Up for sale is a decent, clean, solid and straight old truck that you can get in and drive with no worries, not to be confused with a show truck. The old girl starts right up every time and drives straight down the road. The trans. shifts good, the fluid is red, no leaks, or drips coming from there. The tires are 215 70 R 15 on 15 X 7" super nice Chevy rally rims. The tires have near 70% tread life. The old girl has a new tune up, complete new brakes, brake lines and flex lines, front and rear, new pads and calipers on the front, new shoes, wheel cylinders and drums on the rear. The front end is tight, no worn out parts there, power steering, manual brakes. The front clip is a 1971 Camaro, the motor, trans. are from the same car. The motor has been rebuilt, no oil, or coolant leaks, no smoke, or any unusual noise of any kind, the motor runs smooth. Every piece of glass has been replaced all the way around, along with new seals, new door seals, new window regulators, the windows go up and down very good. Not sure if you would call this old truck a rat rod, but I suppose it could possibly fall somewhere in that category. The body isn't what you would call rust free, but very straight and solid all around (Texas, DFW area) truck, with it's share of paint chips and scratches here and there. The lights work, brake lights, running lights, and dash lights all work. The gauges are very clean and in very good condition. I took this old truck for payment back last winter, I really don't know too much more about the truck other than what I've found myself. I think it's a safe and dependable truck, mechanically sound. When I washed the old girl the other day, I didn't see any water inside the cab, very unusual I would think? The floor is very solid, nice presentable interior, seat, door panels, headliner and floor mat look crisp and clean.
Thanks for your time checking out the old Chevy pick up, remember to ask any questions you can think of.

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.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
