55 Chevy 3100 First Series shop truck with gorgeous natural patina that only Mother Nature can produce. Truck is an excellent driver! Complete S-10 chassis swap. Power steering and power disc brakes combined with modern suspension make it drive like a much newer vehicle. 2 inch dropped spindles up front and only a 1 inch lowering block out back keep the ride nice and smooth and maintain all the factory specs.

The engine is a strong running 350 that has a nice lumpy cam and a mild head work. Edelbrock Torker intake and Holley carb. Has a new billet serpentine belt kit to drive the new water pump, power steering pump, and alternator. It's backed up by a firm shifting Turbo 400 transmission.

Wheels are Boss 338's in 18x8 and 18x9.5 with new 245/40's up front and 295/35's in the rear.

Interior is shaped up nicely. Seats are power and heated. They came from a Tahoe and are very comfy. Floor and firewall is carpeted and insulated with Fat Mat. All glass is original, with matching patina, except the roll up door glass. They are new with new felts.

This is a turn key, ready to drive hot rod. It is my daily driver and currently my only transportation. I depend on it daily to get back and forth to work. So that should speak for the reliability! I have driven it on a 950 mile round trip with no issues other than she likes gas pretty good! It doesn't get fuel mileage like your wife's Altima! It is not a new vehicle. It shakes and rattles and squeaks. It has surface rust and dents and dings all over it. I call it "CHARACTER"! Yes it is a good candidate for a slick paint job if that's what you're wanting to do. It's in pretty good shape compared to some basket cases I looked at before buying this truck. Not much rust at all in the cab, front fenders, hood and running boards. Does have some rust in bed area but not too bad. It was a real "farm truck" and hauled its fair share of fertilizer over the years.

It has little loose ends that I have yet to finish. The factory gauges are mechanical and all seem to work but I haven't hooked them up. I used the small trio of gauges to ensure accuracy and just have never tied the factory ones in. The speedometer works but I removed the cable to match up a new one and haven't done that yet either. I use an app on my phone for speedo so hasn't been too big a deal for me. All the factory gauges light up a cool blue/green and even dim down with a twist of the new headlight switch. The truck has all new wiring throughout from front to rear also.

Other little stuff...

Wood in the bed. I have been trying different ideas. The old wood that was in it when I got the truck is in it now. I'm still not satisfied so I haven't bolted the wood in.

Cab corners.. I intentionally left them as they are trying to keep with the grungy old shop truck look. The are rusted out and need replacing if that's your cup of tea. No you cannot see daylight from inside the cab. The flooring covers the area and kinda conforms around the cab creating a nice flat area for the seats to sit on.

Door panels are not on. I have some but was only planning to use as templates to make new ones.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me. I will be happy to answer. It's a great old truck and gets tons of attention. I love the look of it and the fact that I can drive it safely in traffic at highway speeds. You more than likely won't pass another like it on your commute! Fly in and drive this one home with confidence. Thanks for looking and please only serious bidders that intend on completing the deal. Jason 912-670-1518

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels

Sat, Dec 20 2014

The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
