For sale: One-repaint survivor high desert dry Montana 70 Chevy K5 CST Blazer 4x4. I purchased the truck from a local guy that I believe was the 2nd owner, he had the truck 20 years and maintained it well and it shows. He was into these 67-72 trucks and upgraded to the 71-72 disk brake front end and posi rear. The truck is in great condition with no rot or rust. He had the rig repainted 15 years ago at a quality shop here in town, and it's still in good condition. Minor rust repair was done, but nothing major. Here in the land of sagebrush and prickly pear cactus, we only see 10 inches of total moisture per year and no salt is used on the roads, so we don't see rust issues. Truck still has factory chalk marks under hood and underneath! This Blazer is ready to use as is and I'll do my best to describe it below.

Exterior: Paint is in good condition and truck looks great The casual observer won't find any flaws. Car show nit-pickers will find a few small chips that were touched up on cowl and driver door.  NO rot or rust, minor repairs were done when the truck was repainted in the factory dark blue color 15 years ago that include rockers, one spot behind passenger rear wheel and a couple of small spots where windshield seal leaked near kick panel/footwell. We don't see rust or rot issues in this arid country- there's just no moisture. I have owned many of these trucks, and I think this is one of the driest I have ever seen, owing to years of meticulous care and proper storage. Underside of truck is super clean - floors, etc all look nice and dry - will add link to more pics underneath.  Glass is good and windshield is new.  It really is an honest rig, you can see that it's very straight and dry overall. Chrome in good condition with no pitting. Grille surround is in fairly good shape with only a few dings. Grille center bar has a pretty big scratch/ding as shown. Front bumper has a few dings. Rally wheels are in good shape with new trim rings.

Interior: All original except front seat covers and very presentable. Factory A/C truck, but previous owner robbed most of the stuff for another 2WD shortbox truck he had, figuring this was a 4wd and didn't need A/C! Most of the stuff is readily available to make it functional again. Front seats had a few rips , so I had them recovered with the correct upholstery from Classic Industries. Driver door panel has a couple small tears as shown. Headliner and visors good. Original dashpad in good shape, gauge bezel shows wear. Original carpet shows wear but isn't torn up. Rear CST panels were cut at the very back for storage of some kind behind rear seat, they are available reproduction. Original steering wheel has the usual cracks. Everything seems to work except temp gauge and of course A/C. Aftermarket stereo was installed and woks. Heater switch failed and previous owner installed external switch on bottom of dash out of sight. Overall really nice shape for a truck of this age and no issues to drive and use. 

Mechanical: Starts, runs, drives out well, no major issues - 350 4 barrel engine runs smooth and pulls hard and trans shifts well. I had a professional mechanic inspect and drive the truck and he gave it a great review with the only possible repair needed being new U-joints. Shortblock was replaced at 96k miles, not the VIN matching original engine now but the code on pad decodes to a 1970 350 4 barrel engine! Heads were replaced at 113k miles. Oil pressure is good and no noticeable smoke or significant leaks other than the typical valve seal puff at startup once in a while. I tested the 4 x 4 and transfer case and everything seem to work fine. Truck doesn't seem heat at all. Exhaust is stock type and quiet. Everything on the truck appears to work except temp gauge and A/C from what I can tell. Tires are 33 x 12.50 and are not cracked, and have a season of tread left. Like all these short wheelbase rigs with huge tires, it will follow the ruts on some roads. On good roads it's fine. I had a complete front end inspection and alignment done and it's up to you if you want to live with it or swap to smaller tires. I've put a couple hundred miles on and from what I can tell, the truck ready to use and enjoy. This Blazer has the stock suspension with no lift other than slightly stiffer springs and a 1" block at the rear to offset the factory sag and give it a more aggressive stance.

Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this rig and you will too. These trucks in good condition sell for double my reserve, which is under $9500 for quick sale. A similar 72 Blazer just sold for $18k here on Ebay and it needed paint. Title is clear with no lien and signed off and notarized and ready to fill in your name as purchaser. THANKS

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs

Mon, Oct 2 2017

DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating

Fri, May 13 2016

This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.
