1972 Chevrolet C-10 Cheyenne Super Truck
This is a California short bed Chevy Cheyenne 1/2 ton super. I bought this truck over 10 years ago and its been
stored in a temperature controlled garage and well taken care of. This truck was Featured on the cover of Classic
Trucks magazine October, 1997. I have the cover to the magazine and title in hand. Below is the article with all
the specifications. The only thing that has been modified since the article is that the bench seat was taken out
and replaced with bucket seats and a console. Excellent condition, runs perfect, reliable, could be a daily driver.

Rene Martinez's '72 Cheyenne Super
If you look at rarity strictly from a numbers point of view, of the 365,778 Chevy C-10 trucks built in 1972, only 3
percent left the assembly line as long bed Stepsides versus the roughly 10 percent that left as Cheyenne Supers. In
total, Fleet sides outnumbered Stepsides two to one, and while there aren’t any hard figures about how many of
the Cheyenne Supers were long or short beds, one thing’s for sure: they have remained desirable and valuable for
the last 35 years. Even the base-model C-10s are somewhat prized these days, not to mention a truck like Rene
Martinez’s ’72 Cheyenne Super that shared the cover of our February ’07 issue with the rest of his herd shot
in his ample backyard.
Rene still maintains that he’s not a collector, but his wife begs to differ-she says it’s more of an addiction.
Whatever the case may be, they both fell in love with this green and white two-tone truck the first time they laid
eyes on it. Rene wasn’t even looking for another truck as he wandered around a Fresno-area swap-meet minding his
own business searching for parts for one of his other “children,” but even his wife said he needed it. It was
hard to argue with that, so the deal was made for the clean, original short bed. Rene knew it wasn’t going to
take much to get the ’72 just where he wanted it-close to the ground!
He took the truck to Fat Fender in Fresno for some good medicine that resulted in a 3 1/2-inch drop in the front
and a full 5 inches out back, and the 17-inch Torq-Thrust IIs wrapped up the exterior perfectly. Next it was off to
his good friend Kevin Hernandez of Kev’s Classics, also in Fresno, for a stock tach dash upgrade as well as
stepping up to the rare stock tilt column that only graced some 60,000 trucks in ’72. The rest of the interior is
stock and has survived quite well. The bench seat is still covered in the factory off-white vinyl with simulated
tooled-leather patterns. Along with the Cheyenne Super package came the woodgrain inserts on the glovebox door,
door panels, and gauge panel that Kevin made sure went on the new panel.
The C-10 is basically stock, with factory air, five-lug disc brakes in front, trailing arm rear suspension, a
12-bolt, a 350 V-8, and a Turbo 350. Before Rene took ownership, the original four-bolt main motor was the subject
of a mild build that consisted of being bored .030-over, balanced, blueprinted, and fitted with Speed-Pro forged
pistons, a 268H COMP cam, ported iron heads, and glass-beaded and shot-peened Chevy rods. On the outside, there’s
an Edelbrock dual-plane intake and a 650-cfm carb, Summit polished valve covers, a Mallory UniLite HEI, and
Doug’s 2 1/2-inch headers that breathe fire into the Flowmasters under the steel bed floor.

GM's redesigned full-size 2021 SUVs face delay over coronavirus
Tue, Mar 31 2020As General Motors works to conserve cash for the coronavirus pandemic, the automaker reportedly told suppliers that it is postponing development of several future vehicles. The situation may cause GM to delay the launch of the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs, which had been planned to roll out in April. The original launch plan for the redesigned full-size SUVs, which are some of the most profitable vehicles produced by GM, had called for production of the current models to end at its plant in Arlington, Texas, this week. After a retooling process, the redesigned SUVs were slated to begin production late in the month of April. In an email to suppliers viewed by Reuters and confirmed as authentic by GM, the automaker also said it was suspending development work on six future vehicle programs, including updates of the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Cadillac XT4, Bolt EV, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM said preproduction work on those programs would be pushed back to calendar year 2021, with most of the updated vehicles scheduled to be launched as 2022 models. According to the Detroit News, work has also been paused on the Chevy Camaro and a future version of the Corvette that has yet to be unveiled and wasn't planned for production during the 2020 calendar year. Last week, the automaker told employees and suppliers it was delaying work on some future vehicles while pushing ahead with near-term models such as its redesigned full-size SUVs and the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cruise Origin, as well as its new Ultium battery system. A GM spokesman who spoke with Reuters reiterated on Monday what the automaker had said last week — that the situation with its U.S. plants was "fluid" and that the automaker would "continue to evaluate" whether and when to reopen those plants on a week-by-week basis, with "employee safety" guiding that decision. GM said previously that it was closing most of its U.S. plants indefinitely. In its Monday email, GM asked suppliers to stop work on all pre-production tooling and pre-production parts manufacturing, but also not to dispose of any tooling or materials. GM told Reuters it had solicited volunteers from its workforce to finish the build-out of the current SUVs on a single shift in Arlington.
Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars
Sun, Jan 11 2015Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
