The only thing left to do is what a new owner wants to do ! Pic out wheels and tires and a system to make this YOUR BADASS 68' !!! These 67-72 trucks are sought after for an obvious reason they are the coolest designed trucks ever (muscle trucks). And the only thing that makes one better then another is color combo and IMO this truck has the best colors Chevrolet made ! This truck is a REAL black and red 68' that I have spent 2 years restoring as my personal truck but a new business venture makes me sell her, it is finally done I've put about 30 miles on this truck and it is ready for a new owner to show her off. I will describe all the work from the top down.......
The body of this truck was in better then average shape, but being a black one means being diligent with making it strait so a lot of hours went into the body work. It was sprayed with epoxy through the whole process and came out really nice.
The paint we used in our opinion is the best, Diamont R-M D-403 Black for the base coat and Diamont R-M 5335 Clear to make it shine, (THIS IS SHOW QUALITY PAINT)......... The paint was sprayed by one of the best painters around so there's no tiger stripes anywhere and 3 coats of clear that's been color sanded and polished, NO ORANGE PEEL. The paint and body work came out to look Badass. And every piece of trim is new !
The interior is ALL NEW and redone back to original this is the original seat and steering wheel in great shape just recovered the seat. Everything that is red is new, all door rubbers are new with felts, windshield is new and yes it has wipers but I keep them under the seat there very easy to take off and put on, I think it looks better without. I also added a tilt column from a 72' van so it has the shorter shifter and aftermarket linkages that work great. From the drivers seat looking out over that shiny black hood with the wheel in your lap and your arm on the door is something everyone should experience!!!!
The motor is all new, its a 010 4 bolt block that's 30 over making it a 355 it has TBI heads with a 600cfm eddy carb and a cam to match. This motor was built for daily driving with MPG's in mind, but it was also built for torque and will surprise you with how strong it runs rated at 285hp and 340ftlbs it will wag its tail going into 2nd gear. The exhaust is 2 1/2" dumped at the rearend with a very unique sound that's not loud coming from mufflers of a 2003 mustang gt, I was looking for something different then what you always hear from flowmaster or dynomax and all the other cooky cutter mufflers this truck is quite when you want and can get loud when you want, very cool sound.
The transmission is a fresh 400 with a 2000 factory high stall converter with a mild shift kit and 373 gear ratio, this combination works very good.
5 lug conversion has been done so you get power disc brakes all new, the braking power is impressive. You also get power steering that's new and works effortlessly. The truck has been lowered 3" up front and 4" in the rear for a nice low truck stance, if you want it lower its easy with lowering blocks in the back.
The chassis and components were sand blasted, primed and then sprayed with POR-15 chassis paint, so the underneath of this truck looks good. All parts underneath from uppers and lowers to shocks, cab mounts, wheel bearings and everything in between is new. This truck is tight and solid with NO rattles, and will actually handle corners impressively !
The bed floor isn't perfect I planned on using the bed so I sprayed it with POR-15, it didn't bother me but you can put in a mat or rhino line.
We all know what this truck would look like with wheels ! but everybody has different taste and some of us know you can ruin a vehicle by choosing the wrong wheels, happens all the time LOL. So I left the personal touch and easiest part up to the new owner, there's many different wheels that would work with this truck from 20s to wide whites or even a black steel wheel with red line tires, its up to you have fun. I also know some guys think they have 30k trucks that are a joke, especially on ebay. I don't live in a fantasy but I did build a sweet ride and built it right, no telling what some of these other guys would want for this truck but I have it priced to sell so taking in count for the wheels and tires, THE RESERVE ON THIS TRUCK IS WELL BELOW 20K!!!!! Good Luck.. It is for sale locally also. Call for any questions 405-204-0058

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
