I was asked to relist this truck by a couple of Ebay members who missed the auction but heard of it. I would like to sell it for cash and fund my next project. I do have a local person who has a very interesting trade and some cash for the truck if it does not sell this time. This will be the last time I offer it for sale.

This is my daily driver. I built this truck over the winter to be an old looking truck with newer under pinnings. It is a 1962 Chevy C10 truck on a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis frame and running gear. It looks like a truck but drives like a car. It has a 4.6 Liter ford motor fuel injected with an overdrive transmission. It has coil springs on all four corners and 4 wheel disc brakes. It sounds good and drives down the road nicely.

The body has some putty in it not to fill holes but to smooth it out after some patching with real metal welded in.The body still has imperfections in it so do not expect a high dollar restoration on it. The cab has all new seal and gaskets for the windows. The paint is a base with out the clear so that it will haze and give me that old truck in the sun look. It is not perfect but it sure does turn heads and get thumbs up. It is a good daily driver that you can get on the highway and pass traffic with.

The instrument panel , wiring harness, pedal assembly, and steering column from the car are carefully adapted to fit the truck. Everything on the cluster works as it should and the truck is still scannable for diagnostic under the dash .

There are some things that still need to be addressed:

1) the heater core is disconnected because the core had a hole

2) the defroster vent hose to the windshield need to be sourced and installed

3) there is no glove box insert

4) the truck needs to be undercoated yet

5) the drivers door needs more adjustment or a new latch ( it shuts but you have to slam it)

6) no seat belts ( did not come from the factory till later years)

7) headlites need to be aimed

8) some sqeaks when driving from drivers door

I am trying to tell you every concern I have with the truck. I have nothing to hide and will really miss driving this truck when she goes. Any questions please call 269-687-8098 I will be happy to answer them

Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks

Fri, Aug 1 2014

If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
