Up for sale is a very clean 68 step side long box, yes a long box which is kind of rare to see and I have yet to see one this summer at any of the shows. I spent about a month on this truck and tried to take care of the major jobs and yet leave enough for the next owner to personalize it for themselves. I will give you a list of all the positives and also a list of what I consider to be minor but will need attention.
It came to me with rebuilt 350 engine and transmission both with 7k miles on them. I know the engine builder and he did a great job with the cam set up (not to lumpy)
It has a new MSD dist. and a new edelbrock carb again runs great with no issues.
The truck has 69k miles on it so the body was decent, we fixed any rust issues ( drivers rocker and partial floor and passengers rocker small area).
The truck has a fresh paint job of satin black, the under side of the truck was power washed and painted chassis black.
The door jambs were painted to match the interior (close match not perfect) All new weather seals and all new window seals and felt. Wings were decent so they are original.
We installed new window regulators so they operate like new, put a very nice used dash pad in, and new carpet that runs to the fuel tank. Installed new sill plates.
The bed of the truck received a new header panel and tail gate along with a new 3/4 inch oak floor and all new bolts. I did not spend allot of time on the dings on the box sides looks good not perfect.
We also replaced all the exterior reflectors and added new tail light lenses along with new front turn signal lenses. The truck has 50% rubber all around.
The minor issues that need attention windshield needs new seal I noticed some seepage when I washed it. Front bumper is missing chrome see pics.
It has a oil leak nothing major and I will put it on the hoist tomorrow and check it over.
Needs a radio, (I have a GM am radio that will fit not sure if it works)
The truck runs a drives great and will make a nice hot rod to take to the shows. It is a turn key unit and I have a clear title ready for transfer.
I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Bid to win If you have questions feel free to call Dig at Digs Rod Shop 641-660-9837 I do take trades must be pre 72 no 4 doors or 4x4 trucks let me know what yu have.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV
Sat, May 30 2015Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
