Up for auction a rare GMC 1/2 ton pick up truck. I believe in driving the trucks I restore so I built this truck with this in mind. This truck was built using a Chevy S10 frame and has the 4.3 Vortech engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. All the sheet metal bed, cab, fenders, etc.. except the front bed panel (which i replaced) are original. The truck has 15" rally wheels with 3" beauty rings and original late 60s era derby hub caps. The cab inside floor and under the cab and under the fenders have been painted with P.O.R.15. The cab and bed were epoxied primed. And the fenders were painted with Z Chrome rust defender before painting. The truck is painted in a firethorn red gold metallic flake. The paint job is not perfect but is nice and the truck does turn heads. I tried to keep the truck as original looking as possible but also keeping comfort in mind. The cowl vent works and the windshield cranks open. There is the original style headlight switch. I used a S10 instrument cluster but also used the original style instrument cluster bezel. The seats are black leather power seats the diver seat being a 8 position power seat. The steering column is a S10 column and the blinkers, and high low beam are controlled by the blinker arm. The windshield wipers are single speed and controlled by a toggle switch in the dash. The interior light is also controlled by a toggle switch on the dash. The driver and passenger door glass are original to the truck. the windshield and back glas have been replaced. All the handles except the window crank handle are original to the truck. The steering wheel is a custom grant 13.5 inch wheel. All the rubber seals have been replaced. The bed has oak boards that me and my dad planned and finished from rough cut oak slats my neighbor cut in his saw mill. The bed strips and angles are polished stainless steel. the bed chains are also stainless steel as are the bed bolts The brakes on the truck has been replaced and the truck drives and stops great. I used the original S10 fuel tank and wiring harness. The truck is a lot of fun to drive and is a real head turner everyone loves to see it coming down the road and folks will keep you hemmed up at the store or gas pump wanting to look at the truck.

My wife uplaoded a video of the truck click on the link to watch the truck running . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3IUCwkislg&feature=youtu.be

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
