This truck was custom ordered from the factory in 1977 and delivered in July of 1978. The former owner bought it from the original owner ten years ago, had it repainted four years ago, had the transmission and engine completely rebuilt 3 years ago, and was having the interior redone when the man working on it passed away. The engine does need some cleaning. It is still "Corporate Blue". The paint is closer to factory than most factory paint jobs, and I have all the original trim excluding one of the interior Silverado Custom door bezels. The former owner had to leave after the rebuilt, and it wound up sitting for two years with brand new tires and less than 100 miles on the rebuilt. The former owner put a Tomco remanned Rochester equipped Quadrajet Carburetor. It has gotten a brand new starter, a new Wix Fuel Filter and air filter and a brand new Airtex (by Federal Mogul) fuel pump. The only aftermarket modifications the former owner made include a new hood, a Rhino-Liner bed liner, a billet aluminum grill, a GM approved heavier duty tailgate, bucket seats, chrome bed caps, beauty rings and a red and black bowtie hold down on the brether.
The cons are that the interior never got finished, the former owner kept all but one piece of the trim, which means it needs a headliner and carpet. It needs driven. The hood needs to be reinforced on the driver side and the paint has a few minor scratches. No rust. The pick-up was always driven in Arkansas. The A/C is not installed, but is in the cabin.
The truck needs some TLC and above described interior parts need to be installed.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
