Napa, California, United States

Condition to disclose: This is a daily driver, mostly in town, but I do take to SFO airport and when returning from work I am in traffice for 2.5-3 hours with no issues, no overheating or such. Just lots of thumbs up when I'm on the road. Paint is original as seen in pics, no bondo, truck is nicely straight except passenger door has some minor dings on it. Doors and cab have drill holes from old camper mirrors and old tie down hooks on bed. Under carriage looks its age but nothing beyond that. The cab needs a new mat if you like but i feel it matches the rest of the truck. The seat have some holes but again match the patina of the truck.

Condition the good: Original motor replaced with another new/rebuilt 350. About 260HP with motor additions of Edelbrock aluminum intake and carb, plus new Magnaflow Dual Exhaust, truck sounds real nice. At the same time as motor work the large radiator was rebuilt, along with brakes, and tranny rebuilt. All this within the last 8-10 thousand miles. Truck is very presentable and reliable. I've had more people ask me to sell this vehicle then any other I've ever owned just because of the cool factor. Also note: all new belts, and radiator hoses, plus also a new Optima red top battery not shown in pics.

Features: C-10 trim all present. Ralley wheels and tires have 90%+ thread. New dash pad. New radio and single dash speaker, radio looks old school but has MP3 feature. Bucket seats with factory center console. Instrument panel all works and has desired tach. Tilt steering column. Original factory green tint glass. All lights, blinkers, and interior components work. Strong newer motor and great sounding Magnaflow dual exhaust. 15x8 Ralley wheels with newer BF Goodrich tires. New/rebuilt motor and tranny, no leaks in the drive way!!!

History: I bought this a few years ago as I always wanted a Chevy short bed truck. When i bought it the gentleman I bought it from flipped it from a family that had owned it for 39 years. It needed a lot of work as explained above. This truck is really cool as it sits and the only things I would do would be to replace front bushings to ease up the squeeking if that bothers you, but the truck drives very tight as I did replace the front sway bar bushings, and maybe replace the floor mat, but again, it matches the trucks patina. This truck is very reliable and what I like is it has no leaks which is tought to do with these old trucks. This truck is very reliable on a daily bases.

Shipping: This is for local pick up only. Buyer will have to make his own arraingments.

This truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end listing at any time.

This truck is being sold as is, where is, and no warranty of any kind is expressed. You buy it its yours as is.

Thank you.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

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?

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
