This is a 1976 Chevy Custom Deluxe, Short Wheel Base, V8 350, automatic with air conditioning. I am the second owner. I bought this from the original owner close to 3 years ago. When I bought it, it had sat for a few years. So, a lot of stuff had to be replaced. I installed new brake wheel cylinders, new brake booster, new carburetor, all new hoses and belts and radiator. All of the A/C parts where replaced. The interior is all stock except I had a new seat cover put on and original style carpet put in. It came with plain jane wheels and hub caps and I found a nice set of rally wheels and had them powdercoated and installed on the truck with new tires. The tires probably have about 5,000 miles on them. This has been a great truck that I have used weekly for the last 2 1/2 years. It has been a great truck but its time to move on to other things. If you are looking for a great unmolested original truck, this is it. One of the nicest things about this truck is that it is almost completely rust free. You can see that it has some patina surface rust and just a few bubbles of rust here and there, but it is uncommonly unrusty. If you wanted to finish restoring it, you wouldnt have to replace rocker panels and fenders like you would have to with most trucks of this year. The only things I know of that arent working are the temp gauge and the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge worked till this week!! Im pretty sure a temp sending unit would fix the temp gauge and a fuel sending unit would fix the other. Also, I had an updated steering wheel put on since the original one was cracked and gummy feeling and the guy that installed it for me got the wrong mounting kit so the steering wheel is one half a turn off. He ran out of time that day to get another one and I just never made it back to get the right adapter put on it so the new steering wheel would line up right. Thats it. The pictures speak for themselves. I just had it detailed and the original paint shows pretty good but it really needs a repaint. You can see that it has some generic trim down the side and half of it was peeling off so I just took it all off. The motor is the original motor and is untouched. It will puff a little smoke when it first starts. I would imagine the valve seals are dry. It runs great and doesnt burn any oil to speak of. Ive kept the oil changed on a regular basis. If you know about these good ol chevy 350 motors, it will probably run forever just like it is, but if you are a perfectionist, you may want to freshen the motor up. It does start and run just fine like it is and I would drive it anywhere just the way it is.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
