This is a very nice, original pickup. It has a 350 V8,3-speed automatic, with front disc brakes. It still wears its original paint, but has been touched up in spots. The right front fender does have a small dent close to the front bumper. Very small and hardly noticed. Both box sides have some concave dents where the back bumper has touched up against the body(see pics). It appears that this truck has never been wrecked. The only rust I can find in the whole truck is an area on the drivers floor board, and drivers front lower fender(otherwise is mostly surface spots that are very minor). I have included detailed pictures of these areas. This truck is very straight. It has a decent woodbed floor considering the age. Other than the drivers side floor being rusted, the rest is very solid. The dash pad is cracked. The seat will need to be recovered. The windshield is cracked on the passenger side(see pics). The lights work decent with the exception of bad ground for taillights(work off and on), no turnsignals, as the drivers front turn signal is not installed, but do have in the cab.
I got this truck from an older gentleman who quit driving it 8 years ago on a farm. The truck had been in his family since new I was told. Between being in the family, it had been passed around to 3 people(whether the title had been re-registered, I dont know). He left the truck sitting and kept it running, as he would start it at least once a month. Since I have owned the truck, I have put a battery in it, changed the oil/oil filter/trans fluid, and made sure the other fluids were clean. I also have put new plugs, and a newer set of plug wires, air filter, header/mainfold gaskets, and has seem to run and drive good. I also have bled the brakes, and put a set of used tires on and had them balanced. I believe this to be the original drive train with the exception of headers and air cleaner. It runs smooth with no ticking or knocks. This appears to be an all-original truck that hasn't been tampered with by a bunch of different owners. The wheels are clean with original centers and beauty rings with the exception of one ring missing. The mirrors are the original ones that came on the truck(however have been painted white over chrome, but have peeled).
If you're looking for a truck to restore/customize or have as a daily driver, this is probably going to be one of the straightest bodies you'll find. I have a very low reserve on this truck. This truck title (NE title) is clear/clean and in my possession. Any interested buyer is welcome to come see the truck prior to auction end, and will also make a bill of sale in the buyer's favor. I am not offering shipping on the item, and am offering this as local pick-up only. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours of auction end, and the rest will be discussed with the buyer when auction ends. If you have any questions, please contact me through 'ask a question' at the top of this page. I will give out my # to anyone who asks for it. I have excellent feedback, so please bid with confidence.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month
Mon, Mar 31 2014General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
