Plus many other things I can't remember right now!
This is a very solid truck from Georgia, I can find one spot on the floor that was repaired, the rest look very solid. All body mounts look solid, bed floor looks solid.
The truck needs a few things: Horn doesn't work, right turn signal doesn't light on dash, needs a new windshield, I think it should be wet sanded and buffed(my opinion)
As far as I know that's it!
Actual mileage is unknow, I had to enter something for Ebay.
If your looking for a 100 point show vehicle keep looking, if your looking for a cool truck to cruise around in and take to cruise nights come take a look at this one!
It starts right up every time, the electric choke works great, the truck has a mild cam that will grab some attention idling into the cruise night thanks in part to the dual Flowmasters.
I'd love to finish the little details but I just don't have time....and like everybody else I have WAAAY to many projects.
The truck comes with a Georgia bill of sale, I can get an Illinois title but it'll take a few weeks.
This vehicle is sold "as is" so PLEASE have it inspected by you or a third party PLEASE! I have perfect feedback and I want to keep it that way. Your welcome to come see the vehicle and hear it run, if the weather is good we can go for a ride, but it will not leave the garage in the snow or rain , no exceptions.
If you have any questions feel free to call me between 8am & 8pm central time at 815-674-9080 or I do check my email several times a day.
I'm a car guy, I love these old vehicles and I'd rather keep the truck than have an unhappy buyer, I ate yesterday and I'll eat tomorrow weather the truck sells or not.
I can store the truck in a heated building for a while as long as the truck is paid for, let me know how long before bidding if it'll be more than a couple weeks.
I'll work with your shipper to get it loaded and on the way.
Right now the truck is in my garage at home, if we get any good weather this week it'll be going back to my storage building.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
