CONDITION - This truck has a 454 engine that runs great, with an automatic transmission.  The transmission has a slow drip from the speedometer cable, but it has been like that for as long as I have owned it (about 10 years) and I have never had a problem with it.  Right now it drives a little sluggish since it has been sitting for over a year, but it was my daily driver before I got a new truck, and it drove great when i parked it.  The seat has a couple flaws in the fabric and the oil pressure and speedometer are the only gauges currently working.  Gas gauge needs a new sending unit in the tank to be operational.  Exterior has some rust around the wheel wells and the drivers side door has a bunch of rust.  This was a 1/2 ton body put on a 3/4 ton chassis as a project truck from the guy I bought it from.  Not sure how many miles are actually on it since the odometer has been switched out a couple times.  When I used to drive it, I would put on average 2,000miles/year on it so it definitely has a lot of life left in it.

FEATURES - This vehicle has a 2" suspension lift, and has BFG Mud Terrain tires on custom rims as seen in the photo.  Tires are in good shape as well as the the rims.  Has a plastic "Protecta" bed liner and a brush guard on the front.  This truck DOES have a tow package.

HISTORY - I bought this truck from a local guy about 10 years ago.  Unsure if he was original owner.  I DO have a clean title in hand however.

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT - Buyer is responsible for shipping and or pickup of this vehicle.  Once the transaction is complete, buyer assumes all liability of shipping arrangements and associated costs.  Paypal is preferred method of payment.  Cash or cashier's check will also be accepted.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt

Thu, Feb 26 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
