I have owned this truck as part of my collection for just shy of two years. Originally purchased for a full frame off restoration, my interests have changed a bit. Here a few details:

1960 Chevrolet 1/2 ton
235 cubic inch inline 6
4 speed manual transmission
divorced 2 speed transfer case
Selectro manual hubs

The body is in good condition. It has previous amateur body and paint work. The red/white color scheme appears to be original, but the truck has been repainted. The frame and body are solid and mostly rust-free. The original wood bed is intact and useable. Previous owner claimed it to be a native Colorado truck with 47,000 original miles. Based on overall condition, I believe it... but it's not verifiable.

The following work has been completed:
NOS sweeper seals on front axle
All synthetic fluids including differentials, transfer case, transmission and engine
New brake shoes and drums in all positions
Front hub and wheel bearing service
Diagnosis and repair of various electrical shorts
Cleaning and re-building of speedometer (odometer reset to 00,000)
Adjustment of hydraulic clutch (may need a new slave in the future)

There are still many things that she needs to be perfect. As it stands now, it is a great, unmolested original truck you can use and enjoy without hesitation. It would make an excellent candidate for a full restoration. I am happy to discuss any details. It is running and driving... registered and insured. It spends its life in indoor storage. Please feel free to contact  for more information. I am entertaining fair, reasonable and realistic offers. For reference, the insured value of the truck is $15,000. Test drives are welcome as long as the weather is nice, the roads are dry and you arrive with a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. No warranties of any kind are expressed or implied. Please ask questions and be comfortable with this truck before you bid. The truck is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time, for any reason.

A few items that I forgot to mention...


- The heater blower motor is not working. There is good power to the circuit and the switch is working. It is either the resistor or the motor itself. 
- In the process of working on that issue, I broke one the temperature control cable.
- The cab interior light is intact, but has not been rewired to the headlight switch.
- The oil pressure sending unit is inoperative. I have checked and replaced all bulbs in the cluster. I have a new sending unit somewhere...
- The parking brake does not work.
- I do not have the driver's side interior arm rest.
- I have two NOS GM key blanks to go with the truck.
- I have a full set of factory service manuals and the original owners manual.
- The truck will include spare parts, including an extra hood (not the correct 60-61, unfortunately), tailgate, and rear wheel wells.
- I have a spare wheel, but no tire to go with it.
- I will include the 1960 Colorado Farm Truck plates.

The truck has been in storage all winter. As I find things I have forgotten to mention, I will add them here. I want to make sure the new owner knows everything there is to know about the old gal, and is happy.

I uploaded some additional pictures of the truck, including some of the frame and undercarriage. Hopefully they will help illustrate the overall condition of the truck. Tires have good tread remaining.

Some information about the tires and wheels: 


I believe that the wheels are original. I have never had the tires dis-mounted to check the stampings. I checked the spare wheel and could not find any manufacturer stamping. By appearance and style, they appear correct. The wheel size is 15". The tires are Power King Premium Traction; 7.00-15LT Tubeless tires; Load Range C. The DOT number on passenger steer tire is: PKNV CNLT 364. My guess is that they were manufactured the 36th week of 1994... But with the old date coding, it is hard to tell. They are in very good shape with no obvious signs of dry rotting.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
