Notice, THIS ISN'T A SILVERADO, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIST IT OTHERWISE. NOW FOR THE TRUCK. ........................ THIS TRUCK STARTED LIFE AS A PTO WRECKER AT A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM. I TOOK IT ON TRADE, WITH ALL THE WRECKER PARTS WORKING & USED IT QUITE A BIT. FINALLY I GOT ALL MY STUFF MOVED AROUND & IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE TRUCK WOULD BE MUCH MORE USEFUL TO ME AS A PICKUP. I REMOVED THE WRECKER UNIT AND ELIMINATED THE 18" SPLIT RIM WHEELS, IN FAVOR OF THE 16" WHEELS THAT ARE IN IT. TO DO THAT IT REQUIRED THE REAR END BE REPLACED WITH A LATER MODEL, 1995 I THINK, IN ORDER FOR THE REAR WHEELS TO FIT OVER THE DRUM. I STILL HAVE THE WRECKER PARTS, COMPLETE WITH THE DOLLYS, TO MOVE A VEHICLE IF IT WON'T ROLL ON ITS OWN. THE NEW OWNER CAN HAVE ALL THAT TO GO WITH THE TRUCK IF YOU WANT IT. OTHERWISE, I'LL SELL IT SEPARATELY. THE ENGINE IS A 283 V-8, AND SHOWS 70000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS (needle swings at first) BUT THE ODOMETER QUIT WORKING SOON AFTER IT WENT TO THE OWNER WHO PRECEDED ME. THAT OWNER HAD A BODY SHOP IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND USED IT A FEW YEARS AFTER HAVING BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT SERVED SINCE IT WAS NEW. AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, AND DID ALL THE STUFF WE DO, LIKE PLUGGS, POINTS, CONDENSER, ROTAR ETC, IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. THE LATER MODEL DIFFERENTIAL, 16" WHEELS & RADIAL TIRES CAUSES IT TO CRUSE AT 60 TO 65 VERY COMFORTABLY. THE GRANNY LOW GEAR IS OCCASIONALLY USEFUL, BUT MOSTLY I SKIP LOW GEAR. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ITS OLD. OH YES, I REPLACED THE GENERATOR WITH AN ALTERNATOR. THIS IS PRETTY ORIGINAL BECAUSE THE ENGINE STILL HAS THE OIL BATH AIR FILTER, AND THE CARTRIDGE TYPE OIL FILTER. I ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO CAR QUEST TO GET MY OIL FILTER BEFORE I GET THE OIL CHANGED. THE BED IS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE. INSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE 9 1/2 long, and 5 1/2 FEET WIDE, WITH THE WHEEL WELLS INSIDE & OUTSIDE. I REMOVED 5 LEAF SPRINGS FROM EACH SIDE AND THERES STILL 5 ON EACH SIDE. SO FAR, IVE NEVER OVER LOADED IT SINCE I REMOVED THE SPRINGS. I WAS AFRAID THE WHEELS WOULD RUB, AS CAN BE SEEN IN A PICTURE, BUT SO FAR THEY'VE NEVER RUBBED. THE OLD BED WAS ROTTED OUT SO I REPLACED IT WITH TREATED 2X6. THE BODY ON THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SOME BONDO REPAIRS, BUT I ONLY FOUND ONE PLACE. THE BODY WAS PAINTED AT LEAST ONCE, AND I'd CONSIDER THIS A PRETTY STRAIT BODY, AS THEY GO. THE ONLY RUST THROUGH IS A SMALL HOLE JUST INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS FLOOR WHERE WET FEET TRACKED WATER & SNOW IN. ONE THING IS CERTAIN WITH THIS TRUCK. IT TURNS HEADS. EVEN THE GUYS WHO KNOW TRUCKS, WANTS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK. THIS TRUCK IS LISTED LOCALLY & THE AUCTION IS SUBJECT TO BEING TERMINATED AT ANY TIME. TO DISCUSS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE PLEASE CALL DON @ 830-866-3580 |

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance
Fri, Feb 5 2016A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
