This is a nice '72 Chevy 1/2 ton 4X4 short box pickup with a lift kit. I consider it to be a project truck as it needs the body finished, is missing some parts and would require some electrical components hooked up. It does run and drive in it's present condition. I believe it has a 4 inch suspension lift as well as Rancho shocks, rebuilt turbo 350 transmission and rebuilt 350 engine. The gas tank has been relocated to the rear between the frame rails. It would have been located behind the seat from the factory. The seat has been upgraded to an '05 Avalanche one with cup holders and a center console. A nice thing about the seat upgrade is the seat belts are integrated into the seat. The truck is running on 33 inch all terrain tires which have a lot of tread left, plus it appears to have a posi rear differential. The cab, fenders, doors and box are virtually rust free which is pretty rare on a truck this age. The box does have some dents but again no rust. A few other cool features are a rear roll pan which eliminates the rear bumper, big aluminum radiator and electric fan. The previous owner didn't have any receipts but told me the engine and transmission had been rebuilt. He said the engine was an older 4 bolt main block with Vortech heads. It runs pretty good and has good oil pressure but could probably use a little tuning and dialing in. It has a new Summit dual feed carburetor, Edelbrock air gap intake to fit late model heads, long tube headers and a Mallory distributor. As you can see in the pictures the inside of the cab and jams have already been painted. It is a reddish orange that looks to me like a color these trucks came with from the factory. I have checked and topped off the gear cases with fluid and driven it around a bit to verify how everything works. It has a later model delco internally regulated alternator which is in working order. I verified this with a voltmeter as the guage in the cab is not connected at this time. Another interesting thing is that the cab had factory air conditioning although it is not hooked up at present. As you can see in the photos there is a Harrison A6 compressor, lines and condenser included with the truck but I do not know what their condition is. The compressor does still turn freely though. The main things that are missing are the inner fenderwells on the front which run around $120.00 each new. The guage panel is not hooked up but has the rare factory tach. Also the glove box door, door handles and window cranks, one window regulator, some lenses, and some other trim pieces are missing. I do not have a front grille either but the grille surround piece is in really good condition and I have been told that's a very expensive piece. The truck also has a tilt steering column of unknown origin, the steering wheel appears to be one from an older Camaro. The lights and turn signals are not hooked up at present. I have tried the 4 wheel drive and the Warn lockout hubs and that all seems to work fine including low range. I know there is some work required to get the truck finished but I believe this would be a great project for a bodyman or someone who has another truck to use for parts. You just don't see many of the 4 wheel drive short box versions and it has a great stance. The gas filler is in the right hand fenderwell at present but some people have made the tail light or side marker light open up to fill the gas tank when it's been relocated. You just have to use your imagination. I have tried to represent this truck as honestly as possible and do have it advertised locally so reserve the right to end the auction early if I have a local buyer. I have transferred the title into my name and am waiting for it to come back from the DMV.

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer

Wed, Oct 3 2018

We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic Â— isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal. Â Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
