 1990 Chevrolet 4x4 shortbed stepside pickup with a 3" body lift..I bought this truck a few years back it had a lower miles motor installed from a utility company vehicle ( utility companies normally require regular maintenance) it is a 350ci fuel injected motor with an automatic transmission with four wheel drive. The motor, transmission. and 4x4 are in good shape. The body has had rocker panels and cab corners replaced before I got it. They used metal so they should last a good bit longer. The tailgate has rust and should be replaced. There is a good hitch installed. I used it to bring my 34' camper home from the river it handled it easily. The tires are 40-60 % and the truck rides like a regular pickup although it is 4 wheel drive. The windshield leaks in the upper right corner glass guy wanted to remove it to re-seal it and wanted $200 in case the glass broke. I thought that was a rip-off so I let her drip a bit...The issue I have, is that I can't fix is the heater and A/C controls they are vacuum operated and I can only get the heater to blow with a hot wire to the battery. (Maybe some chevy mechanic can figure it out). The gas tank leaks at anything over 1/2 a tank so I just put in 7-8 gallons at a time. ( probably needs replaced) I recently installed a new battery and wiper blades and popped the wheel caps back on. I have include tons of pictures please use the pics as part of the description. This is a neat old 4x4 Great for restoration, a mud truck or hunting vehicle. I have a modest reserve to protect my investment . Thanks for looking

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet 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.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
