I am listing my 1971 short bed project for sale. I have owned it for a few years now and have lost interest. All the parts included are good useable parts. I spent a couple of years looking for good, original parts. My goal was to use as few aftermarket parts as possible. All the sheet metal is genuine GM and in good shape. The doors and fenders have had the bodywork done on the outside. The inner parts are mostly stripped, but need a little more work to be ready to paint. I have all the inside parts for the doors- The regulators, vent windows, and door glass. I also have the rear window, but don't have a windshield. The radiator support is very solid and has no rust in the area under the battery. The hood is just as I bought it. It needs a few dings fixed, but is straight and solid. The cab is from a 1971 GMC and I do have the title to it. It had been repaired by the person I bought it from. He put in cab corners, inner and outer rockers, and he boxed in the cab mounts. He also added an A/C dash and the a/c portion of the firewall. I thought he did a pretty good job until I mounted the doors and realized the body line didn't match up. It will need another set of cab corners installed to fix this. The inside of the cab and firewall have been painted hugger orange. I have a gallon of PPG deltron DBC basecoat paint that I bought to start painting the insides of the fender, doors, hood, etc. that will be included. The bed needs some work, but it doesn't have any rust holes. one bedside has most of the bodywork done. The other side has had 2 bedsides cut in half to try to make one. It is tacked in place and needs welded up and the bodywork finished, or will just need a new bedside if you don't want to finish it. The bed floor is pretty solid, but is a little wavy and has some pitting that could turn into pinholes if you were to sandblast it. The supports underneath are solid. I have a good rust free tailgate. It is straight, but will need a few dings fixed. The chassis has been rebuilt. I took it down to a bare frame, blasted it, sprayed it with Por15, then reassembled it using the following new parts: 4 new ball joints, new control arm shafts and bushings, idler arm, pitman arm, front and rear stock height springs, two awesome used trailing arms I ordered from arizona, trailing arm bushings, brand new track arm with bushings and probably a few other things I have forgotten. The rear end is not a posi and is a 3.08 ratio. The front end needs tie rod ends to be complete. I will include all the new brake parts I have. This includes 2 front calipers, 2 rear wheel cylinders, wagner themo quiet front pads, wearever rear shoes, and all the rear brake hardware. There is a 307 engine and th350 engine bolted in. They both work, but the project is not running at this time. It basically needs everything hooked up. Includes a one piece driveshaft. I have alot of the parts needed to put it back together and will include everything I have. Some of the parts I know I am missing are the radiator, the A/C parts, inner fenders, brake lines, tie rod ends, instrument cluster, windshield, weather stripping, exhaust, bumpers, and probably a few other things I have forgotten. It has a set of 15x8 rally wheels with new take off genuine GM center caps and good original trim rings. The tires are brand new goodyears with no miles that I bought new about a year ago. Let me know if you have any questions or need any other pictures.

2015 Chevy Silverado Custom Sport is subtle in black
Mon, Jan 12 2015In a world where trucks are growing bigger, bolder grilles and more muscle-bound looks, Chevrolet is trying something a bit different with its recently revealed Custom Sport edition for the 2015 Silverado at the this year's Detroit Auto Show. The edition leans on being understated, instead of screaming about its abilities. The design is supposed to be a throwback to the Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late '60s that brought a touch of elegance to these usually utilitarian vehicles at the time. The heart of the package is its monochromatic body-color touches for the bumpers and grille surround. The one on display at the show is especially attractive with a chrome-accented black grille that fits perfectly with the rest of the body. The edition does get a bit more shine with chrome covering the 20-inch wheels, door handles, mirror caps and side moldings. In addition, buyers get projector beam headlights, tow hooks and heated power mirrors. The custom package is available on the LT trim in black or white and on the LTZ in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Take a look at this monochromatic take on the Silverado as it sits in the Motor City. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today.
GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China
Fri, Jul 5 2019BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.  New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
