OK guys here it is - the perfect cheap "Hot Rod" truck body to set your hot rod engine and tranny into - this truck was running 75 miles an hour up and down the freeway until about a year ago, until the owner decided to remove the engine and trans to use in something else - it is 100% complete and driveable in every way except there is no actual engine or trans - Driveshaft is even still there. So if you want a cool pretty solid old truck for cheap to run around in, this one can be ready to roll for you in a weekend if you have a donor engine in something you can use in it. It is set up for headers so if you drop in a V8 w/ headers you should not need to do any exhaust work. The "23" numbers on the fenders are just simple stick-on decals intended to promote the trucks' 23" tall chrome rims it used to have - you know today's kids and their ridiculously big wheels - the stickers will peel right off :) 


Body is actually pretty damn nice for this price range - cab floor as carpet in it, but I looked up from the bottom and it looks like it needs inner rockers and outer cab floor work to be perfect, but the front fenders, inner fenders, doors, hood, cab roof, bed, EVERYTHING ELSE is real solid - the front fenders have some bubbling in the lower sections (see pics) and the hood has some bubbling etc under the park lights, but no rot to speak of anywhere - the door bottoms have no holes in them on the actual bottoms, just a little on the inner corners but its not bad - just some pinholes. The bed is very nice and there was never any bondo or repairs to the fenders or steps - they really are as nice and solid as they look! Inside of the bed is original red paint w/ most of the original wood still in it. Tailgate is dented but solid as a rock. Amazing condition of the inside and outside roof - great shape w/ beautiful drip rails. Cab corners are solid on both sides. Straight original grille w/ working headlights, wiring in tact etc, but the radio hole is widened for a CD player. Like I said - for the money, this is a perfect little short bed pickup you can drop your dream engine into and drive it like crazy this Summer....will be a great Hot Rod! 

Additional photos are available - I took about 34 of them but Ebay will not let me put the link to them on here so you will have to request them I guess....

Delivery can be arranged for a fee to nearby states. The truck can sit here for as many weeks or months as it takes for you to come get it, but it must be paid in full within 10 days of this auctions' end regardless of when you are coming to get it. Nice safe no-fee storage if you want to come get it in warmer weather or whatever. Questions? CALL STEVE 256-486-1988

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
