For auction is a 1966 Chevrolet C20 longbed pickup truck. The truck is 3/4 ton with a 292 straight 6 engine, 4-on-the-floor. Runs and drives, was a daily driver. It will get the job done, but it won't win any beauty contests while doing so.

The guts:

The truck has never given me any problems with starting or running. The engine is strong, but gives a little miss if you quickly punch it to the floor. Here is a quick video of me starting her up, and giving it that little punch. It's never been a problem while driving, I suspect it's a timing thing. The truck leaks a lot of oil, it will need gaskets all around if you value your driveway. It has a new alternator, new starter, has had the same battery in it since at least 2009 when I bought it, needs new battery cables and there is some crummy stuff around the top of the radiator sometimes. Other than that, I'm not really sure about the rest, as I'm not terribly mechanically inclined. The back brakes have been totally replaced, but the front ones need to be done. I haven't looked, but judging by the condition of the back brakes when I did them, a whole overhaul should be done on the front.

The exterior:

Rust-Oleum flat black. The exterior is in need of restoration, as there are numerous dents and small rust holes (and one possible puncture hole?) throughout the bed and body. There are rust bubbles in what the truck guys call the "usual areas," for these old trucks, meaning the lower fenders, corners of the doors. The holes for the chrome (which is missing) are filled in on the passenger side. The wood and rails in the bed are totally shot. The previous owner cut out plywood to lay down in the bed, so it is useable for truck stuff. I bought a new windshield and gasket in 2009 when I bought it the truck, and it is still in perfect condition. The rear window is probably original and pretty scratched, the side windows and wind wings are not cracked. The rear tires were purchased in 2011 and the front tires were purchased a few months later.

The interior:

There is The floor liner is torn on the driver's side, and the bench seat is torn on the driver's side, however the seat back is intact. The inside of the cab has been sprayed Rust-Oleum satin black, with a blue-green for the accents. There is no radio, there is a heater. New dome light, new turn signal assembly.

The story:

In 2009 we needed a reliable, large truck for making trips to the home improvement store while we renovated our house. We hauled everything from pallets of tiles and bricks, to lumber, to stacks of drywall 20 sheets high in the back of this truck and she never batted an eye. The truck was my daily driver up until May 2013. Now that we're done working on the house, and I have secured a cushy job that allows me to work from home, we have no need for a heavy duty pickup, and would like to move to something smaller (while we're at it, you know anybody selling a 67-72 Blazer?).

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
