1971 CHEVY C10 "CUSTOM" SHORT BED.  TRICKED OUT... THIS IS MY SHOP TRUCK GENTS, WE BUILD PROTOUR CARS.

This truck started out Black...on Black, (gorgeous too(  first, we slammed it softly, 4" front, w-spindles and springs, second, we bagged the rear with 2500lb Firestones. (Manual Fill)  We block sanded the crap out of it (60 hrs +) and laid a radical silver flake base, we again sanded it...and laid 5 coats of Base custom blended Copper Pearl, again sanding it, ... and laying 4 coats of gold-green mixture peal clear coat.  This truck is outrageous....killer in the sun.  The sides are silver. 

  We then applied Standard New School Chevy trim....and hated it......so we color matched it.....and got the look....!  Clean & Mean...

She drives like a Porsche, seems to be on rails, and I've met the other side of the seat a couple times...you can't hang on. Awesum performance as is.

We added updated 4 wheel disc brakes to cure my lead foot, and poor vision and depth perception...bitch getting old.

  The motor is fairly fresh,  starts like they use to, touching the key without pumping the shit out of it.  MSD ign. Nice Carter carb. a Little chrome..detailed.

We paid close attention to ride.........and she really rides like a caddy....yet slam it into a corner at 60, and it WILL surprise you. 

  This truck is Old School vs.  New School.....we prefer OLE SCHOOL................thanks.   HAPPY BIDDING....you get'in a killer ride.

We BUILD & RESTORE OLE SCHOOL..............street only. " Cool is the Rule..."

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers

Fri, Jan 1 2016

Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
