I am offering for sale my 1972 Chevrolet C10 big block pickup (long bed). It is factory black with the original 400 big block motor complete and untouched - even has the original smog pump in place. It still has the original 3 speed manual transmission (three on the tree). It has power brakes (disc brakes in front), rear coil suspension, manual steering, and no AC. It has all the cool patina that everybody is looking for these days. Paint is original though the tailgate may have been sprayed at some point.  Everything works . . . the original AM radio, dash gauges and lights, heater, turn signals, etc.  It has good glass all around.  Cosmetically, I installed a new dash pad and had the seat professionally reupholstered with new foam, and installed new seat belts. Mechanically, it has new rear brakes, a new Bosch battery, new windshield wipers, and runs and stops well. Tires are decent. Bed has a bed liner in it.  It does have the usual rust in the rockers, cab corners, and cab floor but it has been coated in POR-15 so there's no problem. Even with the patina, everything is clean and serviceable - heck, my wife will even ride with me in the truck.  It goes down the highway just fine.

The truck is 40 years old and does have some quirks.  The gas cap can be fidgety to get on and off.  The right turn signal indicator light in the dash doesn't always come on but the outside signals do work correctly.  I replaced all the bulbs in the dash along with the printed circuit.  The gas gauge sometimes gets squirelly . . . I did replace the gauge and the sending unit.  Heater works but the air flow isn't super strong.  The truck was missing a couple pieces of trim which I replaced.  I think that's all the bugs that I am aware of.  I'm still tinkering with these little things . . . just wanted to call them out for full disclosure.

Please know what you are bidding on.  This is a 40 year old vintage truck as described.  Do not expect a pristine, perfect paint, Barrett-Jackson truck.  Buy this truck because it's an original big block truck that has the look and runs good.

This was a one owner truck when I bought it . . . I still have some of the documents and the Bible dated 1972 that the owner kept in the glove box of the truck since new. It could (should) be somebody's daily driver.  This truck has the right look and the right patina . . . you could drive this truck for ten years and still sell it for more than you paid for it.  Title is clear and in my name.  I am happy to work with your shipper.  Thanks for looking!

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.

Chevy bringing updated Equinox to Chicago

Fri, Feb 6 2015

An updated Chevy Equinox will be revealed at next week's Chicago Auto Show, the automaker confirmed Friday in a press release. The debut of the updated, 2016 Equinox comes on the heels of the midsize crossover – pictured above in its current, 2015-model-year form – posting its best January sales month ever. No details have been released, but Chevy did send out the teaser image you see at right, showing an updated front fascia with new headlamps and LED running lights. This update for the Equinox can't come soon enough. The midsize crossover segment is huge right now, and Chevy's player has largely been unchanged since the second-generation Equinox debuted in 2009. When asked about when we might see a tweaked version of the GMC Terrain – the Equinox's sibling – a General Motors spokesperson could not confirm any specific timing. In any case, we'll bring you all the official details of the new Equinox when it shows its updated face, next week.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
