Mountain Home, Texas, United States

Notice, THIS ISN'T A SILVERADO, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIST IT OTHERWISE. NOW FOR THE TRUCK. ........................   


THIS TRUCK STARTED LIFE AS A PTO WRECKER AT A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM.    I TOOK IT ON TRADE,  WITH ALL THE WRECKER PARTS WORKING & USED IT QUITE A BIT.  FINALLY I GOT ALL MY STUFF MOVED AROUND & IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE TRUCK WOULD BE MUCH MORE USEFUL TO ME AS A PICKUP.  I REMOVED THE WRECKER UNIT AND ELIMINATED THE 18" SPLIT RIM WHEELS, IN FAVOR OF THE 16" WHEELS THAT ARE IN IT.  TO DO THAT IT REQUIRED THE REAR END BE REPLACED WITH A LATER  MODEL, 1995 I THINK, IN ORDER FOR THE REAR WHEELS TO FIT OVER THE DRUM.  I STILL HAVE THE WRECKER PARTS, COMPLETE WITH THE DOLLYS, TO MOVE A VEHICLE IF IT WON'T ROLL ON ITS OWN.  THE NEW OWNER CAN HAVE ALL THAT TO GO WITH THE TRUCK IF YOU WANT IT.  OTHERWISE, I'LL SELL IT SEPARATELY.  

THE ENGINE IS A 283 V-8, AND SHOWS 70000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.  THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS (needle swings at first) BUT THE ODOMETER QUIT WORKING SOON AFTER IT WENT TO THE OWNER WHO PRECEDED ME.  THAT OWNER HAD A BODY SHOP IN ALBUQUERQUE, AND USED IT A FEW YEARS AFTER HAVING BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR PONTIAC DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT SERVED SINCE IT WAS NEW.  

AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, AND DID ALL THE STUFF WE DO, LIKE PLUGGS, POINTS, CONDENSER, ROTAR ETC, IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM.  THE LATER MODEL DIFFERENTIAL, 16" WHEELS & RADIAL TIRES CAUSES IT TO CRUSE AT 60 TO 65 VERY COMFORTABLY.  THE GRANNY LOW GEAR IS OCCASIONALLY USEFUL, BUT MOSTLY I SKIP LOW GEAR.  THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  ITS OLD.  OH YES, I REPLACED THE GENERATOR WITH AN ALTERNATOR.  THIS IS PRETTY ORIGINAL BECAUSE THE ENGINE STILL HAS THE OIL BATH AIR FILTER, AND THE CARTRIDGE TYPE OIL FILTER.  I ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO CAR QUEST TO GET MY OIL FILTER BEFORE I GET THE OIL CHANGED.  

THE BED IS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE.  INSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE 9 1/2 long, and 5 1/2 FEET WIDE, WITH THE WHEEL WELLS INSIDE & OUTSIDE.  I REMOVED 5 LEAF SPRINGS FROM EACH SIDE AND THERES STILL 5 ON EACH SIDE.  SO FAR, IVE NEVER OVER LOADED IT SINCE I REMOVED THE SPRINGS.  I WAS AFRAID THE WHEELS WOULD RUB, AS CAN BE SEEN IN A PICTURE, BUT SO FAR THEY'VE NEVER RUBBED.  THE OLD BED WAS ROTTED OUT SO I REPLACED IT WITH TREATED 2X6.  

THE BODY ON THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SOME BONDO REPAIRS, BUT I ONLY FOUND ONE PLACE.  THE BODY WAS PAINTED AT LEAST ONCE, AND I'd CONSIDER THIS A PRETTY STRAIT BODY, AS THEY GO.  THE ONLY RUST THROUGH IS A SMALL HOLE JUST INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS FLOOR WHERE WET FEET TRACKED WATER & SNOW IN. 

ONE THING IS CERTAIN WITH THIS TRUCK.  IT TURNS HEADS.   EVEN THE GUYS WHO KNOW TRUCKS, WANTS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK.  

THIS TRUCK IS LISTED LOCALLY & THE AUCTION IS SUBJECT TO BEING TERMINATED AT ANY TIME.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
