I AM THE 3RD OWNER. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO TO DRIVE AND ENJOY. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE COSMETIC WORK TO THE TRUCK, BEING MINDFUL OF ORIGINALITY. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO FULL MECHANICAL ORIGINALITY BY INSTALLING THE 292 WITH ORIGINAL EXHAUST, BUT SINCE THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES WELL, I WILL LEAVE THE MECHANICAL RESTORTAION UP TO THE PERSON WHO BUYS IT. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE IN THE TRUCK WAS A 292 6 CYLINDER, WHICH THE FIRST OWNER REPLACED WITH THE 350. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO INSTALL A CORRECT 292 6 CYLINDER IN THE TRUCK, WHICH I DO HAVE, BUT THE 350 RAN EXTREMELY WELL, SO I WILL LEAVE THAT DECISION UP TO THE NEW OWNER.
THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. IT HAS THE FACTORY 4:56 REAR END, SO TOP SPEED IS AROUND 55-60 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH, CLUTCH IS GOOD, THE TRANSFER CASE IS QUIET AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS JUST AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY LOCKOUTS AND HUBS.
I HAVE REPLACED THE INNER AND OUTER ROCKER PANELS WITH NEW, AND REPAIRED ONE CAB CORNERS WITH NEW SHEET METAL. CAB FLOORS WERE SOLID. I REPAIRED THE CAB MOUNTS, AND INSTALLED NEW CAB PERCHES AND BUSHINGS. THE TRUCK IS VERY SOLID. FENDERS, AND BOX WERE COMPLETELY RUST FREE. I HAD THE BODY WORK DONE PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED WITH FACTORY ORIGINAL COLOR 507 LIGHT BLUE SINGLE STAGE JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY. THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT VERY GOOD. THE DRIVER DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES FINE, BUT WILL NEED ADJUSTMENT AS IT SCRAPES ON THE ROCKER PANEL, I HAVE SHOWN PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE THIS. THE TRUCK HAS CUSTOM CAB TRIM WITH ALL CHROME INTACT, CAB TRIM SAILS, DELUXE HEATER AND FULL GUAGES. I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW BED WOOD KIT FROM CLASSIC PARTS, WITH NEW STRIPS AND HARDWARE. I HAVE INVESTED OVER 8K IN THIS TRUCK IN REPLACEMENT PANELS, PAINT WORK BED WOOD KIT, AND LABOR.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
Chevrolet To Oversee Restoring Sinkhole Corvettes
Fri, Feb 14 2014What Mother Earth devoured, Chevrolet plans to resurrect. The carmaker said Thursday it will oversee restoration of the classic cars swallowed by a huge sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will manage the painstaking work to repair the eight prize vehicles, the automaker said Thursday. The cars were consumed when the earth opened up early Wednesday beneath a display area when the museum in Bowling Green, Ky., was closed. No injuries were reported. The museum was open Thursday except for the area where the sinkhole occurred. Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, said the damaged vehicles rank as "some of the most significant in automotive history." "There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," he said, referring to one of the damaged cars. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them." Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum's domed section. "We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration." Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran said some of the cars look to be in good shape, while others are buried in rubble. "It will likely be several weeks until we can get the cars out and assessed," he said. The GM Design team has helped restore other historic cars, but the Corvette project looks to be its biggest, he said. "These Corvettes are part of our history, and they want them restored properly," Strode said. "We're thrilled they're doing this." The cars looked like toys as they plunged into the hole, piled in a heap amid dirt and concrete fragments. The museum owns six of the cars while two - a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil - are on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Pictures of the sinkhole showed a collapsed section of floor with multiple cars visible inside the hole.
