A good driving collectible. It runs great and I can send you video if you request - only serious requests please.
I bought this truck about 5 years ago in Missouri and it's obvious underneath that this truck has probably always been driven it's whole life as it should be. It has the trailing arm suspension and rides very nice and smooth with just a little float, if you know what I mean? The body is in the condition indicated by the numerous photos. I took them from everywhere possible to give you an accurate impression of the condition. To me, it is a 30 footer, for those not familiar, it looks great from 30 feet, however up close, you will see signs of use. The paint is obviously not factory paint and whoever did it may not have had a lot of experience. I only suggest this because it is swirly in a couple of places, has spider cracking in places and some of the spider cracks have raised the paint and then there is rust underneath some of them. I can honestly say in the 5 years I've owned it, having driven it only around 500 miles, the condition of the paint hasn't changed much if at all.
It uses about 1/4 quart of oil per tank of gas, and the gasket between the transmission and output shaft housing is leaking transmission fluid. I add about a quart or two every year. The power steering fluid leaks and I can't nail that one down to a specific part.
Please bid with confidence that you could fly here and drive it home, keeping an eye on the fluids, and spending a small fortune for gas. I've heard these get around 10 mpg, but then you're not buying it for that.
It's pretty much stock except for the steering wheel, tack and stereo. It has the factory a/c compressor and condenser still in place, I believe the whole system is in it. I will have a panel for the glove box door before the end of the auction so ignore it in the pics. Its a nice truck to drive and you'll get the looks.
Not very visible in the pics so I'm pointing out that there are some rust bubbles on the wheel wells, but under the hood it's relatively clean. The wheels have some rust spots, but I haven't tried chrome polish on them yet and will update you if you ask about if it works. Best guess would be a few rust spots on each wheel will be through the plating. Also, the passenger door button on the outside fell into the door and I haven't and won't have time to fix it. Look at LMC Trucks website or elsewhere, restoration parts for these are readily available.
The auction is no reserve so bid to win and you will. The truck must be picked up by July 10th, or between Aug 10-14th. We are moving which is why I'm selling, no storage where I'm going. Please check shipping options.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.
