WELL, HERE IT IS, ONE OF THE COOLEST AND UNIQUE TRUCKS IVE EVER OWNED IS UP FOR SALE. ITS A 1971 CHEVY C10 2WD PICKUP THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REWORKED FROM THE GROUND UP. ILL START BY SAYING THIS TRUCK IS NO THROWN TOGETHER CHEAP BUILD. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN DONE RIGHT PROFESSIONALLY AND ONLY WITH HIGH END PARTS. I HAVE A THICK BINDER FULL OF EVERYTHING DONE TO THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE TRUCK WAS MATTE BLACK AND HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE 5.3 LS MOTOR AND 4L60E TRANSMISSION SWAP OUT OF A NEWER TAHOE, AS WELL AS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS USING CPP PARTS, AND THE FUEL TANK HAD BEEN MOVED TO THE REAR BELOW THE BED WITH A CUSTOM FILLER IN THE BED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD INSTALLED THE 69-70 GRILL, WHICH I LIKED, SO I KEPT IT ON. I QUICKLY MADE UP MY MIND THAT I WANTED TO GO WITH A PATINA PAINT JOB. IT TOOK ME WEEKS OF SANDING AND TWEAKING TO GET THE RIGHT LOOK I WAS GOING AFTER AND THEN HAD A PAINT SHOP SPRAY A COAT OF SATIN CLEAR OVER THE WHOLE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THEN I ADDED THE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS TO FINISH OFF THE "FACTORY" OLD LOOK I WAS GOING FOR. AFTER GETTING THE EXTERIOR ALL LINED OUT I MOVED TO THE INTERIOR. THE POWERED BUCKET SEATS WERE ALREADY IN THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT BUT THEY WERE A GRAY CLOTH, WHICH I DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR TO MUCH. SO, I HAD THEM REUPHOLSTERED IN BLACK LEATHER WITH HOUNDSTOOTH INSERTS. I PUT IN NEW BLACK CARPET AND A SET OF LMC KICK PANELS. THEN I TOOK IT TO A STEREO SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A KILLER SOUND SYSTEM. I THEN REALIZED THIS TRUCK WAS GOING TO NEED AC, SO I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE NEWEST VINTAGE AIR SETUP. I FINISHED UP THE INTERIOR AND JUST ENJOYED THE TRUCK. ITS A BLAST TO DRIVE WHETHER ITS IN TOWN OR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE TRUCK, INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS AND CUSTOM CARBON FIBER GAUGES. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW AND THE WHEELS ARE BLACK POWDERCOATED STEEL WHEELS. THE MOTOR HAS AN LS6 CAM WITH CHROME HEADERS WHICH MAKES FOR A KILLER SOUND. I CANT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEONE COMING UP TO ME ASKING ABOUT THE TRUCK. I WILL DEFINITELY MISS THIS TRUCK WHEN ITS GONE BUT I JUST BOUGHT MY NEWEST PROJECT, A 1969 CHEVY C10 SHORT BED 4X4, SO UNFORTUNATELY THIS ONE HAS TO GO.
GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. I WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY OTHER PICTURES OF EVEN A VIDEO FOR SERIOUS BUYERS. MY NUMBER IS 573-587-1159 |

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
