Up for auction is my 1967 Chevy C30 1 ton dually flatbed stakeside. The truck is an amazing survivor that is rather straight. The cab exterior is flat white where I touched up the original chalky patina paint. The interior is patina blue with the exception of any parts I replaced are now black. The truck has a 327 and 4 speed that runs great. The 327 runs well, runs cool and doesn't leak a drop. The 4 speed shifts like a school bus due to its ridiculously low gears. Every once in a blue moon, the release bearing would make a growl noise. I had bought an entire new clutch kit with bearings in the event it ever let go. I've driven the truck frequently for over a year and the release bearing has never been an issue. The clutch kit goes with the truck upon final sale and it is a heavy duty kit. I don't anticipate you will need it either but it is a good safety net. The rearend is geared so low that I often use 2nd gear starting out. The satin black bed is a 12 foot flatbed with a stakeside wall. The walls can be removed or you can attach the 2 foot extensions I have for them. I also have a cattle door for the very back of the truck. I've used this truck to advertise my business and fetch parts for the last year. It has served me well and never left me stranded. Things that operate slowly or not as they should drive me nuts and for this reason I replaced the windshield wiper motor, LED dash lights, LED tail lights, LED flasher. I also replaced the thermostat, temp gauge, temp sending unit, air filter, dash pad, sun visors, seat, tinted the windows, replaced the 16.5 factory wheels and tires with 16" Moto Metal chrome wheels with Yokohama Geolander ATS 235/85/16 tires. I bought the wheels and tires in April of this year. The tires are 8 or ten ply. They are load range "E" if that helps. There probably plenty of things that I am forgetting so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. $250 non refundable deposit via paypal due upon auction close. Balance is due within 10 days and the truck is to be picked up in Hayden Idaho 83835. I can help accommodate whomever you choose for shipping but balance must be paid in full and cleared first. Thanks for looking.

Chevy teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery Â– and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
