Up for auction : 1957 chevy 4x4 truck. The truck is mounted on a 1979 GMC Jimmy chassis, All original running gear with the exception of a newer Mr.Good Wrench crate motor (350 ). The cab and bed were mounted properly with new pro-comp body mounts. The TH 350 was professionally rebuild about 2 hundred miles ago. New dual exhaust, new rear driveshaft, new E-Z wiring kit, new turn/brake lights, new parking lights, seat has been recovered, not a great job but is comfortable. A used caddy telescopic/tilt column, could use a new steering wheel , but is totally useable at this time.... New aluminum manifold and new 650 carb with electric choke. Starts on the first hit and runs down the road straight.. The tires have lots of tread but are badly weather checked, 35" tires will fit nicely and be even more of a compliment to this historic icon.... All lights works, All new tinted glass ( not that cheap film ) door weatherstripping included but not installed at this time.. (doors rattle on dirt roads ) Horn and odometer and gauges ARE NOT HOOKED UP YET, although the high beam indicator and turn signals are functional.
I want to stress this truck was not built to be a SHOW truck, not that it couldn't be, It does have some minor rust through , but in my opinion , easy fixes. The truck looks better at 50' feet then up close, but gets a lot of thumbs up and waves. I would drive this 57 anywhere if it had tunes and the door weather stripping installed.... I have placed the reserve low enough that that I feel the new owner can justify a couple of rear fenders , install the new bed wood and stainless steel strips ( i will provide) and have it painted and still be way under market value...
Chasiss : all 1979 running gear, dana 44 front axle, 12 bolt rear end, 203 transfer case, TH 350 transmission, 6 lug, rear gas tank. A 4" rancho lift kit was install by the Jimmy owner.
Feel free to call if you have sincere interest in this truck, Ray @ 970-309-4526, this truck is in Colorado.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
