1969 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Base 4.1l on 2040-cars
Graham, North Carolina, United States
Condition: I bought this truck 2 years ago with intent to fully restore while using. Previous owner did the same thing so the truck has had excellent maintenance and upkeep. Maintenance since 2008: New muffler, new tailpipe, new rear transmission seal, new (both) front brake hoses, new (both) front wheel brakes, new upper and lower ball joints, new front coil springs, new front and rear KYB shocks, 4 wheel alignment, 4 new Dayton Timberline tires (31 by 10.5 LT15), new brake master cylinder, new heavy duty radiator, new starter, new clutch kit/ring gear, new pressure plate and throw out bearing, resurfaced flywheel, replaced rear gear oil, new drive shaft u-joints and yoke, balanced drive shaft, factory seat recovered (factory beige), new plugs/points/condenser, set dwell and timing, adjusted carburator, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new valve cover, new valve cover gasket, replaced all valve stem seals, new lifter cover gasket,new driver's door window regulator, new distributor gasket, new oil pan gasket, new front and rear crankshaft seals, new engine mounts, new oil pressure switch, new breather element, new heavy duty battery (10/27/11). The truck is in excellent mechanical condition and is driven locally about once per month. It's always garaged and never driven in the elements. It has factory paint with some spray touchup on left side and white cab top (not immediately noticeable). No damage history. All factory chrome. It has minor surface rust in the bed and top rails of bed. Passenger side rocker panel (under door) has some paint bubling and one rust hole 1cm dia. Serious restorer will want to replace the entire rocker panel. All glass is good (no cracks), factory windshield has some fogging around left/lower/right periphery. Horn does not work. When I back out of my garage there are usually 0-4 dime size drops of dried fluid (oil?) on the floor but otherwise no oil leakage/usage. On full cold heater still puts out a little heat. Passenger side window regulator works but is stiff and could use replacing. All lights, gages, clusters, vents, wipers, etc work just fine. I've tried to list here everything that should be considered, and if I've not mentioned it, then it works. It also has a factory heavy duty rear bumper with a lockable spare tire jackscrew for raising/lowering. I'm including the aluminum bed tool box. It has 66,137 original miles. History: Based on previous owner's info, I believe I'm the 5th or 6th owner. I bought it from a private seller in Chattanooga, TN May 2012 and drove it home 4 hours on I-40 at 65-70 mph (13 mpg). He bought it from a friend site unseen and had it shipped to TN from Wyoming or Idaho in 2008. It was originally sold by Scott Chevrolet, Oklahoma City, OK on 8/25/1969. I have the original New Vehicle Warranty and Owner Protection Plan card and dealer plate imprint. I have the original 1969 Owner's Manual that came with the truck (excellent condition), along with the plastic sleeve it came in. I also have all maintenance records for maintenance I've listed. Great truck. Pleasure to drive. Features: It does not have a radio...never did. Manual steering, No a/c. It comes with a cab-mounted fire extinguisher, spare tire, hydraulic bottle jack, and the pictured aluminum bed tool box. Shipping: Buyer responsible for and to pay all shipping costs. |

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]
Mon, Oct 19 2015UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
