This is a very nice, original pickup. It has a 350 V8,3-speed automatic, with front disc brakes. It still wears its original paint, but has been touched up in spots. The right front fender does have a small dent close to the front bumper. Very small and hardly noticed. Both box sides have some concave dents where the back bumper has touched up against the body(see pics). It appears that this truck has never been wrecked. The only rust I can find in the whole truck is an area on the drivers floor board, and drivers front lower fender(otherwise is mostly surface spots that are very minor). I have included detailed pictures of these areas. This truck is very straight. It has a decent woodbed floor considering the age. Other than the drivers side floor being rusted, the rest is very solid. The dash pad is cracked. The seat will need to be recovered. The windshield is cracked on the passenger side(see pics). The lights work decent with the exception of bad ground for taillights(work off and on), no turnsignals, as the drivers front turn signal is not installed, but do have in the cab.
I got this truck from an older gentleman who quit driving it 8 years ago on a farm. The truck had been in his family since new I was told. Between being in the family, it had been passed around to 3 people(whether the title had been re-registered, I dont know). He left the truck sitting and kept it running, as he would start it at least once a month. Since I have owned the truck, I have put a battery in it, changed the oil/oil filter/trans fluid, and made sure the other fluids were clean. I also have put new plugs, and a newer set of plug wires, air filter, header/mainfold gaskets, and has seem to run and drive good. I also have bled the brakes, and put a set of used tires on and had them balanced. I believe this to be the original drive train with the exception of headers and air cleaner. It runs smooth with no ticking or knocks. This appears to be an all-original truck that hasn't been tampered with by a bunch of different owners. The wheels are clean with original centers and beauty rings with the exception of one ring missing. The mirrors are the original ones that came on the truck(however have been painted white over chrome, but have peeled).
If you're looking for a truck to restore/customize or have as a daily driver, this is probably going to be one of the straightest bodies you'll find. I have a very low reserve on this truck. This truck title (NE title) is clear/clean and in my possession. Any interested buyer is welcome to come see the truck prior to auction end, and will also make a bill of sale in the buyer's favor. I am not offering shipping on the item, and am offering this as local pick-up only. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours of auction end, and the rest will be discussed with the buyer when auction ends. If you have any questions, please contact me through 'ask a question' at the top of this page. I will give out my # to anyone who asks for it. I have excellent feedback, so please bid with confidence.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
