Great Running 1957 Chevy 1/2 Ton Pick Up Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
|
This fun truck has been my daily driver for most of the winter up to now. It started with no problems in temps as low as 41 below. ( Thank god the heater works! ) I purchased it from a guy here in Montana who got it from his Grandfather. It is a great driver with almost everything redone. As you can see most of the body work has been done. It has had new rear cab corners, cab steps, and minor dings repaired. It does still need final sanding and final prep. ( most people say NO don't paint it, I love it just like that, just clear coat it. ) It does need drivers side floor pan repaired or replaced. The motor was a complete rebuild. generator rebuilt - new regulator - new wiring - starter rebuilt - 12 volt - radiator - all new belts - new hoses - new battery - new clutch - trans gone through - ( I have a 4 speed floor shift if desired ) brakes work as good as any thing on the road. It has new tires. all gauges work as do the lights and wipers. radio with sub under the seat. I have a good windshield to go with it to replace the existing cracked one. I do not have replacement glass for the side window or wing vent since those are something i had planed to replace with new tinted glass witch is easy to buy at a reasonable price. The new bed is built great and finished with exterior urethane and has no sign of weathering. Truck steers great with no excess steering play and you can take your hands off the wheel and it goes straight as an arrow. I do have the front bumper and grill in good condition. THINK HARD ABOUT THIS----90% OF ALL PEOPLE WHO BUY A NON RESTORED VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET IT ON THE ROAD AND MOST WILL NEVER EVEN GET IT 40% DONE EVEN IF IT IS 35% DONE WHEN THEY BUY IT. THEY WILL LOSE MONEY FOR TRANSPORTING, PARTS PURCHASED, AND A LOT OF WORK. YOU CAN BUY THIS TRUCK AND DO ALMOST NOTHING OR FINISH WILE YOU DRIVE IT. I WAS GOING TO JUST FLAT BLACK IT WITH RATTLE CANS VERY CHEEP AND WOULD LOOK GREAT WITH THE RED WHEELS BUT WANTED TO LET EVERYONE SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE INSTEAD IF WONDERING IF IT WAS BUILT OUT OF BONDO AND PRIMED TO HIDE IT. BUY SMART AND HAVE FUN INSTEAD OF BUY STUPID AND WORK HARD AND HAVE NO FUN. One more note, it always costs less to ship a running truck than a dead truck. MORE PICTURES TO COME !!!!!!!! please feel free to contact me Rick (406) 570-7770 THANKS

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
