These days you can't by much for this price. This is an original 1967 step side long box 4x4, 4spd truck. The engine is a 350 from a 1970 Chevy pickup.
The truck needs cab corners and cab mounts and rockers, it has some rust spots on the box fenders. it boasts many farm dings and a few dents mainly on the box. The truck was taken on trade for two trophy bear hides and imported in to Canada from Montana ranch country. It is an intact running, driving truck, it shifts a stops and starts with no problem, the four wheel drive system is operational The doors are quite solid with no sag or play, the door bottoms are original with no speaker cut outs. The bottoms of the doors are relatively sound. The cab needs attention as the rockers, mounts and corners show rust. The front clip is clean and straight. The inner fenders look good as does the firewall. The truck needs attention as follows: Cab mounts, corners and rockers Windshield Speedometer temperamental Taillight wiring. Engine leaking oil believed to be coming from the valve covers. Needs Provincial safety inspection for Canadian registration. The price is very reasonable and fair to the buyer and the seller. This truck would make a great project as it has not been molested, just used as a farm truck. Remember you are bidding on a 47 year old vehicle. It is very unique however it does require a restoration or weekend tinkering to make it a daily driver. Lots of potential here without breaking the bank account. Feel free to ask further questions, good luck. |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
