DFW Speed Shop is selling their 1969 GMC C15. The GMC shorty was completely restored by DFW Speed Shop in late
March 2016. The truck was found in a garage in downtown Dallas where it sat since the late 1980's. It was pulled
out of its hibernation and completely tore down to the bare frame. The frame was blasted and then powder-coated.
Every bushing from the control arms to the body were replaced. The original 12 bolt was rebuilt and a auburn posi
unit and a set of Moser axels were installed. For the suspension, we installed new front drop springs, front drop
spindles, and flipped the rear end to get it low to the ground. The rear leafs were checked and rebuilt. We also
installed disc brakes all around, new master cylinder, and adjustable proportioning valve. The tired original
inline 6 was replaced for a fresh 402 big block and is backed by a M20 Muncie 4speed which was completely gone
through.The exhaust is true duels with a x-pipe which exits right under the steps of the bed (all custom and built
in house). The body was sent to our friends at Sevens Garage for paint. The body was completely taken apart and
any rust that was present was cut out and replaced with new panels. The body and inside the cab was undercoated
for protection. The body was set up in primer before painting and matte clear. The interior is an original hounds
tooth bench and was completely rebuilt. Also a new steering column from CPP was installed. The inside of the cab
was completely restored to its former glory. The door panels were cleaned up and clear coated to preserve the
original patina. The gas tank was relocted to the rear under the bed then plumbed with 6AN braided fuel line all
the to the 790cfm Holley Double Pumper. The wood bed was also completely rebuilt. There is way to much to list
about this truck. A lot of labor and love went into the build of this shorty. This was a nut and bolt restoration
and this truck is very tight. This truck was built to get beat on and have fun with. No corners were cut with
this GMC and it hides no secrets. All the recipts to the build are available to the buyer. This is a hardcore
shorty c15 with no power steering or power brakes. Just a big motor and a muncie 4 speed. E-Mail me with any
questions.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
