1986 one ton Chevrolet Truck (Dual Wheels on rear). I believe it has the 350 engine but not 100% sure. It does have a four speed manual transmission. The engine runs great. I have not had it on long hauls, usually not over 100 miles from home. I haven't had any problems with oil consumption, bad liquid leaks (none that I know of). Once in a while the gear shift will pop out of third gear. The tires look to be in pretty good condition. When it sits for days, as it usually does, the tires will bump when you first take off until they roll for awhile. I believe this is fairly common in the larger trucks. The transmission, other than popping out of third gear once in a while, works great. The frame, especially on the driver side is very rusty. I have hauled lumber, saw dust, junk, you name it, on the truck and have had no problems but I want to make you aware that the frame will need fixed or replaced. The truck has recently had the master cylinder, alternator and fuel pump replaced. The previous owner had some brake work done. The rear for sure, not positive about the front. The brakes work great. The heater works fine. There are some rust holes that let in the outside air, (floor boards for example). A couple of months ago the fuel filter started filling up with particles from the gas tank and after changing the filter about three times I disconnected the fuel line from the tank and am currently using a five gallon can. Not the safest way fix but I don't smoke nor drive it very often. The tank will need to be taken off and cleaned and the line reconnected. I do have a clear title. Mechanically, as far as I know, there is nothing wrong with the truck, other than the third gear issue. The body is rough, the windshield has a small area that is cracked, looks like a rock may have hit it. A picture is included in this listing. I currently have some left over lumber on the bed from a home improvement job so there is no pictures of the bed. I will have it unloaded before the end of sale. It does have a steel bed with metal racks. The truck did have a fifth wheel hitch that the previous owner had removed. The bed has at least one fairly small rusted through place on the bed. I remember it from when I was shoveling saw dust off the truck. Not major but can be an issue. I have tried to list everything negative that I know of, please see the pictures before bidding. If you have questions please ask and I will try and answer them. The truck runs good, it does have issues, rust for example. Lots of it. It is not very economical to drive. I think I usually get about ten to twelve miles per gallon. It is geared low so the slower that you drive it on the open road, probably the better the gas mileage. Other than the gas tank being disconnected, I would not be afraid to take off in it and head cross country. The truck will be your responsibility to move, no great hurry, a couple weeks or so will be fine. I am selling it as-is, no guarantees. The rust is pretty bad.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
