OK guys here it is - the perfect cheap "Hot Rod" truck body to set your hot rod engine and tranny into - this truck was running 75 miles an hour up and down the freeway until about a year ago, until the owner decided to remove the engine and trans to use in something else - it is 100% complete and driveable in every way except there is no actual engine or trans - Driveshaft is even still there. So if you want a cool pretty solid old truck for cheap to run around in, this one can be ready to roll for you in a weekend if you have a donor engine in something you can use in it. It is set up for headers so if you drop in a V8 w/ headers you should not need to do any exhaust work. The "23" numbers on the fenders are just simple stick-on decals intended to promote the trucks' 23" tall chrome rims it used to have - you know today's kids and their ridiculously big wheels - the stickers will peel right off :) 


Body is actually pretty damn nice for this price range - cab floor as carpet in it, but I looked up from the bottom and it looks like it needs inner rockers and outer cab floor work to be perfect, but the front fenders, inner fenders, doors, hood, cab roof, bed, EVERYTHING ELSE is real solid - the front fenders have some bubbling in the lower sections (see pics) and the hood has some bubbling etc under the park lights, but no rot to speak of anywhere - the door bottoms have no holes in them on the actual bottoms, just a little on the inner corners but its not bad - just some pinholes. The bed is very nice and there was never any bondo or repairs to the fenders or steps - they really are as nice and solid as they look! Inside of the bed is original red paint w/ most of the original wood still in it. Tailgate is dented but solid as a rock. Amazing condition of the inside and outside roof - great shape w/ beautiful drip rails. Cab corners are solid on both sides. Straight original grille w/ working headlights, wiring in tact etc, but the radio hole is widened for a CD player. Like I said - for the money, this is a perfect little short bed pickup you can drop your dream engine into and drive it like crazy this Summer....will be a great Hot Rod! 

Additional photos are available - I took about 34 of them but Ebay will not let me put the link to them on here so you will have to request them I guess....

Delivery can be arranged for a fee to nearby states. The truck can sit here for as many weeks or months as it takes for you to come get it, but it must be paid in full within 10 days of this auctions' end regardless of when you are coming to get it. Nice safe no-fee storage if you want to come get it in warmer weather or whatever. Questions? CALL STEVE 256-486-1988

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery

Tue, Oct 28 2014

Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.

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.
