For auction is a 1966 Chevrolet C20 longbed pickup truck. The truck is 3/4 ton with a 292 straight 6 engine, 4-on-the-floor. Runs and drives, was a daily driver. It will get the job done, but it won't win any beauty contests while doing so.

The guts:

The truck has never given me any problems with starting or running. The engine is strong, but gives a little miss if you quickly punch it to the floor. Here is a quick video of me starting her up, and giving it that little punch. It's never been a problem while driving, I suspect it's a timing thing. The truck leaks a lot of oil, it will need gaskets all around if you value your driveway. It has a new alternator, new starter, has had the same battery in it since at least 2009 when I bought it, needs new battery cables and there is some crummy stuff around the top of the radiator sometimes. Other than that, I'm not really sure about the rest, as I'm not terribly mechanically inclined. The back brakes have been totally replaced, but the front ones need to be done. I haven't looked, but judging by the condition of the back brakes when I did them, a whole overhaul should be done on the front.

The exterior:

Rust-Oleum flat black. The exterior is in need of restoration, as there are numerous dents and small rust holes (and one possible puncture hole?) throughout the bed and body. There are rust bubbles in what the truck guys call the "usual areas," for these old trucks, meaning the lower fenders, corners of the doors. The holes for the chrome (which is missing) are filled in on the passenger side. The wood and rails in the bed are totally shot. The previous owner cut out plywood to lay down in the bed, so it is useable for truck stuff. I bought a new windshield and gasket in 2009 when I bought it the truck, and it is still in perfect condition. The rear window is probably original and pretty scratched, the side windows and wind wings are not cracked. The rear tires were purchased in 2011 and the front tires were purchased a few months later.

The interior:

There is The floor liner is torn on the driver's side, and the bench seat is torn on the driver's side, however the seat back is intact. The inside of the cab has been sprayed Rust-Oleum satin black, with a blue-green for the accents. There is no radio, there is a heater. New dome light, new turn signal assembly.

The story:

In 2009 we needed a reliable, large truck for making trips to the home improvement store while we renovated our house. We hauled everything from pallets of tiles and bricks, to lumber, to stacks of drywall 20 sheets high in the back of this truck and she never batted an eye. The truck was my daily driver up until May 2013. Now that we're done working on the house, and I have secured a cushy job that allows me to work from home, we have no need for a heavy duty pickup, and would like to move to something smaller (while we're at it, you know anybody selling a 67-72 Blazer?).

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

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.
