Here is a nice example of a 1985 Chevrolet 1/2 ton Short Wide, and it started as a very honest NO RUST truck, so there isnt any patch work done on the Rockers or Cab Corners.  This truck drives great, and is very very tight, with no surprises.  There is about 8k on the New 350 Engine and New Turbo 350 Transmission, and the motor is equipped with Holley Carb and Intake, along with all new accessories.  The AC/Heat is All New, and this includes Compressor, Hoses/Lines, Evaporator Core, Heater Core, ect, so all is good there. The Exhaust system is also new from one end to the other, so this truck basically needs nothing, and is ready for daily use.

The Paint Job is very nice, and it is painted back to its Original Red, so there isnt any jambing or chipping issues. The Paint is completely Wet Sanded and Buffed, so it is very deep and a Mirror Finish, which gives the truck an extra clean appearance.  It has been driven since painted less than a year ago, but there are only a few really small chips, so the paint still looks brand new. The truck is Lowered 2in in the front, and 4in in the rear, really sits nice on the Original Rally wheels.  The Lowering did not affect the driving of the truck in anyway, but it looks so much better.

I chose not to put the stick on side moulding back on the truck, and if that is what you want, you can add it back on at any time.  The truck is basically original at this point, all the way down to the uncut dash for a radio, and with the exception of the truck being lowered.  The interior is very clean, and it still has the original carpet, so there might be a faded spot here or there, but it isnt noticable at all. The Power windows work, along with all the interior light and instrument cluster, so the interior is completely functional and very clean.

There arent too many of these trucks that hasnt been abused and patched up, so if you are looking for this style Short Bed, you will have a hard time finding a better example for the money.. This truck comes with a bunch of recipts, and it also couldnt be built for the asking price, so rather than take the time to find a decent example to build, you can save some serious money and time with this purchase.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have, and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.. If you need any additional pics or information, just ask, and I will get them for you asap.  There is nothing to hide on this truck, so just let me know if there is anything you might need to make in informed decision.. I have also included a YouTube walk around video link below, so do take a look at that also. I have a 100 percent rating on my Classic Car sales, along with some nice feedback after delivery, because I do my best to be as honest as possible.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
