Up for auction a rare GMC 1/2 ton pick up truck. I believe in driving the trucks I restore so I built this truck with this in mind. This truck was built using a Chevy S10 frame and has the 4.3 Vortech engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. All the sheet metal bed, cab, fenders, etc.. except the front bed panel (which i replaced) are original. The truck has 15" rally wheels with 3" beauty rings and original late 60s era derby hub caps. The cab inside floor and under the cab and under the fenders have been painted with P.O.R.15. The cab and bed were epoxied primed. And the fenders were painted with Z Chrome rust defender before painting. The truck is painted in a firethorn red gold metallic flake. The paint job is not perfect but is nice and the truck does turn heads. I tried to keep the truck as original looking as possible but also keeping comfort in mind. The cowl vent works and the windshield cranks open. There is the original style headlight switch. I used a S10 instrument cluster but also used the original style instrument cluster bezel. The seats are black leather power seats the diver seat being a 8 position power seat. The steering column is a S10 column and the blinkers, and high low beam are controlled by the blinker arm. The windshield wipers are single speed and controlled by a toggle switch in the dash. The interior light is also controlled by a toggle switch on the dash. The driver and passenger door glass are original to the truck. the windshield and back glas have been replaced. All the handles except the window crank handle are original to the truck. The steering wheel is a custom grant 13.5 inch wheel. All the rubber seals have been replaced. The bed has oak boards that me and my dad planned and finished from rough cut oak slats my neighbor cut in his saw mill. The bed strips and angles are polished stainless steel. the bed chains are also stainless steel as are the bed bolts The brakes on the truck has been replaced and the truck drives and stops great. I used the original S10 fuel tank and wiring harness. The truck is a lot of fun to drive and is a real head turner everyone loves to see it coming down the road and folks will keep you hemmed up at the store or gas pump wanting to look at the truck.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes
Wed, Feb 19 2014There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.
Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years
Fri, Feb 21 2014Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
