I acquired this truck from one of my customers (I own a small engine dealership). She had the truck parked in her barn and I saw if when picking up a ATV she needed repaired. I ultimately bought the truck and another piece of equipment from her. The history on the truck was that her grandfather bought the truck new in 1970 from Brunt-Ward Chevrolet in Louisville Ms. He drove the truck for two years until his death in 1972. At that time, the customer's father put the truck in his shed and used it very intermittently until his death in 2007. At that time, the daughter put the truck in her barn where it sat until I bought it. She indicted there was one attempt the crank it up about three years ago by her husband but he told he the carb was bad ad the radiator was shot


When I bought the truck, I had a wrecker pick it up and tow it to my business. At this point I have had my mechanic do the following work to the truck:

1. Carb - my mechanic pulled the carb and took it apart and cleaned it (soaked in cleaner) and put it back together. We replaced the internal fuel filter in the carb with a new one.

2. We replaced the fuel pump and the gas tank due to the corrosion we found in the original tank.

3. We dropped the oil out of the unit and replaced the oil and oil filter.

4. We replaced the water pump as well as dropped and replaced the antifreeze. We were surprised at the condition of the radiator as it was in good shape. Later we found a receipt in the glove box for a radiator that was purchased in 2010 - apparently her husband replaced the radiator.

5. We originally had problems getting the heater to work but found a that a rodent had built a nest inside the heater mechanism that kept the heater from turning on. We have cleaned that up and now the heater is functional.

6. We cleaned (not detailed the truck).

Other things worth mentioning:

A. Tires were replaced 8/5/06. This includes the spare. They appear to be in good shape.

B. The truck now cranks and drives. I have driven the truck back and forth from my business to my home a couple of times (about 10 miles each way). The truck engine runs well.

C. The brakes on the truck work although they truck pulls to the left under heavy braking. I would expect that the new owner would need to do brake work.

D. The glass on the truck is good with the exception of the front windshield which has a major crack. The passenger side mirror is loose inside its housing but is in one piece.

E. The inside is in good shape with no tears in the seat or the door panels or dashpad. One of the seatbelts does have a cracked plastic cover housing. The steering wheel also has a couple of cracks in the plastic.

F. As best I can tell all of the lights and signals work.

G. There are several small dents located on the truck. I believe most will show up in the pictures. I would assume the new owner if they want to restore this truck will have it repainted and I don't think the dent repairs will be a big issue.

H. I can find no significant rustthru on the exterior of the vehicle. There is some surface rust on the vehicle. The wheels and hubcaps are very rusty.

I. The transmission is a standard shift - 3 speed on the column

Not sure what else is needed to describe the vehicle. Hopefully the pictures will show the overall condition of the vehicle, If you have any questions, please let me know. My phone number is 601 656 5131 - ask for Kevin. I would prefer local pickup on the truck but will assist in loading it with a shipping company if the buyer prefers. Payment by cash or certified check. I would like a deposit of $500 (paypal OK) within 5 business days with the reminder at pickup.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
