1986 Chevrolet Step Side Scottsdale on 2040-cars
Fort Myers, Florida, United States
|
You are looking at a 1986 Chevrolet Scottsdale 10 short bed step side. I am a professional auto restorer, this truck was bought to me to be restored. Customer has decided on other projects and wants to sell this one. I am going to give you my professional opinion on this truck. This would be a great at home garage restoration project. The oak wood in the bed is completely rotted out. All steel rails and bolts that hold the wood in the bed are still there and undamaged. Easy replacement of bed. Rubber trim around vent windows and other windows needs to be replaced. Dash pad is missing although I have acquired a spare dash pad to go with the truck. Headlight grills are missing and it needs a hood latch cable. I would personally re-do the brakes as it has been sitting awhile. Rust on side steps of bed (see pics). These steps are replaceable, easy bolt off and on. You can purchase all after market restoration parts from your 1986 Chevrolet LMC catalog. LMC company is the largest dealer in after market restoration parts and they will send you a free catalog if you contact them. Of course this truck has your good old back yard mechanic upgrades that I don't consider professional at all. Edelbrock intake and valve covers. Dual exhaust and glass packs. Your typical backyard dress me up. This truck also needs total re-paint. It's a diamond in the ruff, these are very rare and hard to find. I have paid as high as $5,000 for body, chassis and drive train for total off the frame restoration for customers. I 'am setting a low reserve hoping that you will appreciate the value in restoring this truck.
Please Note: My description of needed parts is only to make this truck a daily driver, not a total restoration.
Please see pictures.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
