Fresh from the barn!


Not to much is known about this truck. It was part of an estate sale. The truck does not come with any paperwork and

I'm not sure where the vin tag is. It was said at the sale that the truck was stored inside since the 70's and has not

been registered since 1959 (see attached Mass plate obviously not just bolted on). It appears that all of the parts are

correct tor the year. Guessing on the year as a matter of fact.Take a look at the engine compartment. Looks bone stock

to me. Foot operated starter linkage still intact. The dump body parts are all still intact and appear to be in working

order. Looks like it has a PTO of the transfer case and a two speed rear end. Most of the interior parts are there.

Heater box, gauges, seat, keys etc. Needs a seat cover, head liner etc. Typical cab and door rust. Nothing some old

street signs couldn't fix in my opinion. Truck had some spare glass and two spare wheels in the dump body. Looks like a

time capsule. Check out the vintage home made mud flaps and custom toolbox in the dump body sides. I have not tried to

start it or turn it over. I think it would best be left to someone who wants to take care and not rush the procedure and

possibly damage things. Looks like antifreeze is in the top of the motor and there is oil on the dipstick. We hooked up a

battery to check to see what worked. lights turn on very bright and horn works. The rest is up to you. I'm selling this

truck for parts only. To be clear, I do not know if this truck runs.It does appear that it could be made to run and drive

with some work. How many loadmaster dump trucks 95% intact have you seen? I had to save this truck. It just plain

looks cool. I wanted to put a flag pole on it and display it in the yard for now until I could find time to finish but the

boss wants it to go. Already have a 1948 3100 hotrod project.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing

Tue, Aug 14 2018

We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
