I am selling this vehicle for my son, so here is his description of the truck. This truck has been my daily driver for the past 8 years now and has served me well with no major repairs that were needed, only minor maintenance and parts that would need replacing just from normal wear and tear. This truck was an older older restoration project from about 10 years ago. It was a body off frame restoration, cab had body work, and the paint is base coat clear coat. 6 ft. bed was a N.O.S. for a 1978, no body work, and frenched taillights in fenders. Frame and suspention parts were painted. Shocks and stabilizer, stainless steel brake lines and hoses, brake booster and master cylinder, gas tank, 4X4 hubs rebuilt, upper and lower ball joints about 3 years ago. Tie rod and pitman arm about 3 years ago. CCA wood planks for the bed with a rubber liner over it. Rihno liner coated sides and inside tailgate. windshield, carpet and bench seats were done, but as you can see seat needs to be redone. The driver side is torn. Clutch plate, disc, throwout bearing and fork. Engine is a 250 straight 6 and only the head was rebuilt. Trans. is a 4-speed with that super low 1 st. gear. Trans. and transfer case is in good condition. I bought it 2 years after it was finished, but like I said it's been outside for 8 years and it's been my daily driver. Here is a list of parts recently replaced. Water pump, plugs, wires ,cap, rotor, brake pads and shoes, good used power steering pump, alternator, battery and front axle universal joints. The engine does leak some oil but runs good. The body is showing signs of rust and some rot as shown in the pictures, but still looks real nice when pulled up next to it. Even though it's a 6 cyl., with the 4X4 activated, it's an animal in the snow. I never got stuck anywhere. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer the best that I can. For more details if needed, you can call my cell at 631-708-4497. I reserve the right to end auction early, as this truck is also for sale locally. Truck is sold as is, no refunds, no returns, so be sure you ask any questions you may have or if possible, look before bidding. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up and or shipping. I require a non refundable deposit through paypal of $500.00 within 24 hours of auctions end. Full payment is required within 7 days of auctions end either by cash upon picking up truck or a wire transfer to my bank, truck to be released when funds have cleared.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's
Thu, Oct 4 2018GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
