I am listing my 1971 short bed project for sale. I have owned it for a few years now and have lost interest. All the parts included are good useable parts. I spent a couple of years looking for good, original parts. My goal was to use as few aftermarket parts as possible. All the sheet metal is genuine GM and in good shape. The doors and fenders have had the bodywork done on the outside. The inner parts are mostly stripped, but need a little more work to be ready to paint. I have all the inside parts for the doors- The regulators, vent windows, and door glass. I also have the rear window, but don't have a windshield. The radiator support is very solid and has no rust in the area under the battery. The hood is just as I bought it. It needs a few dings fixed, but is straight and solid. The cab is from a 1971 GMC and I do have the title to it. It had been repaired by the person I bought it from. He put in cab corners, inner and outer rockers, and he boxed in the cab mounts. He also added an A/C dash and the a/c portion of the firewall. I thought he did a pretty good job until I mounted the doors and realized the body line didn't match up. It will need another set of cab corners installed to fix this. The inside of the cab and firewall have been painted hugger orange. I have a gallon of PPG deltron DBC basecoat paint that I bought to start painting the insides of the fender, doors, hood, etc. that will be included. The bed needs some work, but it doesn't have any rust holes. one bedside has most of the bodywork done. The other side has had 2 bedsides cut in half to try to make one. It is tacked in place and needs welded up and the bodywork finished, or will just need a new bedside if you don't want to finish it. The bed floor is pretty solid, but is a little wavy and has some pitting that could turn into pinholes if you were to sandblast it. The supports underneath are solid. I have a good rust free tailgate. It is straight, but will need a few dings fixed. The chassis has been rebuilt. I took it down to a bare frame, blasted it, sprayed it with Por15, then reassembled it using the following new parts: 4 new ball joints, new control arm shafts and bushings, idler arm, pitman arm, front and rear stock height springs, two awesome used trailing arms I ordered from arizona, trailing arm bushings, brand new track arm with bushings and probably a few other things I have forgotten. The rear end is not a posi and is a 3.08 ratio. The front end needs tie rod ends to be complete. I will include all the new brake parts I have. This includes 2 front calipers, 2 rear wheel cylinders, wagner themo quiet front pads, wearever rear shoes, and all the rear brake hardware. There is a 307 engine and th350 engine bolted in. They both work, but the project is not running at this time. It basically needs everything hooked up. Includes a one piece driveshaft. I have alot of the parts needed to put it back together and will include everything I have. Some of the parts I know I am missing are the radiator, the A/C parts, inner fenders, brake lines, tie rod ends, instrument cluster, windshield, weather stripping, exhaust, bumpers, and probably a few other things I have forgotten. It has a set of 15x8 rally wheels with new take off genuine GM center caps and good original trim rings. The tires are brand new goodyears with no miles that I bought new about a year ago. Let me know if you have any questions or need any other pictures.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
