For sale is my 1980 Chevy 1/2 ton 2wd truck that I just finished putting together.  454 Big Block Chevy, with a TH 400 automatic.

454 was a good used engine that I installed the following NEW parts:  Polished dual plane intake, HEI, neck, valve covers, water pump, fuel pump, air cleaner, plugs, wires, fan, belts, & alt.  Used 770 Holley street avenger carb, runs GREAT.  New headers and 3" exhaust dumps under back of cab, new flowmaster knock-off type mufflers, sounds awesome.  New battery and cables, starter, radiator, overflow tank.

TH400 was good used, but I went ahead and put in a new filter.  New u-joints front and rear.  New front calipers, pads, rubber lines, and hard lines in the front.  New rear shoes and turned the drums, replaced one wheel cylinder and brake line.  New master cylinder as well.  New gas tank, straps, fill neck also.  Non-posi rear. 

Aluminum wheels with 15in tires, not all that great.  Will need replaced soon, pretty old/used.

The whole reason I built this truck was because the body was so nice.  Completely rust free front to rear, minus one quarter size hole in the pass side cab corner, which I replaced.  ALL GM SHEETMETAL.  Except for the NEW steel cowl hood, and both the NEW inner fenders.  Bodywork and paint didn't turn out too bad, but not a show truck.  Just a cheap single stage paint job.  NEW Dee Zee polished caps on the bed, and a roll on bedliner kit.  NEW grille, extensions, headlights, turns, marker lights, taillights and housings, 454 emblems not factory, but cool I thought.

The interior is pretty sweet as well.  NEW carpet, headliner, and seat upholstery from LMC.  Good used door panels, dash, and trims.  Power windows work, but are slow, new window motors included with truck.  Has power locks, but do not work, never tried to fix.  Power steering and brakes, Air Conditioning truck, but missing the line sets.  Compressor, condenser, etc. are there.  Also was a Cruise control equipped cab, but not hooked up or working.  Tilt column, nice steering wheel.  Cab has a new switch for the dual tank option, but only has drivers side tank in it.  The cap on the pass side of the truck is just a dummy.  NEW door seals, window fuzzy, channels, windshield seal.  NEW wheel opening moldings, and one new mirror.

Very cool truck, that I hate to sell.  Over $8000 invested in hard cash, and over 150 hours of labor.  But, need to pay off my CCard debt, or my wife will kill me...8 cars is too many I guess...

 

Sold as is, where is.  Come with cash and drive it home.  I require a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE PayPal deposit within 24hrs of auction end, rest in cash within 7days.  I would consider PayPal if you pay all the fees.   Please come look if you can, always best if possible.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:

2016 Chevrolet Camaro design teased

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Chevrolet just can't seem to help itself from continuing to tease the next-gen Camaro. The pony car gets its official debut at a big event on Detroit's Belle Isle on May 16, but the upcoming model's new exhaust, suspension components, and wheels are already well known. With this latest taste, we're finally getting an official glimpse at what the coupe actually looks like. The 2016 Camaro's shape hasn't completely been a secret, and even Chevy showed it testing while covered in camouflage in March. Still, these shots are a great opportunity to check out some undisguised details for the new model. The styling is supposed to be "more athletic," according to Chevy, and the aluminum hood looks especially good with crisp, straight lines forming the design. "It's a more expressive evolution of the Camaro's iconic character – and one that complements its leaner size and sharper reflexes," GM global design boss Ed Welburn said in a statement. These two photos suggest a more angular, futuristic shape for the upcoming pony car. We're looking forward to seeing it all in a couple weeks. Sculpted Exterior Reflects 2016 Camaro's New Athleticism 2015-04-30 DETROIT – For the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, the design team set out to create a leaner, more athletic design that complemented the new driving experience. "The Camaro went to the gym and came out with a lithe, more athletic physique for the sixth generation," said Ed Welburn, vice president, GM Global Design. "It's a more expressive evolution of the Camaro's iconic character – and one that complements its leaner size and sharper reflexes." The exterior design vocabulary is defined by complex shapes, which appear to be form-fitted around the mechanical components. Every shape and surface detail is a skilled, artistic collaboration of hand and digital sculpting. Camaro's new design details draw the eye into the design. For example, the new aluminum hood features powerful, smoothly curved sculpted forms accented with sharp creases. As a result, the hood appears to be shrink-wrapped around the engine. Similarly, the new Camaro retains the broad, dramatic rear fenders that became a defining feature of the award-winning Gen 5 Camaro. The design is updated with greater detailing, including a subtle crease running parallel to the fender edge. The effect makes the new Camaro look even lower and wider despite having a slightly smaller footprint than its predecessor.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
