Here is a nice example of a 1985 Chevrolet 1/2 ton Short Wide, and it started as a very honest NO RUST truck, so there isnt any patch work done on the Rockers or Cab Corners. This truck drives great, and is very very tight, with no surprises. There is about 8k on the New 350 Engine and New Turbo 350 Transmission, and the motor is equipped with Holley Carb and Intake, along with all new accessories. The AC/Heat is All New, and this includes Compressor, Hoses/Lines, Evaporator Core, Heater Core, ect, so all is good there. The Exhaust system is also new from one end to the other, so this truck basically needs nothing, and is ready for daily use.
The Paint Job is very nice, and it is painted back to its Original Red, so there isnt any jambing or chipping issues. The Paint is completely Wet Sanded and Buffed, so it is very deep and a Mirror Finish, which gives the truck an extra clean appearance. It has been driven since painted less than a year ago, but there are only a few really small chips, so the paint still looks brand new. The truck is Lowered 2in in the front, and 4in in the rear, really sits nice on the Original Rally wheels. The Lowering did not affect the driving of the truck in anyway, but it looks so much better.
I chose not to put the stick on side moulding back on the truck, and if that is what you want, you can add it back on at any time. The truck is basically original at this point, all the way down to the uncut dash for a radio, and with the exception of the truck being lowered. The interior is very clean, and it still has the original carpet, so there might be a faded spot here or there, but it isnt noticable at all. The Power windows work, along with all the interior light and instrument cluster, so the interior is completely functional and very clean.
There arent too many of these trucks that hasnt been abused and patched up, so if you are looking for this style Short Bed, you will have a hard time finding a better example for the money.. This truck comes with a bunch of recipts, and it also couldnt be built for the asking price, so rather than take the time to find a decent example to build, you can save some serious money and time with this purchase.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have, and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.. If you need any additional pics or information, just ask, and I will get them for you asap. There is nothing to hide on this truck, so just let me know if there is anything you might need to make in informed decision.. I have also included a YouTube walk around video link below, so do take a look at that also. I have a 100 percent rating on my Classic Car sales, along with some nice feedback after delivery, because I do my best to be as honest as possible.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
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.
