1970 Chevy C-10 Long Bed Pro Street Back Halved Narrowed Tubbed Big Block 4speed on 2040-cars
Lakeville, Massachusetts, United States
Up for sale is a nearly restored 1970 C-10 Long bed. The truck has already had the frame and bed professionally back halved, narrowed, and tubbed. It has been dropped three plus inches by using dropped springs and spindles. No corners cut in the prep work or finish so far.
The current rear end needs axles and gears, but has been prepped to accept the suspension and narrowed frame. If I didn't use the current rear end, my plan was to custom fit the rear end from a dually for a very unique look. The motor has been broken in while in my 1969 Corvette (sold) for approximately 45 minutes and runs incredibly strong, and keeps pulling all the way through the RPM range. The engine specifics are below, as are the specs for the 4 speed Muncie M-21 which has as much break in time as the engine. All the body work and paint work on the cab has been completed except a dent in the hood which came about after painting. The body work for the bed is complete and it's currently in primer. My plan was to open up the paint on the cab, paint the bed with a two coats, then final coat the entire truck, then clear the entire truck at the same time. I did my best to describe the truck. Once the rear end is done, I believe it is only a couple weekends away from being ready to complete the painting and putting a final clear coat. I will include a gallon of the single stage paint already applied to the truck from Summit Racing. Sorry for any dust on the truck in the pictures. Will sell without the motor and transmission as well What's There Frame - sanded, rust proofed, and painted Suspension - New front suspension components including ball joints, resurfaced rotors, reconditioned calipers, new shocks and lowering springs with dropped spindles, - Rear shocks with coil overs Engine - 454 big block - cleaned, magnifluxed, aligned honed, bored over .030 - Large intake/exhaust square port heads, lightly prepped - New Eagle Crank with new bearings - New Connecting Rods ( end ring type, not press fit ) with new bearings - New JE Forge Pistons with new rings - New Comp Cam Hydraulic Roller Lifter - Edelbrock 750 - Summit HEI Distributor - Edelbrock Toker II Intake Note: The motor was built from specs using Comp Cam software indicating horsepower and torque are bit over 600 each.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
