This is a restored with love 1978 classic chevy stepside that I call BUCK THE TRUCK after a deer theme. I decided a year ago I wanted a daily driver real truck. I had 2 new vehicles that broke down for reasons as little as the gas cap wasn't tight. So I decided to build my own reliable classic. I started a search for a perfect chassis. I found and had shipped to me a great K-10 it has a no frills 350 that when I purchased last year the motor had been rebuilt with 1000 miles on it and I haven't put more than a hundred since so you'll get a engine that will start every time and has such a wonderful sound as it runs. So no need to do any engine work. It has a cast iron transfer case so again the most desirable durable case. Next look at the number of springs on the rear end and you'll understand the extra hauling ability. So I started with a wonderful truck. I then took the truck completely apart and repaired any areas of rust. Not with bondo I replaced a few rust areas with new metal. So now I knew I wouldn't need to worry about rust for years. Then I primed and painted the truck with a single stage paint this is not a showroom paint job it has some orange peal a bit and a few scratches that I did oops but I wanted a daily driver. I spent a fortune as you can see with the camo accents. I also stripped the inside it had no rust problems there but I had to see before I put new carpet in it. The seat needed some help so I put in a slider on the driver side and some new springs then had it professionally covered with a mix between a tan vinyl and the center was made of actual tanned cow hide the back and sides of the seats were done in camo. The inside of the cab was painted black. The rubber was all replaced in the windows but the rear glass leaks a little so it needs to be replaced or repaired. I may even do that before it sells if I get to it The door panels were custom built with 2 sets of new speakers and the armrest are made of real oak hardwood. The dash was covered in real tanned cowhide. So fading shouldn't be a problem as my wife informed me she has never seen a faded cow lol. But for a modern touch I mounted a brand new gps built into the dash. With the theme of deer I custom made a 4wheel shifter made from the antler base of a real deer. The gas gauge doesn't work and the heater fan has been put on a toggle switch to fix the fan switch. The tires are a mixed set of 33-12.5-15. There is some dry rot on the tires but they hold air and drive fine. They are an all terrain tire that I had plans on replacing with mud terrains. The front brush guard has 2 brand new fog light that are toggled inside. The rims are in pretty good shape the pics won't due them justice cause I've never cleaned them lol. The tailgate is the old style chain with new chains. Everything works perfect with the tailgate. The bed was completely redone with new hardwood and what a great look it is. The deer print on the cab wall of the bed has two bed lights that shine in the bed with the dome light. It has a heavy tow hitch with a drop down with ball and also pictures shows the antler hitch cover that comes with it. The bed sides where completely painted but I decided the Crome overlays looked too good to not add. I have way more money and labor than I'll ever see but money is tight and I have to pay some bills so I can start a new project. But I won't give it away. So if your wanting a real truck one that starts and runs great and can be worked on with ease this is the truck for you. You could always start from scratch but you will be surprised how much money and time it takes and realize how cool it is that this one is ready to drive without doing a thing. It just passed a Missouri inspection. The winning bidder will need to pay a 500 dollar non refundable deposit within 24 hours of the auctions end and the balance within 5 days. I won't ship so pick up her or winning bidder will have to have a curb side shipper to Sullivan Missouri. I've had several shipped that and they all went great. Good luck also duel tanks with duel exhaust

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles
Tue, May 17 2016Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
