Year:1962 Mileage:2000
Location:

Caldwell, Idaho, United States

Caldwell, Idaho, United States

Started Frame-Off Restoration all pieces have been blasted treated or patched up. This is my unique 62' Truck I've been working on it the past 5 years. I love this truck, but with my growing family, I'd like to re-invest into something that can fit my wife and 3 boys. 

Gutters removed and smoothed out. Custom Tailgate discreet latches, Tear drop rear brake lights installed on fenders. capped off holes to the bed rails. Lowered with torsion bars. 

Awesome '62 Truck true big back window truck. The 350 has been rebuilt bored .30 over and all engine parts are new except for the intake and heads. Intake is a single plane eldebrock torker and heads are from a late 60's corvette double camel humps. The inner fenders have been upgraded to new Chrome inner fenders that accent the engine beautifully. These trucks have gutters, but I've removed mine to have a smooth custom look and it looks sharp. hood seams have been welded and smoothed out to appear like the hood was one piece. World Class 5 speed transmission from IROC Z28 Camaro. All paint is from House of Colors. Mixed Tangerine orange with a slick brown. Nice bright orange in the sun, outstanding orange/brown in the shade. 

This is still in project mode and requires some small attention. Bed area not complete (all rails there), small over spray on driver door (Very Minor), I drive this truck frequently so there are signs of use (I did not want to spend all this money only for it to sit in a garage), No interior Carpet, minor wiring issues, and transmission pedal is stiff (needs Booster, had one an old booster before I rebuilt the motor, but I didn't like the look so I just didn't use it), everything very fixable. Invested almost 20k

I have to reduce the size of some photos before I can post a couple others, but I'll try and load a couple more later. I can send more upon request too. They will just be larger files.

Sale will include Truck and will include a front suspension disc brakes setup from a 1979 C10 1/2 ton truck. These are essentially universal so if you want disc brakes you can choose to swap when you want.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone 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.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
