I love this truck but time to go,a lot of people ask if its for sale and i always said no.then i woke up this morning and decided to sell everything i have.(cars trucks and a moped). just bored with everything. listing this on ebay in hopes of selling this truck far enough away so i dont see it driving around here cause i am going to miss it. i have owned it since july 2004. was told by previous owner that it started out as a napa delivery truck in arizona.with a 6 cylinder! engine is a fresh 355 big cam 202 heads. 500 miles on rebuild. roller rockers. engine needs fine tuning, timing and a new carb but runs good just hesitates of idle.cruises good rides nice considering its slammed. turbo 350 trans that shifts hard and has a stall converter. rear end could use lower gears to compensate for the tall rear tires. vintage heat and air that blows hard and cold. dont drive it in the winter so dont know about the heat. flowmaster mufflers with dual exhaust. sounds great especially idle. big loapy cam. interior and door jambs are rough but SO WHAT!!!!!!! floor pans are sloid could use outer cab mounts and inner rockers but doesnt effect coolness at all. bed has some rust spots inside(cleaned them up and painted over , not real nice but looks alright) but the outer panels are nice and what little rust was there was metal patched.tailgate is aftermarket that got bashed from something rolling in the bed but isnt noticable from the outside, has custom grinded metal flames painted on it. outer cab is nice!cab corners rockers replaced. new windshield and rubber.louvered hood. grill surround and bumpers a little dinged up but arent bad grill center is nice and painted black. flames are painted with house of color candy green with red striping. truck has been painted with 2 part satin black june 2012. original color was gold. mcgaughys dropped spindles and coils with 7inches up front and 5 in back. nice rake to the truck..20x10 rear 20x8 american racing wheels. new brake calipers and lines up front and new non power master clinder. 3 year old aluminum radiator. this truck is far from perfect but shows well body is straight and looks clean. ITS A SHORT BED!!!!!! their is some old rust bubbles above the visor area where the seam sealer to the roof dried up but the outside was resealed just didnt mess with the interior, thats where you come into the picture. as the new owner you can drive it the way it is as i have and still get attention every where, or redo the interior and whatever else you plan on and have an even more badass truck. any question just ask. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
