I have up for sale my 1959 Chevy Apache 38.  This is a barn find and has been mostly kept in barn find shape.  The Title on "Mater" As my kids call him says make is from the Cherokee Manufacturing Company where it was born as a grain\livestock combo with a lift bed.  The truck itself has 77,450 miles on it but the motor is not original. The Manual transmission shifts fine and sounds like the old typical 4 speed from the past.  The rearend center section was a 5.32 Gear ratio and changed for something a little more road friendly and now is a 4.10 gear and the motor thanks me for that. The motor is a 400 cu inch with a 2 barrell carb. The carburator was rebuilt and runs good now, and the ignition is HEI instead of the old points.  The 400 expells its bark through Headers to 3in. exhaust to dual stacks. The stacks are muffled and not straight pipes so they give off a nice deep mellow tone but sound great. The original grain/livestock combo bed was stripped off and a new flatbed was built to fit this truck, and retains the hydraulic dump bed (works). The Custom built flatbed has fold down sides and are removeable, and also has a hideaway gooseneck ball.   All lights work on the truck and all the lights in the flatbed are LED.  As for the Interior in the truck, I have a seat from a dodge in it just taking place until the original got re-upholstered.  The original fits a little better and will go with the truck as will the original bed if wanted.  The Deluxe heater was fully rebuilt with new coil, valve and cables and controls.  This truck is a mans truck and takes a good arm to drive, as there is no power steering (not for sissys).  The brakes work good but are not updated and still manual brakes, again you need a heavy foot for the beast.  I believe the only thing that does not work are the old original vacuum windshield wipers, they move but don't move too fast..  The tires are period correct and as they are good for around town, I wouldn't trust them on a 1000 mile trip only because of their age.  I have driven this truck quite a bit since I have gotten it done and love to drive and get the attention it deserves.  I am selling so I can get on with another project I have stewing in my head.   I must stress this truck is old school and there are no hot flashy extras and not updated for weiners. So here it is bid if you like it and win if you want it and you will have a unique REAL AS IT GETS, old truck. I will be happy to answer questions if you have them.  I have the truck for sale locally and if my price is met locally I will reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet

Mon, May 12 2014

Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
