Up for sale is my 1961 Chevrolet Apache 20 (3/4 ton) BIG WINDOW Custom Cab pickup. It is a very hard to find model just in being a 1961 Custom Cab, but is even rarer that it came as you see it with the highly sought after stainless steel cab and body mouldings. It has all of its original wood bed floor and is undented inside the bed because it had a camper shell on it all its life. The bed is nice overall and the tailgate is perfect and undented. It has the original #'s matching 235 straight 6 cylinder engine coupled to its original 3 speed manual transmission that came w/ the bigger optional 11" clutch. It has a new clutch, new brakes all around, new starter, new tune-up parts (coil, points, thermostat etc) new carbeurator and it runs like a sewing machine. It only has 56K actual miles on it, and was kept in a pole barn all its life and just driven locally. However, the weather beat at the passenger side because of how it was always parked, so the pass side sheetmetal is quite a bit rustier than the drivers side but I have a replacement passenger side front fender, passenger door and although not really needed, I even have a spare passenger side bedside or a whole super nice longbed itself if someone wants these at extra cost to help restore it. I also have a nearly perfect solid 60-61 bubble hood someone could buy to use in the restoration. 


It has all the expected rusty areas like the usual rust holes they all get along the door jamb sill plate where the doors shuts and a few in the corners of the floorpan where the kick panel meets the floor board but does not look to need pans. I think all can be fixed with the usual sheetmetal patching required on most 60's trucks. Will need outer cab floor work and probably rockers and cab corners as expected. The rear window is cracked badly but I have a replacement that goes with the truck. Door bottom on drivers door needs typical welding work, and pass side door needs full replacement. Drivers front fender is decent and workable, but not the pass side - it needs replaced. The grill support and radiator supports need work or replacement. Like I said, I have all the stuff you need to repair this truck if you want to make a deal to acquire the truck and the parts we can certainly toss some ideas around - I will work with you on this. Call me at 256-486-1988

Overall, its a great driver and "patina truck" in that it sports 100% of its original Red and White paint and the kick panel tag reflects the correct rare red and white factory paint and trim codes. The SUPER RARE stainless trim is all pretty much in tact minus the pass side door piece and some of it will need dings and dents removed if you restore it for show. Everything on this truck works I think except the gas guage, and the temp guage. The the radio hole is mildly and neatly cut and needs to be fixed. I have a patch panel for the radio hole. I was driving this truck pretty often last year and it has never smoked, or tried to not run - very dependable engine and total drivetrain. The 3 speed column has been known to hang up occasionally going into 2nd if you are not easy enough with it, but that could be because I am not too good at driving a manual trans truck. All my others are automatics. 

Call Steve at 256-486-1988 to ask questions - Come see and drive it in Joppa AL 35087 (a few miles outside Arab AL 35016).

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
