Hello,
This is my 83' Chevy C-10 that I've had for a number of years now. My reason for selling is financial. I'm starting school in the fall, and the cost, not to mention this truck being a second vehicle, has forced me to sell. I'd love to keep it because it is a very fun truck to drive, and could easily become a functional daily drive for anyone interested. With that said, the truck is currently NOT RUNNING. There is an ignition issue involving the Accel distributor that's currently in the truck, so I've ordered a new one and my father (who helps me with the maintenance) and I will be putting it in before the conclusion of this auction. I will keep this posting updated with details about the progress of that repair. Now to the fun part. This truck has a loooong list of aftermarket parts that have been incorporated. The engine was out of a 96' Chevy Silverado (Vortec, throttle body w/ Vortec cast iron heads), which we had machined. This is to include a three angle valve job on the Vortec heads. The lower end includes a Scat crank, Kieth Black pistons, Melling oil pump, and a Milodon oil pan. The entire top end was outfitted with new parts, and included a Comp hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holly 600 CFM carb. I'd estimate that the engine has around 2,000 miles on it. When the distributor wasn't having issues, we were also having issues getting the truck to idle down properly. This could probably be resolved with some carb tuning that is beyond my scope of mechanical ability. I'll also mention the aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum air filter cover, and Holley electric fuel pump that is mounted on the frame, near the driver side door. On the exhaust side of things, the truck has headers and dual exhaust that dumps right behind the rear axle (photograph of undercarriage shows this). The mufflers were a Flowmaster replica whose name I don't remember, and I've never been aware of the brand of headers. At idle the truck has a mild exhaust note, but when it's revved it really sounds good. An aggressive sound that isn't just a bunch of noise, but not incredibly loud like some of these guys are running. The transmission is a Saginaw four speed with a Hurst 4 speed shifter. I was never able to get the linkage just perfect, but the truck functionally shifts in to each gear. The clutch and flywheel (Lakewood) is also new. In regards to the body, the paint job is not perfect. The body has dings, scratches, orange peel, poor body work in different places. I've included photographs of the majority of these issues, but I might have overlooked some. I can say that the truck is completely rust free. Wheels and tires are Chevrolet rally wheels; 15x10, FireHawk Indy 500, P295/60 R15 on the rear, 15x8 Yokohama Avid S/T P235/60 R15. The tread is not great, but acceptable all the way around. The passenger's side front tire has a slow leak. The bed of the truck I did not photograph because it needs to be cleaned out, but it is painted in primer and has all the normal wear and tear of a 30+ year old truck bed. Inside the truck are a lot of new parts as well. The carpet, seat belts are both new, and the seat has been reapholstered, which alone cost me a little over 300 dollars. Outside of this, I've reused some old interior parts. The dash is badly cracked in a few places, and I've included a picture of this. The gauge cluster and steering well don't look perfect either. All the glass on the truck is crack free from what I've noticed, and crystal clear. There are some other noteworthy, small issues like how the glove compartment doesn't have a latch, the kicker panels haven't been replaced, the hood popper hasn't been remounted. As the auction progresses I will continue listing any issues that I feel are significant, but I think the important thing for potential bidders to keep in mind is the truck is by no means perfect. I know that doesn't make me sound like much of a salesman, but I want to be upfront so I don't have any issues post-transaction. I want to be transparent about the fact that this truck will need a little TLC here and there, but paired with the right owner could be a real joy and asset to someone's life. Happy bidding. Some additional details I forgot: -I do have a brand new, chrome rear bumper (photographed), but I do not have the mounting brackets or hardware. -The truck's odometer read 30,190 miles, but I am certain it has rolled over once so 130,190 miles. -There is no factory AC in the truck, but I have an aftermarket system that came with it that will be included in the sale. -The trim around the passenger door has a few missing pieces of hardware -Chipped paint at the top of the front windshield -Buyers are responsible for pickup -Cash or cashier's check payment methods will require verification of funds Thanks! |

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago
Thu, Feb 12 2015It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars
Fri, Oct 26 2018DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.
