Condition: Exceptional condition for a vehicle which I would consider as being "unrestored". The paint is original, and the truck is almost entirely stock.

Features: Dealer installed A/C and cruise control. All wheel drive. Rare 400ci small block. Freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 Transmission with shift correction.

History: For sale is this 1979 Chevy K10 Silverado with a professionally rebuilt turbo 350 transmission. The chassis has 152k and the 400c.i. small block was rebuilt by the first owner.

Originally purchased in Glenns Ferry from Shrum Motors in 1979, this truck still shows its shine from its freshly detailed single-stage lacquer paintjob.

My father bought this truck from the original owner in Mountain Home, and my father drove it for roughly a decade here in rural Southern Idaho. At some point the transmission gave out so there it sat for about three years before I got ahold of it. I originally swapped out the transmission for a second-hand purchase, and from there I drove the truck for about a year. In that time I installed a new carburetor kit, I adjusted the hydraulic lifters, checked the timing, and installed new spark plugs with the correct gap. Since the carburetor kit, this truck has always started immediately so long as it's driven daily. The automatic choke operates perfectly, giving this truck immediate cold starts, high idle warm-up, and a comfortably low warm idle.

Within the last hundred miles I have pulled the second-hand transmission and installed a professionally rebuilt transmission with shift correction from Tim Cabral, an ASE Certified Transmission Builder. The shift is firm, and the shift points are adjusted perfectly for the throttle and vacuum environment. Check out this video:

Items which currently do not work:

-The horns have been disconnected because they stay on
-The A/C probably needs recharged, I have never installed a belt
-The climate control leaves the fan speed on low, but the truck heats up nicely

I am selling the truck because I have an SUV and a highway car. As much as I love this truck, I need to cut back on personal projects. I am keen someone can take this project to the next level. I have brought the paint back to good condition, and overall the truck details nicely. All of the chrome is in exceptional condition, and although the paint has some dings and scratches, it polishes like nothing I have ever owned. The softness of the lacquer paint makes scratches, stains and imperfections a matter of swirl remover.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications. Read more at Green Car Reports. LG Chem has broken ground on its EV battery plant in Nanjing, China. The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.
