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.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
