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?).

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
