Original 1963 Rampside 1/2 Ton Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Pierce City, Missouri, United States
|
This truck was purchased from a local resident and had sat exposed in a field for several years. I am a Corvair enthusiast and have enjoyed putting them back on the road. (My first was a 65 convertible in 1970.) This truck required several major items. The most serious was the clutch/fly wheel/differential. All three items were replaced and/or overhauled. Note: The old Corvair used a three part, riveted flywheel which eventually causes failure of the clutch release bearing "bull nose" which results in a big mess. The differential was rebuilt due primarily because the "bull nose" replacement requires it. The new unit has the dual oil seal for the drive shaft of the transmission. Over the five years of my ownership I have accumulated possibly 2K miles. During that time the truck has had the following service items either replaced or overhauled. Tires,brake system ( wheel cylinders and linings) NO master cylinder work. Upper and lower ball joints replaced. New steering drag link. Rebuilt carburetors (each need the plastic pull off). New fuel pump. Added electric boost pump. Rebuilt starter. New oversize battery. Replaced/rebuilt heads. Rebuilt/re-upholstered seat. New ignition parts (plugs/points wires). Gas tank removed and cleaned and a new level sender installed. The interior cab has no modifications and is in very good condition.The body was examined closely and any obvious bondo removed and metal welded back. The use of non skid paint "grey" within the bed and ramp was to provide a good surface to stand on and also it camouflages the dings and dents. The truck starts and runs fine and is driven occasionally. The differential gearing was changed to a higher ratio for better economy. No attempt here or ever has been attempted to make this truck appear as anything but a unique WORKING truck. Those seeking a show vehicle should pursue other vehicles. BTW: The mileage shown is what is displayed on the truck. Actual mileage is unknown.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
