Nobody makes this size engine anymore, and they're getting harder to come by. Please see the photos for condition of the body. Yes, this is a work truck. If you need to haul logs and rocks and mulch, or pull a boat or home or trailer - this is a perfect truck for you!

I bought this truck about ten years ago because I needed something bigger to haul and pull, as mentioned above. I've only put 10K miles on this truck in the last ten years.

Now, for the best part..... When I bought the truck, it had a brand new drive train in it! Yup. 10K miles on a 10yr-old engine and tranny. Where else are you going to find a truck like this?

Truck comes with a tow package and brake-assist. AM/FM/Cassette.

Why am I selling it? We're downsizing a bit. Besides, I have four other trucks.

Now, I'll explain the photos:

*You'll see two photos with channel-locks. The one for the tailgate means you need to use that one to open the tailgate. The one inside the truck means you need that one to bring the passenger seat forward. Both tools will be included with the truck. Really, not a big deal. Both are kept behind the front seats.

*The side of the truck that looks like someone ran over a big log is because someone ran over a big log.

*The one of the driver side door that looks like the door retainer spring popped out and caused the door to open much farther than it was meant to is because the door retainer spring popped out and the door flew open much farther than it was ever meant to. Yes, that happened more than just once. As a result, the door hinge was repaired. However, the wind whistles pretty loudly as the truck rolls down the road. Maybe a bit more weather-stripping could take care of it. Not sure. Haven't tried.

All other photos should show the rest of the bumps and scratches that are typical for a good work truck.

You'll be allowed 14 days to either pick up or arrange shipping. Shipping company must be able to load the truck at the truck stop in Fletcher NC, I-26, Exit 44.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

2014 GMC Sierra Regular Cab revealed

Thu, 16 May 2013

Despite initially launching in just the Crew Cab configuration, the lineup of 2014 GMC Sierra and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks will eventually grow to include three cab sizes and three bed lengths. Oddly enough, our first look at the Regular Cab bodystyle has arrived in a General Motors press release discussing the aerodynamics of the new truck, with an image showing a Sierra Regular Cab testing in the wind tunnel. GMC's website says that Regular Cab and Double Cab models will be available by summer.
While it really didn't take too much imagination to figure out what the two-door version would look like, this Regular Cab Z71 looks pretty sharp with its standard-length (6.5-feet) bed - a longer bed will also be offered. In regards to the aero tuning of the 2014 Sierra, these images show just how far GM has gone in maximizing the truck's fuel efficiency and reducing its noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. Interestingly, the press release shows visual evidence that keeping the tailgate up is best for aero - there's always been some Mythbusters-level contention about such things -but GM also says that adding tonneau covers (preferably soft) and running boards can also help improve the overall aerodynamics. Scroll down for all of this aero info in the official press release.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
