Ottawa, Illinois, United States
Up for your consideration: an original 1972 Chevrolet c-10 survivor pickup, The truck was delivered to Zscheile Motor Company in Burlington Kansas in December of 1971.... the truck remained there until the second owner bought it and hauled it to Maryland to drive and enjoy it... Unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago and I bought it from his son in law... I purchased it for my father as a surprise gift.... surprise to me my dad didn't want it. So you would be the third owner.... This truck is very cool especially with nostalgic vehicles being the rage right now...the paint is faded and is has chips scuffs and a small amount of rust on the drivers door the rest of the front end and cab are very solid. The only issue of rust is rust through around the inner wheel wells in the bed you can't see from the side you must look in the bed of the truck. It is a rear leaf and front coil suspension truck with newer rear leaf packs in back... and the suspension is in great shape. I put new brakes on rear with new drums and in front... rotors new calipers and pads and of course wheel bearings are new. the ball joints are solid and steering tight. I ran new brake lines and fuel where needed...I wanted this truck to have no issues for years. It has a newer radiator and water pump and fuel pump... I have the original carb air cleaner and points distributer this truck is truly a survivor... Glass is all good & interior complete.... lights work everything functions as it should.... the gentleman before me was almost done with an aftermarket A/C system... only needs a small amount to finish. The engine is the higher horse power one and runs very well...numbers match and still has the diagnostic sticker to prove it The 350 turbo trans shifts and drives excellent and has been rebuilt.... Tires are all good. New exhaust with magnaflow mufflers with the muscle car sound we all hear on tv... I have driven this truck 1 to 2 times a week and it is fun to drive with a lot of hp to get up and go! It is always a head turner and usually have people walking around it where I stop. I have another car that has to get finished and with my dad turning it down... I just want to sell it... if things were different... it would stay... I really enjoy driving it. I have original paperwork all the way back to the original dealership that sold it new... YOU CAN DRIVE THIS TRUCK HOME... NO warranty you must come look at it to make offers... bring cash... no bull on the you will pay me extra for shipping garbage.... I Don't deliver... shipping can be considered truck must be paid for first....along with shipping. truck is for sale locally...reserve the right to end auction early. The best form of payment is cash... no trades or checks could do a wire transfer from your bank to mine... truck goes nowhere till my bank says I am good to go.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem
Wed, Mar 9 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
