The body has rust in all the normal/usual places. They are so commonly rusted in these places that LMC (and tons of other places) make all the patch panels for them, and they're all really cheap. (cab corners, rockers, lower fender pieces, etc.) pretty much any rust spot you have there is a cut and weld patch for it.
I included as many pix as I could. If you want more pix just ask and I'll send you more.
Usually everyone wants to pull the straight 6 and put a V8 in but I would just hate to do that to this truck because the straight 6 in it run so great! Just a flick of the key and it starts right up and sounds great.
All the running gear is original. All the steering and suspension parts are tight and straight. Frame is perfectly straight.
The engine is very clean, only has a minor rear main seal leak, no where else. (just put a new water pump on)
Gas tank has been removed, cleaned and sealed. Has a new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, and filter.
Trans shift nicely no noises, clutch is good, rear end sounds good, no play in the pinion, nice clean gear oil, no bearing noise. Driveline u-joints and carrier bearing are in nice shape.
Has no power steering or power brakes as original. That is something I think I'd do if I was to keep it. Disc brake conversion and power steering.
Dash is not cut up although a previous owner moved the ignition key into one of the radio holes? Don't know why. There are some small screw holes in the dash, easy fix.
The driver's door is a bit rough. (see pix) Fixable but I think it would be more advantageous to just replace it. Passenger door is in really good, tight condition...closes nice and lines up great.
The tailgate is pretty much toast, dented pretty badly. $168 for a new one. Or another idea is to replace the whole bed with a 90s Chevy bed or anything else that has a similar body-line. Just need to take some measurements and go look around you local Pick & Pull/Pull & Save wrecking yard.
This is a project truck. But it is a perfect project for a high schooler to learn to do some body work, maybe put his newly learned welding skills to the test. All the while getting to drive it because it runs so well.
There is no reserve, high bid get the truck.
I bought it to do a custom-mod to it, but I decided I better finish my 23 Street Rod and 68 Firebird projects first. Kinda need the room in the shop for them so the truck has to go.
Buyer is responsible for picking up or transporting the truck. It is driveable if you want to drive it home. Although I don't know if I'd trust the current tires on a long trip. Fronts are pretty old and weather checked. rears are two different sizes. Might need to throw a decent used set on to drive any real distance.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting? Vote in our poll below, then feel free to leave a few lines in Comments.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
