1970 Chevy Blazer full size with full removable halftop. First Generation, 350 v8, automatic trans TH 350, NP 205 transfer case, 4wd. This incredibly fun truck starts, drives, shifts, turns, stops as it should. I would feel comfortable driving this truck across the country. All lights (interior and exterior) work as they should, turn signals, wipers, fuel guage, speedo etc all work fine. 4wd works as it should. Always been very reliable for me. THis vehicle is NO show truck, it is a toy meant for fun. Body is rough but solid, except for one area under the vehicle on the driver's side. I replaced the rockers both sides and the floors both sides but just did not get around to the above mentioned area. Could certainly use a paint job, I just rattle canned any areas i replaced to keep it from rusting. Also installed auto loc shaved door kit with new bear claw latches and remote key fob to pop the doors open (this is why you can see rattle can paint job on doors). Truck sits on 35x14.5 super swamper radials (these cost between $300-375 each) with a 6" lift kit, springs up front and blocks in the back. Recently replaced wheel cylinders, brand new radiator/hoses, newer seats and carpet. Blazer is a full convertible, I usually only drive it in the good weather so I got rid of the huge/heavy full fiberglass top and replaced it with a custom halftop I used when the weather is less than perfect. Comes off in a few minutes, I can do it myself without issue. Can't think of much else right now, i'm sure i'm forgeting a lot but feel free to email or text with questions or to request additional pics. Tom @ tomderby9@gmail.com or 484-682-3923. Never fails to get a thumbs up or comment whenever you take it out, great fun for a whatever you want to do. I take it to the park with my mountain bike in the back, pick up stuff from home depot etc, just cruise around with the roof off you really can't go wrong. As everyone says, do not really want to sell but just moved and no longer have a garage for it. Like i said, its no show truck by any means but you will love driving it. This can be a restoration project or you can just drive it like it is or even tinker with it here and there when you get the itch to do something.
Vehicle sold as is with no warranty. Will accept cash or money order. Will ship at buyer's expense but would prefer local sale...I can meet somewhere in the middle if the price is right but please get my ok before bidding if you want me to drive it somewhere. Please feel free to contact me and schedule a time to check it out in person if you would like. My contact info is above.

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series
Thu, Apr 9 2015Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
