THE BODY WORK AND PAINT WAS PERFORMED AT A VERY REPUTABLE BODY SHOP IN MISSOULA WHICH HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND IT SHOWS BEAUTIFULLY.DOOR AND HOOD GAPS ARE PERFECT AND THEY ACTUALLY CLOSE LIKE WHEN THESE TRUCKS WERE NEW INCLUDING THE TAILGATE,WITH A ALL STEEL BODY THAT IS NICE AND STRAIGHT.I DROVE THESE TRUCKS WHEN THEY WERE NEW SO I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHEN YOU FIND A TIGHT ONE.THE PAINT HAS A MIRROR GLOSS SHINE AND HAS NEVER BEEN BUFFED SINCE PAINTED,ONLY WAXED ONCE,AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT 90% OF THE TIME.THERE IS A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE PASS. SIDE (PICTURED) AND TWO SMALL PAINT CHIPS ON THE FRONT OF THE HOOD FROM BUGS.THIS TRUCK ALSO RECEIVED NEW ALUMINUM WHEELS AND NEW LT235/85R16 10 PLY TIRES WITH NEWLY PAINTED BUMPERS,NEW GRILL,NEW TOOL BOX,NEW LINE-X BED LINING,TINTED SIDE WINDOWS,NEW REAR TINTED SLIDING WINDOW,AND NEW FRONT GLASS.THE INTERIOR RECEIVED NEW DASH PAD,GAUGE BEZEL,DOOR PANELS,RUBBER MAT WITH 1/2" JUTE PADDING UNDERNEATH,VISORS,SEAT BELTS,CD PLAYER,300 WATT AMPLIFIER,NEW NERF BARS.THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS SANDED,WITH CAB,BOX AND FRONT CLIP REMOVED AND COMPLETLY UNDERCOATED WHICH INCLUDED UNDERCOATING THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF CAB,BOX WITH FUEL TANKS BEING PULLED AND COMPLETELY UNDER COATED WITH ALL RUBBER FUEL LINES REPLACED AND NEW EXHAUST FROM THE HEADER PIPES BACK WITH EXTRA LONG GLASS PACKS AND TAIL PIPES THAT GIVE IT A NICE DEEP MELLOW TONE ALL BRAND NEW 18 MONTHS AGO,2500 MILES AGO.
THE STEERING IS VERY TIGHT AND THERE ARE NO RATTLES IN THE CAB LIKE MOST OF THE TRUCKS NEARING THIS AGE.I HAD BUSINESS AT THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THE SERVICE WRITER HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS TRUCK HAD BEEN SERVICED THERE IT'S ENTIRE LIFE.I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH TO THAT OR NOT BUT HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO OFFER THE INFORMATION.
I HELD SEVERAL OF OUR CAR CLUB MEETINGS AT THE SHOP WHERE THIS TRUCK WAS BEING REBUILT SO I HAD A CHANCE TO SEE VARIOUS PHASES OF THE WORK BEING COMPLETED SO WHEN IT CAME UP FOR SALE I PURCHASED IT FOR DOING SO LANDSCAPING IN OUR YARD AND I PLANNED ON KEEPING IT FOR THE WINTER BUT 5 DAYS AGO IT STARTED TO SMOKE LIGHTLY FROM THE LEFT BANK SO I PUT ANOTHER 100 MILES ON IT AND NOW IT SMOKES VERY HEAVY FROM THE LEFT BANK WHEN YOU LET OFF THE FUEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SOME AT A IDLE FROM THE LEFT BANK ONLY.
SO YOU CAN FIGURE ON A NEW MOTOR UNLESS IT HAS A BURNT VALVE.THE WARN HUBS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS WELL IN HIGH AND LOW RANGE.THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY WELL AND THE FLUID IS NICE AND PINK.THIS TRUCK WAS PAINTED THE MONTANA STATE GRIZ FOOTBALL TEAM MAROON WITH THE GRIZ LOGO AIR BRUSHED ON THE SIDES WHICH LOOKS PRETTY COOL.IF YOU KNOW THE 73 - 87 GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS YOU KNOW IN THE 1ST MILE DRIVING IT IF THE TRUCK IS BEEN USED OR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW WELL THIS ONE ACTS AND DRIVES AND AGAIN IT WILL NEED ENGINE WORK OR A REPLACEMENT SO MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.THE ONLY ITEMS THAT DO NOT WORK ON THIS TRUCK IS THE INTERIOR LIGHT AND THE LEFT FUEL TANK.I HAVE SET A VERY REASONABLE RESERVE SO PLEASE DON'T ASK THE AMOUNT,I WANT IT TO BE FAIR FOR EVERYONE.
ALL I WILL SAY IS THAT YOU CAN NOT BUILD THIS TRUCK FOR MY RESERVE AND I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO REASONABLE OFFERS.
I HAVE SOLD SEVERAL OF MY 1950'S-1960'S CARS & TRUCKS AND SEVERAL CLUB MEMBERS CARS OVER THE YEARS ON E-BAY WITH 100% SATISFACTION SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
HAPPY BIDDING!

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
