I have redone the brakes with new wheel cylinders, hoses, drums shoes and hardware.the chasis is excellent with no rust or pits,new shocks and dual exhaust with thrush mufflers, sounds good. It has a 351W 2barrel that runs good with a 4speed on the floor I would put a 4barrel with intake if I was keeping. Each and every panel has been off the truck stripped,epoxy primed and refinished with all premium PPG products.The interior has a new rubber mat, reupholstered seat dash pad,instrument bezel and more. The hard stuff has all been done and most project trucks still need paint. This one you can immediately start to enjoy.It needs a headliner, some hood side emblems ( I have the originals) install antenna(included)needs heater cable - all just minor things that can be tinkered with a little at a time. This has a clear VA title but the truck was originally from SC. Good Luck"

The pictures really say it all, this is a nice truck and the underside looks just as good. Every panel was removed stripped of the old original paint and redone with premium PPG products, Corrosion Resistant Zinc/ Epoxy primer, Urethane filler primer and the best Base Coat Clear Coat with three coats of clear. No corners were cut on the body work or paint work, I have three years of nights and weekends getting this project to where it is and it is now time to pass it on to someone to finish, drive and enjoy. All the things that need to be done are simple and can be accomplish by most that have only minimal mechanical ability. I have done all the hard stuff and most like this still need paint. This has been a labor of love and now I want to move on to my convertible that I have been sitting on for years. Good Luck Bidding. Low reserve. Call Chris with questions 315-725-7224

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.
