storage, I cut all the belts off the motor and pulled the spark plugs. I oiled the cylinders and changed the oil and oil filter. I turned the motor until it had good oil pressure. I installed new spark plugs and put some fuel down the carburetor. The truck started right up and sounded very tight however it only ran for several seconds so I could say that the engine actually ran. Call me for details.) I have title for the truck and all paperwork and manual. This is a great opportunity to pick up a nice, low mileage classic, one owner 4WD truck ready for your rebuild. ***This truck is a project truck and every system needs to be gone through, i.e. fuel, brakes, coolant, air conditioning and checked out but as you can see, loooooooow mileage. It has NOT been driven in over 30 years so don't expect to pick it up and drive it away if you purchase it. It will not start and drive onto a trailer, no battery, no belts, no radiator hoses, the brake system leaked out, the fuel system is dry….. this will need to be trailered out*** Known missing items…. Grill, Original Radio, belts and hoses, one of the two gas caps. I have storage reports from then to present showing truck has been in storage. Call 760) 580-2365. $4500.00 OBO

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
