 1969 Chevy 3/4 ton long bed PU.  I am the 2nd owner.  It was purchased new in SC, and I bought it from that family.  Truck has the original 307 engine with 3 speed manual (3OTT).  Mileage shows just over 44k, may have rolled over and be 144K- not sure.  Engine feels strong and seems to have good compression.  I have been updating/replacing any mechanical items that needed attention due to age.  Here's a list of recent work: 

  • New starter
  •  new fuel pump/filter
  •  new plugs & Taylor wires
  •  new belt
  •  Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with Brand new Summit 600 cfm carb w/electric choke and chrome Edelbrock air cleaner
  •  new Autogage tach
  •  new battery cables
  •  new brake hoses
  •  new HEI distributor
  •  radiator flushed and new coolant
  •  new brake fluid
  •  new carrier bearing for driveshaft.

Tires are in good shape with lots of tread.  This 3/4 ton can haul a load - it has the Eaton HO52 rear along with aftermarket helper airbags for load leveling and a trailer brake controller.  Mechanically everything is working good and the truck runs and drives good.  Fires up first try every time  The only thing I haven't tracked down is a faulty gas gauge - I think it may be the sending unit.

Cosmetically, still needs some TLC as expected for most of these old trucks.  There is some rust in the usual places, it needs cab corners/rockers.  Some small spots where kick panel meets floor. Floor is solid, as is roof and driprail.  The bed has the metal floor.  All in all the truck is solid.  Seat needs a recover.

Have been restoring it and getting ready for paint/interior.  Priorities have changed and I need to move this one out.  Thanks for looking, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
