For sale is my never ending 1970 C10 project. This truck started life in Texas as a long bed. Through the donor program, it now has short wheelbase frame, 1985 Chevy 1/2 ton front suspension (in order to easily convert to front disc brakes). The cab is the only remaining item that has not been changed (VIN plate goes to cab). The 12 bolt diff is out of another donor, of which I have no idea if is road ready or not, cover has not been pulled. New trailing arms and rear springs. I had the truck in the body shop and had the drip rail removed and was in the process of smoothing the fire wall when I trailed off to another project. I have new sheet metal ( front fenders, core support, cowl induction hood, the doors are new, new door hinges, new bed sides (short bed), new tail gate and rear roll pan. I have also the bed wood kit, but it is in long bed format, as the truck was when I started. I was going to cut those down to fit the short bed. I have all the chrome bed strips and mounting hardward for the wood bed kit. New rear cab corners and rocker panels have been welded in, just need to be ground down and clean up. The seats are out of a late model GTO, they are not bolted in truck and I have not build the mounting brackets to do so. I also had started an install of power windows, the driver side is in but needs to be adjusted to raise and lower smoothly, I have the remaining kit to install on pass side, think I bought this kit from Brothers. The cab is mounted to body with a new bushing kit, put in about 2 - 3 months ago. There is a 350 4 bolt main block that goes with the truck. Not sure the year or exactly where I got it at. There is some wear at top of cylinders but should clean up. I have a Ford diff that I had build in 07 that I was going to use for this truck but the direction of build went other ways. The reason was to get the rear disc brakes. As you can see from receipt, I had limited slip with 3.55 ratio installed. Again the cover has not been pulled since it was put together by driveline shop. It also has never been put in vehicle since build. There are several additional parts that goes with truck such as new door handles, some weather stripping, door locks, used master cylinder, keyless entry kit and extra body mounts. I would suggest a local purchase or bringing trailer to get, from my experience, most vehicle delivery companies will not mess with loose components. Buyer is responsible for any shipping requirements and fees. Please contact me with any questions and for shipping/payment information. 443-980-1269, tracy

GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs

Wed, Aug 19 2020

SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
