 This truck is a true K10 4x4, but there was no category for that so I it listed under C10. I am the third owner. The previous owner stated  he bought the truck in 1976 and drove it until he reached 100,000 (miles sometime in the early 90`s) and parked it in a shed and bought a newer truck. It has only been driven a total of 293 miles since. The exterior has been repainted in the original medium olive green color with the white added for contrast. It has new inner front fenders, side moldings, bumpers, light lenses, window/cab/door rubber, polyurethane body bushings, decals(engine/jacking/positraction/disc brake), windshield, stainless mirrors(still in box). The mirrors will go with the truck, I decided not to drill holes in the doors for them in case the new owner did not like the larger style mirror. This truck has power steering, power brakes, positraction, gauges, factory tow hooks, (original blue) locking front hubs, and a tire carrier for inside the bed(not installed but goes with). This truck was originally a LONG BED but the frame has been professionally shortened. The bed is all new sheet metal  including both bedsides, front panel, and tailgate, with wood floor added for looks. The cab, doors, fenders, radiator support, and hood are all vintage 1972 GM. The cab has had the rockers, and corners replaced with new metal. This truck is not a bondo bomb it is all steel. The inside has new carpet, seat cover, and dash pad. The vintage jack and AM radio is still there but radio does not work. The heater, gauges, horn, wipers, and lights work. The truck drives and stops as it should. It has new front calipers, front rubber lines, pads, rear shoes, rear wheel cylinders, rear rubber and steel lines The tires were almost new when the truck was parked and hold air fine but they do have some weather cracking. They would be fine for occasional driving but I would not go on a trip and trust them. I show a quarter in the tread for depth. The engine is all stock with a new fuel pump, belts, hoses, wires, coil, and heater core. It still has the front half of the original single exhaust, the rear and muffler is new and quiet. This truck still has its cast iron gear driven transfer case. This truck sold new in Mayfield Ky. I have the owners manual, a dealer brochure, a 1972 accessory brochure, and the metal dealership logo that was still on the truck when I got it. All will go to the buyer. This truck had never been wrecked or painted on anywhere before its restoration. I know there is more, feel free to ask any questions or look at it in person. This truck is sold as-is where-is with no warranty. I require a $150.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction end. The remainder in CASH(in person) or cashiers check (only if being picked up by transport). If paying by cashiers check the truck will stay in my possession until the funds clear my bank. I am sorry but my bank holds the funds for 5 to 7 days to clear, their rules not mine. I have a clear title in my name and in my hands. Again this was a longbed truck that had its frame shortened, with a new short bed installed. I will add photos of the mirrors, manuals, and tire carrier. No reserve auction please bid to win. I can store for a short time if needed. Also I can assist in loading if needed. This truck is also for sale locally, but if there is a bid on it I will let the auction continue and not sell locally. I will not end the auction early so please don`t ask. If you want it now use the buy it now. I have a lot invested in this truck and I know what it is worth and will not accept any low-ball offers. This is a rare truck and they are not easy to find. Any ??? please ask.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
