55 Chevy 3100 First Series shop truck with gorgeous natural patina that only Mother Nature can produce. Truck is an excellent driver! Complete S-10 chassis swap. Power steering and power disc brakes combined with modern suspension make it drive like a much newer vehicle. 2 inch dropped spindles up front and only a 1 inch lowering block out back keep the ride nice and smooth and maintain all the factory specs.
The engine is a strong running 350 that has a nice lumpy cam and a mild head work. Edelbrock Torker intake and Holley carb. Has a new billet serpentine belt kit to drive the new water pump, power steering pump, and alternator. It's backed up by a firm shifting Turbo 400 transmission. Wheels are Boss 338's in 18x8 and 18x9.5 with new 245/40's up front and 295/35's in the rear. Interior is shaped up nicely. Seats are power and heated. They came from a Tahoe and are very comfy. Floor and firewall is carpeted and insulated with Fat Mat. All glass is original, with matching patina, except the roll up door glass. They are new with new felts. This is a turn key, ready to drive hot rod. It is my daily driver and currently my only transportation. I depend on it daily to get back and forth to work. So that should speak for the reliability! I have driven it on a 950 mile round trip with no issues other than she likes gas pretty good! It doesn't get fuel mileage like your wife's Altima! It is not a new vehicle. It shakes and rattles and squeaks. It has surface rust and dents and dings all over it. I call it "CHARACTER"! Yes it is a good candidate for a slick paint job if that's what you're wanting to do. It's in pretty good shape compared to some basket cases I looked at before buying this truck. Not much rust at all in the cab, front fenders, hood and running boards. Does have some rust in bed area but not too bad. It was a real "farm truck" and hauled its fair share of fertilizer over the years. It has little loose ends that I have yet to finish. The factory gauges are mechanical and all seem to work but I haven't hooked them up. I used the small trio of gauges to ensure accuracy and just have never tied the factory ones in. The speedometer works but I removed the cable to match up a new one and haven't done that yet either. I use an app on my phone for speedo so hasn't been too big a deal for me. All the factory gauges light up a cool blue/green and even dim down with a twist of the new headlight switch. The truck has all new wiring throughout from front to rear also. Other little stuff... Wood in the bed. I have been trying different ideas. The old wood that was in it when I got the truck is in it now. I'm still not satisfied so I haven't bolted the wood in. Cab corners.. I intentionally left them as they are trying to keep with the grungy old shop truck look. The are rusted out and need replacing if that's your cup of tea. No you cannot see daylight from inside the cab. The flooring covers the area and kinda conforms around the cab creating a nice flat area for the seats to sit on. Door panels are not on. I have some but was only planning to use as templates to make new ones. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. I will be happy to answer. It's a great old truck and gets tons of attention. I love the look of it and the fact that I can drive it safely in traffic at highway speeds. You more than likely won't pass another like it on your commute! Fly in and drive this one home with confidence. Thanks for looking and please only serious bidders that intend on completing the deal.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting? Vote in our poll below, then feel free to leave a few lines in Comments.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
