This is a 1972 Chevrolet C10 truck. It is a Custom 10 series. The truck would be a great shop truck, drive while you restore or just a cool old everyday driver. The truck is still in the name of the buyer from back in March of 72. Yes, that would make it a one owner. The odometer shows 04,203. We are, by no means, trying to pass this truck off as only having 4,000 original miles. Common sense would make it 104,000 miles.
The truck has a good running small block, we assume it is a 350, with factory cast iron exhaust manifolds. It has a cast iron intake manifold as well but has had a Holley 600 carburetor installed. Carb works great on the stock small block, really responsive. It has also been upgraded to a later model HEI distributor so there are no issues with points and condenser. Has a new fuel pump and power steering pump. The fan shroud is busted, but most of them this old are. A new one is readily available through several aftermarket suppliers. The truck runs down the road like it should, shifts out , rides and drives like all these old trucks do.
A few issues, nothing major, to cover before we go on. The heater core leaks, again, available at any local parts store. There is no radio but it has not been cut out for an aftermarket cd player. The dome light works, is missing the lens. Seat cover is torn, but is still on the seat. That is the small odds and ends.
Now for the bigger things. It does not have a tailgate. The hinges are there, just not a tailgate. It has typical rust on the cab corners and rocker panels. There is a strip of rust through on the bed floor. The grill is bent up. The hood has a wad of body filler. The fenders have bumps and bruises, as do the bedsides. It has been used as a truck during its life and it does show wear and tear, but it is still all there and has not been cobbled up.
The good news. The doors open and close freely. It has the good outside mirrors, they look to be original. The doors do NOT have those awful speaker holes cut into them. The lights and wipers work. The sunvisos are still there. There is NO rust above the windshield where the visors attatch. I know you saw the cool era correct wooden steering wheel and the owner,, ?,, fabbed wooden arm rests.
The truck has a new, yes new, set of 10 inch wide white spokes with BF Goodrich tires. The brakes stop the truck like they should. It steers effortlessly like these trucks do. It is just a cool old truck.
Does it have some wear and tear,, yes. Is it a neat old truck that you could drive as is, drive while you restore or make a personalized shop truck, oh yeah. The cool thing about these old trucks is, everybody has parts for them. Tell you what, do the buy it now and I will include another hood (in much better shape, just not the one that came with this truck) and a good driver quality grill (again, in much better shape, just not the one that came with this truck). Thanks and good luck.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?
Thu, Feb 5 2015The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
