1960 Chevrolet Apache 10 Custom Deluxe Short Wide V8 Oklahoma on 2040-cars
Vinita, Oklahoma, United States
|
Here is an extremely rare 1960 Chevrolet Apache 1/2 ton short wide from Oklahoma. It needs a few things to be finished up. It is not even close to being perfect, just a good looking truck, the paint has chips and a couple of bubbles on the front lower corners of the doors, even has bug guts from a little night driving. It has every piece of trim unique to the 1960 that was available that year even the trim under the back glass that was only offered on the 1960, there may be very few in early 1961 but I have not seen one. All trim is stainless, including grille, not aluminum. I've seen the side cab sails and this long connector piece on Ebay for $1500, not sure if it ever sold but that's how hard these are to find, very few of these trucks and/or parts left. I paid $1,000 to complete the stainless side trim set just because I wanted every piece that belonged on the truck and it's now all there, and more. The door glasses and wing windows (original) even have the original chrome around them and roll up and down perfectly with all new felts and rubbers. It has a custom console with stainless cup holders and a Sony Explode stereo system with 2- 6" speakers and 2-6X9's on the kick panels. The truck has a 1989 Chevrolet truck 350 , serpentine belt, polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 650 carb and 700r4 transmission with a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am, disc brake, 10 bolt posi-trac with 273 gears (cruises at high speeds with ease) I have the lock up converter on a toggle switch which drops the rpm another 400 rpm in high gear. This model 700r4 had a digital speedometer so I installed the mechanical gears to run the original speedometer, the cable is good, the speedometer worked for a short time but does not work now. New tires and American Racing wheels. Rear wheels were special order 5" inside back space to get the 295/50/15's to clear with no problems. The wheel tubs were widened 3" also. 4 wheel power disc brakes with all new calipers, the rear has drilled and slotted rotors. New 2 1/2" dual exhaust all the way to the rear with Flowmaster Super 44's, sounds awesome. This was the last exhaust system that Billy Jack of Chouteau Oklahoma installed, he installed thousands of exhaust systems over a 30 year period, he always done quality work, he was very good at what he did and done a super job on this truck too. Blue dot Tri-bar headlights and blue dot lens on the rear. Power rack and pinion steering with tilt, chrome steering column and walnut/chrome steering wheel. Stainless steel bed strips and bolts with black walnut from Johnsons' saw mill in Spavinaw Oklahoma. New stainless steel tail gate chains and latches. New aluminum radiator. New chrome door sill plates. New front and rear bumpers. New stainless steel windshield wiper arms. Again, the truck is not a show truck. If you want something that needs very little work and is very rare, this is it. If you are looking for a show truck, please look at other trucks. Here are the things that needs to be done. 1. Needs the back glass which is cracked right now. I tried to install it by myself so it has a new gasket, I just broke the glass. 2. Needs carpet, arm rests and seat upholstered. The seat frame is in good shape to be recovered, it is the original 1960 seat that came in this truck. 3. Needs the windshield installed, it is a brand new windshield and looks like it is in but it is not. I drive it like it is with no problems but I don't drive it in the rain either. I can't find anyone around here that will install it, everyone says the wide stainless trim in the rubber and the curved glass makes it one of the hardest windshields there are to install. With the help of a friend we got it close, but not in, I was afraid of breaking it. I'm not a glass installer (see line 1) 4. Needs speedometer, cable and gears in transmission are good. I'm sure I have missed some things, feel free to ask anything. The buyer will be responsible for any/all shipping costs. I live about 3 miles from a major intersection ( 69 and 44 ) truck stop so loading is not a problem. Make me an offer. The most I can do is say no. Thanks for looking |

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
