Up for sale is my 1961 Chevrolet Apache 20 (3/4 ton) BIG WINDOW Custom Cab pickup. It is a very hard to find model just in being a 1961 Custom Cab, but is even rarer that it came as you see it with the highly sought after stainless steel cab and body mouldings. It has all of its original wood bed floor and is undented inside the bed because it had a camper shell on it all its life. The bed is nice overall and the tailgate is perfect and undented. It has the original #'s matching 235 straight 6 cylinder engine coupled to its original 3 speed manual transmission that came w/ the bigger optional 11" clutch. It has a new clutch, new brakes all around, new starter, new tune-up parts (coil, points, thermostat etc) new carbeurator and it runs like a sewing machine. It only has 56K actual miles on it, and was kept in a pole barn all its life and just driven locally. However, the weather beat at the passenger side because of how it was always parked, so the pass side sheetmetal is quite a bit rustier than the drivers side but I have a replacement passenger side front fender, passenger door and although not really needed, I even have a spare passenger side bedside or a whole super nice longbed itself if someone wants these at extra cost to help restore it. I also have a nearly perfect solid 60-61 bubble hood someone could buy to use in the restoration. 


It has all the expected rusty areas like the usual rust holes they all get along the door jamb sill plate where the doors shuts and a few in the corners of the floorpan where the kick panel meets the floor board but does not look to need pans. I think all can be fixed with the usual sheetmetal patching required on most 60's trucks. Will need outer cab floor work and probably rockers and cab corners as expected. The rear window is cracked badly but I have a replacement that goes with the truck. Door bottom on drivers door needs typical welding work, and pass side door needs full replacement. Drivers front fender is decent and workable, but not the pass side - it needs replaced. The grill support and radiator supports need work or replacement. Like I said, I have all the stuff you need to repair this truck if you want to make a deal to acquire the truck and the parts we can certainly toss some ideas around - I will work with you on this. Call me at 256-486-1988

Overall, its a great driver and "patina truck" in that it sports 100% of its original Red and White paint and the kick panel tag reflects the correct rare red and white factory paint and trim codes. The SUPER RARE stainless trim is all pretty much in tact minus the pass side door piece and some of it will need dings and dents removed if you restore it for show. Everything on this truck works I think except the gas guage, and the temp guage. The the radio hole is mildly and neatly cut and needs to be fixed. I have a patch panel for the radio hole. I was driving this truck pretty often last year and it has never smoked, or tried to not run - very dependable engine and total drivetrain. The 3 speed column has been known to hang up occasionally going into 2nd if you are not easy enough with it, but that could be because I am not too good at driving a manual trans truck. All my others are automatics. 

Call Steve at 256-486-1988 to ask questions - Come see and drive it in Joppa AL 35087 (a few miles outside Arab AL 35016).

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

The Fate of the Furious music video shows how much Demons love donuts

Fri, Mar 3 2017

The new Dodge Demon is leaking into everything related to The Fate of the Furious in the lead-up to both the car and the film's debut in just over a month. The latest teaser involves Demons doing donuts and burnouts in the Get Off music video, with copious amounts of both tire smoke and hip hop to accompany the tire-shredding shenanigans. It also gives us a look at some of the film's other cars. Get Off is a song by Travis Scott, Quavo, and Lil Uzi that's featured on The Fate of the Furious soundtrack, which is out now. The teaser for the music video features a pack of Dodge Challengers - both Demon and non-Demon spec - along with a line of non-SRT related products. From what we can see, the movie will have a Scion FR-S/Toyota 86, a highly modified C2 generation Chevrolet Corvette, and a Mercedes-AMG GT S. In typical over-the-top fashion, the final shot shows a submarine bursting through ice in pursuit of several cars, including a Subaru WRX. We can't see much else as the full music video hasn't been released, but expect a few more teasers once it does. The Fate of the Furious debuts Friday, April 14, just days after the Dodge Demon's debut at the New York Auto Show.
