Beautiful ’70 C10 Chevy step-side pickup truck with the shop/patina theme was a complete frame off show restore somewhere around 2001. Sometime after ’06, the owner got tired of the truck sitting in a garage and started driving it…..which enhanced the weathering/patina of the truck. Since I have owned the truck, it has been completely gone through in order to make the truck as dependable as possible. This truck is a super cool “driver” that is practical enough for daily or long trips. I know this phrase is way over used, but “I would drive the truck anywhere”……. don’t worry about bringing a trailer to pick it up. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine was not modified as I wanted it to be practical and dependable for everyday driving, get descent gas mileage, and have a retro look. There is not a peck or tick whatsoever in the engine compartment. - 350 4 bolt main engine w/ 350 turbo tranny…truck runs 80-85mph on the interstate with no problem whatsoever -Trans kick-down cable is hooked up and works great - Weiand intake -Coated headers w/ Flowmasters (40 series) -New plugs/wires/oil change...everything in drive train has been recently serviced and is ready to go -Trans cooler installed -3 core radiator upgrade…this truck can idle in the desert for days and not run hot -16-18mpg on average EXTERIOR: The sheet metal of this truck is original (not a Frankenstein creation) and is in excellent shape(perfectly straight)….it only has normal wear that adds to the overall character of a patina vehicle……the truck is weathered, not dented or rusted to death. There is a small ding in the crease of the front right fender(see pics/video)…easy to fix if you want to “slick” the truck….and there are some paint chips/minor stratches from normal wear. All the suspension/steering components of this truck were rebuilt/replaced. I wanted the most practical suspension I could find and to have the lowest stance possible without c-notching, so I went with an Early Classic Enterprise 4/6 drop kit, and stance and ride of this truck is perfect. -Suspension is a 4/6 complete drop kit from Early Classic Enterprise that includes drop spindles, springs, KYB GR2 shocks w/ relocators, super track bar….this kit provides for a killer stance with awesome ride without any shake or vibration at any speed -5 lug with New 20” Boss 8.5 front & back wheels w/ Michelin tires....this truck was built to drive so I went with the same size wheels and tires so they could be rotated properly. -Power Steering & Power Disc Brakes up front with New front calipers/rotors/pads/rear drums and shoes -New bearing carrier -Early Classic hidden hitch with adjustable air shocks in the rear for towing/hauling….very nice feature -Note that this truck has the ‘73-’87 front end suspension upgrade…crossmember / A-arms/sway bar that were professionally installed and lined…very nice upgrade from the ’67-’72 front ends...you can let go of the steering wheel at any spend and it holds as true as a new vehicle -Sway bar with new Moog bushings….sway bars are a must on these trucks…improves handling tremendously -Cab mounts are in excellent shape -Cab corners/rockers/kick panels /all the notorious places for rust on these trucks are in great shape -GM Bahama blue base coat/ clear coat…..beautiful color! -Floor of the bed is showing its age, but again it just adds to the nostalgic appeal of the truck - You can tell the truck was a complete frame off restoration around 10-12 yrs old based on the undercarriage...it is very clean with only minor surface rust....no undercoating or paint trying to hide anything under this truck. A couple of the undercarriage pics have been attached to listing and represent it extremely well. I have tons of undercarriage pics that I can text...just let me know -The doors shut as good as a new Chevy truck....see video -Note that the Shop Logo is superficial to the clear coat, and with a little lacquer thinner, can be removed in about 5 mins. INTERIOR: The interior is very clean and the floor is extremely solid with no rust. -Cab has been insulated with sound mat/jute -New floor mat -Original style AM/FM radio with cd/iPod/mp3 upgrade & new speaker - All cab/glass seals are in great shape -New 3 point(shoulder) seat belts from Brothers …also installed a middle lap belt -New Houndstooth seat cover -New gas tank with sending unit -All glass is in perfect shape -Windows work great and wing glass opens perfectly -All gauges work properly NEEDS: -Parking brake cable needs to be attached inside cab….cable does come with truck. -Currently has a small trans leak where speedo cable attaches Note that if I get a chance, I will address both of these small issues before truck is sold, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to get to them….so truck is being sold as is.
Check out the video of this truck on YouTube at Overall, this is a beautiful truck that is extremely nice and super clean with a lot of character and personality. The truck is shop/patina truck as is, but the sheet metal/body on the truck is in such great shape it is ready to block sand and paint if you want a traditional show truck. There is one small ding in the crease of the front passenger fender(see pic./video) and the front bed petition has a slight bend…these quirks add to the overall appearance of the patina style, but if you want to “slick” the truck, they will need to be addressed. If you like the shop/patina style trucks, this one is super nice. It was not just thrown and pieced together, and if you see it, you will realize the attention to detail that was taken with this truck. This is a no excuse truck, and I have described it to the best of my knowledge. I am not trying to hide anything on this truck and encourage anyone interested in a C10 to come look. You are more than welcome to send a 3rd party inspector to assess the truck and make sure it is describe accurately. If need be, I will do my best with assisting with shipping of the truck, but the buyer is responsible for setup and all expenses. If you have any questions or want other pics, please don’t hesitate to ask. Serious inquires only! A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hrs. from auctions end with balance due in cash, wire transfer, or cashier’s check from bank(check will need to be verified before truck is released). Vehicle is sold as-is. Clean/Clear title in my name with matching numbers on the original door tag and glove box….. Email, call 606-598-9953 evenings after 5pm, or the best way to reach me is via text at 606-813-2045 ANYTIME.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
Wed, May 22 2024When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
