This is a 1962 Chev Short box fleet side pickup I brought back from down south. This has seen no salty winters. The truck has been sitting for a while but I ran gas from a can and electric fuel pump to it and it runs good but needs a oil change desperately as I have not been able to get back to it after I put a quart of trans fluid in it to clean the inside of the motor before the oil change I was going to do and never did. So it will no doubt smoke some when it is started up. Never ran it long so while the motor has no knocks in it there is still the top end tappet noise you get till it has run for a while and gets oil in everything. so what I am trying to say is because I have not driven the truck I can not warranty the motor and the brakes are not leaking but need to be bled. The body mounts are good and the floors are in good shape as it is from the south but the truck has dings and dents as it is a 1962 and has some but not a lot of thru rust as I just had it professionally sand blasted and primed with 2k primer. The roof is the only thing left to be blasted other then the inside floors. I am selling this as a project from the south for someone to do over the winter. I did not hide any fillers before priming. I even dropped the rear chrome bumper down to show the rear quarters better. There is like new 60s on the back. The inside has rip in seat and is very dirty and dusty and the dash gauge plastic needs to be replaced with the right one. The windshield and drivers side window glass needs to be replaced. These 62 chev shortbox trucks are getting harder to find and more expensive when done when they are solid on the underside like this one. Feel free to ask any questions as I want the winner to be satisfied. Delivery is available to some locations so Please just ask first to get a price and make sure you are in our delivery areas.

I forgot I have the drivers side window but need a week to go down and pick it up for the high bidder after the auction. it is in my other truck in the south but is included in the auction. Also I am going to sandblast the step sills and the floors and prime them before pick up for the high bidder. Less to do is good. Have a Great Day!

How GM engineers are using diaper 'snow' to keep you warm

Thu, Jan 8 2015

Testing how snow affects General Motors' vehicles isn't really a problem right now for the company's engineers, but in the dog days of summer the process isn't exactly easy. The only real option is for them to book time at the automaker's climatic wind tunnel. However, a flash of brilliance from an engineer allows snow to be simulated regardless of the temperature outside, and the discovery is all because of his daughter's wet diaper. The realization came to GM Thermal Systems engineer Nicholas Jahn while he was swimming with his daughter and noticed how her diaper ballooned in size in the water. He found out the substance that makes this possible is called sodium polyacrylate. When the material gets wet it grows and forms fluffy flakes that are a close imitation of snow. Best of all, the stuff can be prepared easily any time of the year, and it's reusable. The engineering team uses the material to test the effectiveness of the heating systems of GM's vehicles. They spread the sodium polyacrylate over the inlets at the base of the windshield to obstruct the airflow and then crank the heater. After some time, they can see how much is being sucked into the system and design more efficient systems in the future. See how the process works in the video above and read about the diaper discovery in GM's press release below. Diapers Change Chevy Cruze Winter Warm-up Time GM validation engineer uses diaper material "snow" to reduce frigid drives 2015-01-06 DETROIT – An item commonly found on an infant's changing table is helping General Motors' engineers simulate snow year round, ensuring heating systems in cars like the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze can quickly and efficiently warm its interior. Packed snow can prevent air from entering the inlet panel at the bottom of the windshield, obstructing the flow of air into the heating system and reducing the amount of air it can push out. This can lead to less efficient warming of the car's interior and windshield defrosting. "The last thing anyone wants to do when it's freezing cold out is scrape their windshield," said Nicholas Jahn, GM Vehicle Thermal Systems engineer. "The testing we perform on the Chevrolet Cruze with the diaper material allows us to maximize the car's heating capabilities." Ironically, Jahn stumbled upon his diaper-based testing method in the middle of summer. During a swim with his daughter, he noticed her diaper multiplied in size when it came into contact with water.
