Up for auction is a Solid old 1960 Chevy Apache C-20 Pickup in a fleetside. Have 50 more detailed photos of cab/motor/under the truck if you e-mail I can give the link. Selling for a very good old friend that live a couple hundred miles west of omaha. Truck is in the Omaha, Ne. area. Truck runs and drives and stops with a few pumps of the brake. Has a few newer brake lines also. Truck has some dents and such, but is really very solid rust wise for it's age. Mileage is at 71,XXX and is shows exempt on the title, but it's original. Acquired at an Estate Auction from the original owners relatives maybe 15 years ago. Here are a few specifics. Mostly original and in great shape. Fuel tank,radiator are new, have the originals that go with the truck as well. Tank is repro and the rad is aluminum. Generator is newer,has new split exhaust manifolds and new exhaust without mufflers. Wheels on back are 16" and not original but have the two rear original wheels in the back of the truck.All windows/wing and doors work fine roll up and down, and doors lock. Passenger door glass has small crack but is solid, all the other glass is good.Original keys lock the glove box, lock the passenger door and start the truck Floor rubber mat is in really good shape.. all of the lights work with the exception of 1 parking taillight on one side and 1 turn signal on the other. 1 headlight on bright is not working either. Brake lights work, Dash lights, and under the dash lights work on both sides and the cab dome light functions when door opens on drivers side. Hood parking/turn signal lights work. This is a C-20 with a stick emergency brake lever which I was told is unusual. Brake is not working. Bed has wood boards over top of original and repaired wood but is solid to use. The seat is not original to the truck and is setting in the truck over the the one stud on pass side. Seat is ok, but not original. Has a couple seat mounting bolts broke, or cut flush on drivers side. Should tap right out. Truck sounds like and old hot rod/stock car sorta without the mufflers. Valve cover and intake is painted red but are original to the truck. Could use shocks, and a little cleaning around the motor of grease that has accumulated. I have putted the truck around here and there close by and she runs decent and could be a daily drive with very little work I think. The other side is the truck is in super cond. to restore and great looking model. If I get a chance before auction end I may try and bleed the system to see what kind of pedal I can get but no guarantee I'll have time. I live on ten acres so a person could drive the truck around here or ? up the road a little ways, but consider towing this truck. That's all I know and truck is a great restore candidate for sure. Also owner is hunting for two rear caps that go to this truck, but don't have them in hand just yet This truck was used on the farm and driven everywhere until last fall it was parked due to the rediator. Did I mention the original rad, and fuel tank is here with the truck. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking. Here are a few pics and have 40 more to view at photo bucket Thanks, E-mail with any questions because I'm sure I forgot something. Truck is described fairly well in my opinion, buy id 53 years old. Truck is sold where is as is. I will help any way I can with shipping, or pickup of this truck, but buyer is responsible for arrangements and fees. Could deliver within 200 miles for a fee. Low low reserve set. Thanks, Plummerswife Have 50 more photos to view at photo bucket if you e-mail I can send you the link. Thanks

Hi, To answer a couple questions that I have received: The truck runs and drives real well and starts up with just a tap of the key. Other than the brake bleeding and the shocks that really won't make or break the running part this truck drives down the road great and steers well at 55-60 MPH. I'm only describing thing to be completely accurate. I suggested towing because I have'nt driven the truck enough myself to say it's whole heartedly reliable without bleeding the brakes and slowly stretching her wings. Thanks and feel free to E-mail and ask any questions. Plummerswife

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new
Thu, Sep 29 2016To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
