Up for sale is a very clean 68 step side long box, yes a long box which is kind of rare to see and I have yet to see one this summer at any of the shows. I spent about a month on this truck and tried to take care of the major jobs and yet leave enough for the next owner to personalize it for themselves. I will give you a list of all the positives and also a list of what I consider to be minor but will need attention.
It came to me with rebuilt 350 engine and transmission both with 7k miles on them. I know the engine builder and he did a great job with the cam set up (not to lumpy)
It has a new MSD dist. and a new edelbrock carb again runs great with no issues.
The truck has 69k miles on it so the body was decent, we fixed any rust issues ( drivers rocker and partial floor and passengers rocker small area).
The truck has a fresh paint job of satin black, the under side of the truck was power washed and painted chassis black.
The door jambs were painted to match the interior (close match not perfect) All new weather seals and all new window seals and felt. Wings were decent so they are original.
We installed new window regulators so they operate like new, put a very nice used dash pad in, and new carpet that runs to the fuel tank. Installed new sill plates.
The bed of the truck received a new header panel and tail gate along with a new 3/4 inch oak floor and all new bolts. I did not spend allot of time on the dings on the box sides looks good not perfect.
We also replaced all the exterior reflectors and added new tail light lenses along with new front turn signal lenses. The truck has 50% rubber all around.
The minor issues that need attention windshield needs new seal I noticed some seepage when I washed it. Front bumper is missing chrome see pics.
It has a oil leak nothing major and I will put it on the hoist tomorrow and check it over.
Needs a radio, (I have a GM am radio that will fit not sure if it works)
The truck runs a drives great and will make a nice hot rod to take to the shows. It is a turn key unit and I have a clear title ready for transfer.
I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Bid to win If you have questions feel free to call Dig at Digs Rod Shop 641-660-9837 I do take trades must be pre 72 no 4 doors or 4x4 trucks let me know what yu have.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
