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

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts

Fri, Jan 27 2017

The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
