1986 Chevy C30 1 ton truck, standard cab, 4 speed transmission, runs and drives great. It does have some issues. I will try and list them all. There is a lot of rust, floor boards mainly, the frame is very rusty, the windshield is cracked on the passenger side, the dash is badly cracked, the seat bottom is in bad shape. There are probably other things, I will list them as I think of them. There are a lot of good things about the truck too. The engine runs great, very little oil consumption. The transmission works fine with the exception that occasionally it will pop out of third gear if you don't hold it in place. The tires look good, it has a fairly new alternator, fuel pump, possibly water pump, master brake cylinder. I am not absolutely positive about the water pump. The rear brakes were redone not too long ago. The brakes do work great. I just removed the gas tank today and cleaned it and replaced it. I had some bad gas. I do have it reattached but it does need to be done properly. The existing straps and the mounts on the bottom of the tank that mount to the frame were badly rusted and not reusable. The metal bed is in pretty good shape. It does have some rust and a couple of holes. It has metal racks and I believe the rear section of the racks is here. Last time I checked the head lights, tail lights, parking lights, brake lights and marker lights did work. I have not checked them in a while. I did notice that one of the rear marker light lenses is broken on the rear driver side of the truck bed. The truck has dents and doesn't look great but it is dependable. I have had no problems starting it except a loose battery cable. The battery does not go with it. It is from another of my vehicles. I may possibly have one here that will go with it but I will have to make sure that it is good and will work but to be safe, I will say no battery included. Last time I changed oil I used Amsoil, a 100% synthetic oil and I believe an Amsoil filter too. The oil is rated at 25,000 miles with an oil filter change at 12,500. I never let the oil go that long. I usually replace both at about 10,000 miles. I have not put that many miles on it since I have had it. I seldom use this truck. Mainly to haul saw dust or mulch for my own use. Occasionally to haul a few pieces of furniture. I believe the engine is a 350. It is a V8. That's about all I can think of. If you have questions, please ask. The gas mileage is not great and seems to vary. I would estimate from 10 to 12 miles per gallon but will not guarantee that. Probably closer to 10. I do trust the truck and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere if I could afford the gas. If you need to drive it a long distance the decision to chance it will be up to you. The mileage is as listed but I don't know if that is original or not. I would guess that it is not.There is no spare tire, jack or lug wrench. There was none when I bought it. I did buy an old tire that is up and holding air that is I have never tried it so I am not certain. But I will throw it in too.. The wheel could be used with another tire if it does in fact fit. I have tried to be completely honest and list the bad as well as the good. The truck weighs between 6,000 and 7,000 pounds and it would bring about $700.00 across the scale for junk, so I will start the price a little above that. This truck is sold as is.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
