So I bought this truck just a short time ago with the intention of fixing it up. I priced everything that it needed and even went out to get quotes on a few things like tires and paint. I was ready to get started, but then I was offered another truck that I want more, a 1976 Dodge Warlock (the black and gold 4x4 one). I don't have the time and space to do both, and the dodge will need a lot of extra work as its in horrible condition (family truck lots of sentimental value). This truck is a good one, and very clean. It really doesn't need a lot to be restored, I priced it out at about $2500 and that was with someone else doing the majority of the work. If you wanted to do it yourself it would be a lot less. If I were to describe this truck in a single word it would be "Suprising!" The truck's paint is horrible there is no doubt about that however if you look carefully through the photos, you will see that the body is very straight. The only dent I have found is on the middle of the truck bed rail on the passenger side. Most of the rust is light surface and you will find that the bottom of the body panels are solids which is remarkable for these trucks. There are two spots of concern and they are located on the driver side cab above the door and under the rear slider window. I have included photos of these. The truck runs great and has no issues starting up cold or hot. The previous owner put on a new altenator and carburetor, and also performed a fresh tune up. The truck changes gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive operates great. The interior of the truck is very clean although it will need a new headliner and carpet, both of which are easy cheap fixes. The parking brake appears to work, when held down it will hold the truck in place while in gear and the dash brake light will light up. The issue with it is it does not "latch" when used. The fuel tank gauge work, however it doesn't go above 1/2 tank and is floaty while driving. I would guess that there is a hole in the float and fuel inside, preventing it from functioning as designed. The fuel tank selector switch works however currently the passenger side fuel tank is disconnected as it has a rust hole in it. The old fuel tank skid protectors held dirt against them. They are currently not on the truck but I have them. The power windows and door locks work, minus the driver door look. I think a new actuator would solve this problem. Last and not least the radio currently doesn't save any stations when the vehicle is turned off. This is because the constant power on feed to the radio is disconnected. It either needs to have that connection redone or have it connected, another easy fix. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
