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.

2023 Chicago Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: See all the new cars from the show

Thu, Feb 16 2023

The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out Â— spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
