I was asked to relist this truck by a couple of Ebay members who missed the auction but heard of it. I would like to sell it for cash and fund my next project. I do have a local person who has a very interesting trade and some cash for the truck if it does not sell this time. This will be the last time I offer it for sale. 



This is my daily driver. I built this truck over the winter to be an old looking truck with newer under pinnings. It is a 1962 Chevy C10  truck on a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis frame and running gear. It looks like a truck but drives like a car. It has a 4.6 Liter ford motor fuel injected with an overdrive transmission. It has coil springs on all four corners and 4 wheel disc brakes. It sounds good and drives down the road nicely.

The body has some putty in it not to fill holes but to smooth it out after some patching with real metal welded in.The body still has imperfections in it so do not expect a high dollar restoration on it. The cab has all new seal and gaskets for the windows. The paint is a base with out the clear so that it will haze and give me that old truck in the sun look. It is not perfect but it sure does turn heads and get thumbs up. It is a good daily driver that you can get on the highway and pass traffic with.  

The instrument panel , wiring harness, pedal assembly, and steering column from the car are carefully adapted to fit the truck. Everything on the cluster works as it should and the truck is still scannable for diagnostic under the dash .

There are some things that still need to be addressed:
1) the heater core is disconnected because the core had a hole 
2) the defroster vent hose to the windshield  need to be sourced and installed
3) there is no glove box insert
4) the truck needs to be undercoated yet
5) the drivers door needs more adjustment or a new latch ( it shuts but you have to slam it)
6) no seat belts ( did not come from the factory till later years)
7) headlites need to be aimed
8) some sqeaks when driving from drivers door 

I am trying to tell you every concern I have with the truck. I have nothing to hide and will really miss driving this truck when she goes. Any questions please call 269-687-8098 I will be happy to answer them

GM opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks

Mon, Nov 1 2021

In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."  Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.

Worldwide, Nissan Leaf has outsold next two competitors combined

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Nissan may not be meeting some of the more optimistic prognostications with sales of its Leaf electric vehicle, but it's certainly kicking the competition's butt. EV Sales is tracking global sales of plug-in vehicle models and estimates that Nissan has sold almost 172,000 units of the Leaf worldwide. That's more than the two next-best-selling plug-ins combined. Globally, EV Sales estimates, the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in has moved about 88,000 units, while Toyota has sold about 71,000 of its Prius Plug-in Hybrid vehicles worldwide. Fourth-place Tesla Model S is close behind at about 66,000 units. Among automakers, Nissan is also by far the lead dog, but Mitsubishi has leapfrogged Chevrolet among plug-in vehicle makers, as the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid continues to sell well. Impressively, the relatively new BMW i3 has moved almost 23,000 units since its debut in Germany last year. As for Nissan, company chief Carlos Ghosn said at the New York Auto Show earlier this month that the company could sell as many as 50,000 units a year of the Leaf in the US, provided that charging infrastructure throughout the country improves. Earlier this year, cumulative US Leaf sales moved past 75,000 units since its late-2010 launch.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
