     Up for auction is this Stunning '66 C10 Custom SWB. Just finished a complete nut & bolt restoration. Every panel, part, piece, nut, & bolt have been painted, refurbished, or replaced. This is pretty much a Brand New Truck! I love the body lines & style the mid 60's had & this truck does not disappoint.

     I wanted to build a classic cruiser that took us back to a simpler time. I think now days we are always in such a hurry & so used to technology making things easier?  I think we need to just slow down & enjoy the beautiful things in life. So I went with a body & style that is rarely seen. Instead of a chromed out motor & a glossy paint ( that's been done for a half century) I wanted a flat outside, glossy inside, & there is not a single piece of chrome on this truck. I almost nicknamed it Anti-Chrome. Even though I kept this project Super Clean & Super Simple, I still did some modern up grades like Power Disc Brakes, Alternator, & Seat Belts!


    One thing I had to do was install a complete Independently Adjustable Air Ride Suspension. This thing rides like a Cadillac & drives like a Dream! Also added a wireless remote control so when you pull up some where & get out, you don't have to crawl out of it, because its setting on the ground. Instead you can pull up at normal ride height get out & as your walking away you hit the button & she drops to the ground!


   This Beauty is coated with GM's color Flame Red. I could have saved time by painting the whole truck a solid color inside & out, but I'm a perfectionist & not known for taking the easy way out. There is actually 4 different colors on this truck. The inside interior is a Gloss Black with just the right amount of Red accents. Everything except for the sheet metal & few things I wanted to keep original is new. Below I will try & list most of everything I can think of that's been done.

Brand new suspension. New Ball Joints, Tie Rods, Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Spindles, Shocks, Even the steering Rag Joint.

Complete Air Ride Suspension. 8, 1/2 Quick Air Valves, Twin Air Compressors, Cab Mounted Pressure Gauge, 5 Gallon Air Tank, 4, 2500lbs Bags & a Dual 7 Switch Controller with a Wireless Remote.

Power Disc Brake Conversion. New Rotors, Calipers, Pads, Drums, Lines, Shoes, Master Cylinder, Brake Booster, Fluid, & Bearings.

Engine is a Newer Vortec 5.7L V8 with a Performance Camshaft, New Gasket set, Belts, Hoses, Clamps, Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor, Rebuilt Edlebrock Carb, Alternator, & Serviced With Mobil One Full Synthetic Motor Oil.

Transmission is a GM TH350, B&M Shifter, New Module, Output Shaft Seal, Gasket, & Filter.

Putting all this power down to the pavement is a Heavy Duty GM 12 Bolt Rear End with a 4:11 Gear Ratio. For Shoes it has 4 Brand New 265/75r15 Tires.

Cooling is a Harrison Radiator & Thermostatically Controlled Electric Fan.

Interior Has New Seat Belts, Some New Gauges, Mostly New Wiring, New Blower Motor, Some New Switches, New Loop Style Molded Carpet, New Windshield, Tinted Windows, & Completely New Weatherstripping Throughout. Including the Vent Window's Weatherstripping.

     The Rear Frame was Boxed & Bridged with over the Axle Air Ride So that if anyone wanted to pull something, the truck could handle the weight. I did not want to put a bed floor in & cover this work of art permanently, So Instead I used a Black Max Vinyl Bed cover that really gives the truck a nice touch.

       There has been tons & tons of hours of body work in this Beauty. This was a 50 year old work truck that didn't have such an easy life, but as far as I know it has been a Southern truck its whole life & was practically rust free! There is still some minor imperfections, but I cant stand a Ridiculously Over Priced Trailer Queen! This is a truck built to be Driven, Enjoyed, & most importantly Affordable!


     I have receipts for everything done to this beauty. Also have pics from start to finish. This truck is very affordable at 23k, which is a very fair & competitive price.  I have the reserve set much lower though. When you think about what a new truck costs, this price is a Win, Win for everybody.

    I have a Clear Blue TX Title in hand & feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or to set an appointment to come see this work of art in person.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery

Tue, Oct 28 2014

Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.
