Up for sale is a 1968 C10 Shortbed truck that was rebuilt around five years ago and is a great driver. VIN decodes as an original V8 2WD truck out of the Fremont, CA plant. Clean 350 motor (010 casting) has less than 15k miles on it and just had a 200r4 overdrive transmission installed about three months ago by Danny's in Greensboro, NC with a new B&M Mega shifter (have receipt for trans/converter/driveshaft & install for $1,750, has a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty that started when installed in April).  Trans was built with aftermarket clutches, converter and TCI lockup kit.  Driveshaft was shortened and rebalanced with a new yoke. Trans shifts into overdrive too early for my liking so I use the B&M shifter to manually shift from drive to overdrive. Motor has a new Edelbrock 600 carb with electric choke, Edelbrock aluminum Performer intake, new Chevrolet valve covers, new distributor cap, new rotor, new button, new plugs & plug wires, new starter, new hoses & clamps and a new Cadillac air breather. Truck has new ceramic coated mid-length headers and 2 1/2 exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers that dump at the axle. Interior was redone at the the time of the rebuild and has very little wear and tear if any. Front seat was completely reupholstered and new black carpet installed.  Has brand new front and rear chrome bumpers, brand new side maker lens, brand new taillight and reverse lens as well. The paint shows well and is in pretty good shape but there is a little body work showing. Mainly where the gas cap was smoothed, spot on the front of the passenger fender, two spots on the hood and a few nicks here and there.  Nothing major but wanted to point it out so that a perfect paint job isn't expected. Fuel tank was removed from behind the seat and replaced with an in-bed RDS toolbox conversion tank ($700 bucks from Northern Tool). Nice conversion as it eliminates fuel odors from the cab and it holds 41-gallons, so you're not filling up for long road trips. Truck has power steering, power brakes and with the overdrive it cruises great down the highway at around 2,000 rpm.  Truck is currently daily driven at least 30 miles everyday and will continue to be driven till sold.  Please keep in mind this is not a show truck but is also not priced as one.  Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding, if anyone wants more pics or if you'd like to come and inspect the truck in person feel free to call me.

Thanks-

Also, below the VIN tag in the door jamb there is an additional tag that says:

5370 404
68 CHEV PU
LIGHT DEPT. 

Not sure if was possibly an original government issued truck or anything but had a guy view the truck last week that asked if I knew the significance and I'm not sure about it....maybe a C10 guru can chime in on some info.


Also, had plans of completing an LS / T56 swap but need to focus on other projects.  Available to winning bidder if interested, I have a LS1 aluminum block based 383 stroker with ported heads, FAST 92mm intake, Jesel rockers, custom Comp cam, 42lb injectors, etc that made 477rwhp on the dyno.  Also have some other swap parts available.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
