1972 C10 Pickup, 350 V8, 3 speed automatic transmission. Runs, drives, stops with no problems. I bought this off ebay from a guy in Colorado Feb 2010, had it shipped to Michigan, and drove it around for about 9 months, put about 2K miles on it. Everything on the truck worked very well, no problems. I took it off the road and started the body work in early 2011. All side molding were removed and the holes were welded, painted the frame, replaced all of the cab mounts. The floors and rockers were all replaced with LMC panels. The cab is nearly ready for paint, box sides still need work. Box front panel and tailgate are both new LMC parts. We removed the original gas tank and seat, but still have them, along with the original seat belts. The original gas port on the side of the cab has been welded closed. We also have cloth seats from a 2001 Chevy Silverado, which have integral seat belts in them, the drivers seats does have a few small holes in the fabric that require repair. We have the original lights that were on the truck when purchased, along with all new front, tail and side lights from LMC, minus the headlights, those are original. The LMC lights are still in their boxes, not installed. We have the LMC Suburban gas tank and the gas tank straps, we were planning to move the gas port to the wheel well, but never started the install. The old gas lines still run into the cab, and a temporary gas tank allows it to be run. The windows have all be junked, and the only windows that come with this truck are the side wings, no other glass included. We junked the grill that was in this truck, it was in poor condition, so there is no grill included. We do have a new LMC steel front bumper, not chromed. The tires on the truck are great shop tires, they have held air throughout 2 years of sitting in the garage. They have some tread remaining, but would obviously need to be replaced for a driver. The muffler and tail pipe were junk, so they were cut off and scraped. The exhaust manifolds to crossover are still on the truck and they are solid. The pictures show all of the parts that I have for this truck, the original door panels and handles are all there. New control/idler arms included, not installed. I have most of my LMC receipts available for the buyer. The photos of the body in primer/filler are the current status for this truck. There are two photos of this truck in blue paint, on trailer - this is the condition of the truck when I bought it in 2010.
This is listed as a project, no warranty or guarantees of any kind. I've done my best to describe it, and you can contact me to review before bidding. This is an auction only, and high bid on ebay wins it. No low ballers, and no international bidders, and no bidders with less that 5 positive ebay transactions or I'll just cancel your bid. What you see in the photos is everything that you get - I do not guarantee anything on the truck is running perfect at this time, it's been in a state of tear down and build up for about 2 years, so don't expect to go for a drive down the highway with this truck. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, I will not ship it.
$200 deposit due within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Pickup and full payment, cash only, due within 2 weeks of the end of the auction.

Chevy up to old EVs-equal-range-anxiety tricks in new Volt Olympics ad
Fri, Feb 14 2014General Motors is at it again with a new Chevrolet Volt TV commercial. Viewers of the Winter Olymics (at least in some markets) recently saw a TV ad in between the skating and the skiing that made no mention of the environmental benefits or freedom from the power of Big Oil that electric vehicles provide. No, this one was based on pure survival instinct. In the video, a father is driving down a highway, perhaps through the Mojave Desert. His young son is sitting in the Volt's backseat and asks what happens when the EV's battery runs out. "We'll have to cross that burning desert with snakes and cactus until we make it back to civilization," the dad tells his son as they pass the skeleton of a fallen bull. The fine print makes it clear that the actual maximum range is 342 miles. But there is hope. The father tells his son, with a beaming smile on his face, that the gas generator has kicked in and they're going to make it through the desert. As they wend their way to the horizon, a voice over says that Volt drivers who charge up regularly are making it 900 miles between fill ups. The fine print makes it clear that the actual official maximum range before you need to either plug in or fill up is 342 miles. This theme that emphasized range anxiety has been utilized by GM since the extended range Volt was launched in late 2010, despite the fact that Chevrolet now offers an all-electric vehicle in the Spark EV. Volt fans are praising the commercial, called The New Freedom, on the GM-Volt forum and you can see for yourself below. This content is hosted by a third party.

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.

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's
Thu, Oct 4 2018GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
