Up for bid today is a very easy project. This is a 1965 chevy stepside 2wd pickup truck. This truck runs and drives well, with a little more bodywork and paint, it could make a very nice piece. All of the rust was cut out of the cab and replaced with new metal. The floor pans have been molded and painted both underneath and inside. The original frame has been boxed and molded as well, and shot with a metallic silver base/clear. The truck rests on a set of 20” KMC wheels with good rubber. The wheels were powder coated silver at one time, and look good for a driver. Powered by a carbureted 307 small block chevy engine, coupled to a 3 speed manual transmission, the truck will run and drive good. It sounds nice with dual exhaust and glasspacks. The cab of the truck has already had all major repair done and was shot in a rootbeerish brown metallic color. The body has since gotten a few small dings and scratches. The bed is in red oxide primer, still needing some bodywork. The fiberglass bed cover was modified to fit the truck and looks awesome on it, although it could still use some bodywork as well. Hard wood and polished stainless look nice being used as the bed floor, along with harley Davidson brake lights out back. The inside of the cab is two-toned the rootbeerish color and silver metallic. A pair of bucket seats fit nicely, but could use covers to match. The truck does have a cd player in it with one speaker wired up for a little sound. Loads of new rubber keep the truck tight and dry. It does need an alignment and the tires balanced. A lot of time, hard work, and money has already been spent on this very nice driver. Loss of interest, bills, and other projects have lead to the point of selling this wonderful truck. It has a clear title ready to transfer. This truck is being sold as-is with no warranties or guarantees due to being used and the age. Please feel free to ask any questions prior to bidding. Any potential buyers are encouraged to come see the truck in person as well as test drive. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the ending of the auction, with the balance to be paid in full in cash upon pickup. I cannot/will not ship, that is the buyer’s responsibility. Thanks for looking!
THIS TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY ALSO, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME!
the title says exceeds mechanical limits, so I assume the mileage isn't correct

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
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.
