I have owned this truck as part of my collection for just shy of two years. Originally purchased for a full frame off restoration, my interests have changed a bit. Here a few details:

1960 Chevrolet 1/2 ton
235 cubic inch inline 6
4 speed manual transmission
divorced 2 speed transfer case
Selectro manual hubs

The body is in good condition. It has previous amateur body and paint work. The red/white color scheme appears to be original, but the truck has been repainted. The frame and body are solid and mostly rust-free. The original wood bed is intact and useable. Previous owner claimed it to be a native Colorado truck with 47,000 original miles. Based on overall condition, I believe it... but it's not verifiable.

The following work has been completed:
NOS sweeper seals on front axle
All synthetic fluids including differentials, transfer case, transmission and engine
New brake shoes and drums in all positions
Front hub and wheel bearing service
Diagnosis and repair of various electrical shorts
Cleaning and re-building of speedometer (odometer reset to 00,000)
Adjustment of hydraulic clutch (may need a new slave in the future)

There are still many things that she needs to be perfect. As it stands now, it is a great, unmolested original truck you can use and enjoy without hesitation. It would make an excellent candidate for a full restoration. I am happy to discuss any details. It is running and driving... registered and insured. It spends its life in indoor storage. Please feel free to contact  for more information. I am entertaining fair, reasonable and realistic offers. For reference, the insured value of the truck is $15,000. Test drives are welcome as long as the weather is nice, the roads are dry and you arrive with a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. No warranties of any kind are expressed or implied. Please ask questions and be comfortable with this truck before you bid. The truck is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time, for any reason.

A few items that I forgot to mention...


- The heater blower motor is not working. There is good power to the circuit and the switch is working. It is either the resistor or the motor itself. 
- In the process of working on that issue, I broke one the temperature control cable.
- The cab interior light is intact, but has not been rewired to the headlight switch.
- The oil pressure sending unit is inoperative. I have checked and replaced all bulbs in the cluster. I have a new sending unit somewhere...
- The parking brake does not work.
- I do not have the driver's side interior arm rest.
- I have two NOS GM key blanks to go with the truck.
- I have a full set of factory service manuals and the original owners manual.
- The truck will include spare parts, including an extra hood (not the correct 60-61, unfortunately), tailgate, and rear wheel wells.
- I have a spare wheel, but no tire to go with it.
- I will include the 1960 Colorado Farm Truck plates.

The truck has been in storage all winter. As I find things I have forgotten to mention, I will add them here. I want to make sure the new owner knows everything there is to know about the old gal, and is happy.

I uploaded some additional pictures of the truck, including some of the frame and undercarriage. Hopefully they will help illustrate the overall condition of the truck. Tires have good tread remaining.

Some information about the tires and wheels: 


I believe that the wheels are original. I have never had the tires dis-mounted to check the stampings. I checked the spare wheel and could not find any manufacturer stamping. By appearance and style, they appear correct. The wheel size is 15". The tires are Power King Premium Traction; 7.00-15LT Tubeless tires; Load Range C. The DOT number on passenger steer tire is: PKNV CNLT 364. My guess is that they were manufactured the 36th week of 1994... But with the old date coding, it is hard to tell. They are in very good shape with no obvious signs of dry rotting.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
