Clean And Original 1960 Chevy 1/2 Ton 4x4 Longbed on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
|
I have owned this truck as part of my collection for just shy of two years. Originally purchased for a full frame off restoration, my interests have changed a bit. Here a few details:
1960 Chevrolet 1/2 ton 235 cubic inch inline 6 4 speed manual transmission divorced 2 speed transfer case Selectro manual hubs The body is in good condition. It has previous amateur body and paint work. The red/white color scheme appears to be original, but the truck has been repainted. The frame and body are solid and mostly rust-free. The original wood bed is intact and useable. Previous owner claimed it to be a native Colorado truck with 47,000 original miles. Based on overall condition, I believe it... but it's not verifiable. The following work has been completed: NOS sweeper seals on front axle All synthetic fluids including differentials, transfer case, transmission and engine New brake shoes and drums in all positions Front hub and wheel bearing service Diagnosis and repair of various electrical shorts Cleaning and re-building of speedometer (odometer reset to 00,000) Adjustment of hydraulic clutch (may need a new slave in the future) There are still many things that she needs to be perfect. As it stands now, it is a great, unmolested original truck you can use and enjoy without hesitation. It would make an excellent candidate for a full restoration. I am happy to discuss any details. It is running and driving... registered and insured. It spends its life in indoor storage. Please feel free to contact for more information. I am entertaining fair, reasonable and realistic offers. For reference, the insured value of the truck is $15,000. Test drives are welcome as long as the weather is nice, the roads are dry and you arrive with a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. No warranties of any kind are expressed or implied. Please ask questions and be comfortable with this truck before you bid. The truck is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time, for any reason.

There is good power to the circuit and the switch is working. It is either the resistor or the motor itself. - In the process of working on that issue, I broke one the temperature control cable. - The cab interior light is intact, but has not been rewired to the headlight switch. - The oil pressure sending unit is inoperative. I have checked and replaced all bulbs in the cluster. I have a new sending unit somewhere... - The parking brake does not work. - I do not have the driver's side interior arm rest. - I have two NOS GM key blanks to go with the truck. - I have a full set of factory service manuals and the original owners manual. - The truck will include spare parts, including an extra hood (not the correct 60-61, unfortunately), tailgate, and rear wheel wells. - I have a spare wheel, but no tire to go with it. - I will include the 1960 Colorado Farm Truck plates. The truck has been in storage all winter. As I find things I have forgotten to mention, I will add them here. I want to make sure the new owner knows everything there is to know about the old gal, and is happy. On Apr-29-14 at 16:19:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I uploaded some additional pictures of the truck, including some of the frame and undercarriage. Hopefully they will help illustrate the overall condition of the truck. Tires have good tread remaining. On Apr-30-14 at 12:41:48 PDT, seller added the following information: Some information about the tires and wheels: I believe that the wheels are original. I have never had the tires dis-mounted to check the stampings. I checked the spare wheel and could not find any manufacturer stamping. By appearance and style, they appear correct. The wheel size is 15". The tires are Power King Premium Traction; 7.00-15LT Tubeless tires; Load Range C. The DOT number on passenger steer tire is: PKNV CNLT 364. My guess is that they were manufactured the 36th week of 1994... But with the old date coding, it is hard to tell. They are in very good shape with no obvious signs of dry rotting. |

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
