 1971 Chevy short wide bed, and is a factory 115" short wheel base not a shortened long bed. great daily driver, runs drives great. truck shows 84,000 miles not sure if it is over or not but has been rebuilt mechanically  350 stock with Edelbrock carb and 3-speed synchronized trans. power steering disc brakes. this truck is very solid no rust in roof like a lot of them or corners of doors ,corners of fenders all solid. it did have cab corners and rocker panels put in at body shop. has newer tires, exhaust, battery, alternator, starter, radiator brakes. it was lowered with cdp springs and rear track bar rides better than it did originally. has new windshield seat redone and new rubber mat. you can get in truck and drive anywhere. would look great with shop truck advertising on it. drive as is or paint your color choice, but this way you don't have to worry about it and draws as much attention as a painted one everywhere.  original step bumper can be put on if you would rather have it over the roll pan on back you can have your choice. I am selling for a friend ask any questions you may have and thanks for looking.

 I have had several people ask about how it runs and drives so here it is again this truck is a daily driver that you can drive anywhere and also very tight without all the rattles in most. it is not a rough truck sprayed in primmer, it was worked at body shop and could have been painted any color this was just the way he wanted it flat black, it was done a few years ago and set outside and faded. you could take and paint the way it is other than the tailgate, pushed in a little over the letters but could be straightened or changed. it is very straight. This is not a 4000 dollar rust bucket and will not sell for that. a truck this good painted will bring 16 to 20k and with shop truck lettering and distressed paint will bring 12 to 14k and if it doesn't sell that is what is going to happen. and again thanks for looking

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
