I apologize for the one-paragraph nature of this description. Ebay has screwed the seller again by taking away the ability to format. I have for sale a 1998 Chevy Silverado. I bought this truck earlier this year and just do not need it. It is in great shape mechanically and there are no issues with it. I have a company truck now that makes this vehicle unnecessary.
The body is nearly perfect. The rockers and cab corners are solid and do not appear to ever have been repaired. The young man who had it before me sanded and sprayed the top of the rockers to eliminate the possibility for rust while he had it. That's why they look flatter than the rest. The only spot rust is appearing is under the weather-stripping at the bottom of the doors. There are small scratches on the driver door. They affected the color coat only.
The interior is very nice. The driver's seat is the only place that shows wear. All the rest of the upholstery is in excellent condition. The steering wheel looks like it got sunbaked once upon a time. It's cosmetic only and you can see it in my pictures but it's important to me that I point it out.
2 things the truck needs:
• I was going to have the front end aligned when I got the truck but it needs new tires so I'll let the new owner have it aligned after tires are mounted.
• The headlamp switch should be replaced. This is a quick and easy fix but I don't keep the truck at my house and my job requires lots of travel so I'm not going to take the time to do it. Switches can be had for $40 easily.
Other:
• The "service engine" light stays on. This is because the catalytic converter has so many miles on it and it has no effect on the performance of the truck. I had my mechanic check it out and shut it off when I first got it but it came on again when I let it idle for about 20 minutes once.
After reading over my description I think I've been pretty hard on this truck. Rest assured this is a very nice looking and driving vehicle from one of GM's best design years. The truck has been stored inside since the pictures were taken.
Please contact me with any questions.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes
Thu, Feb 5 2015General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward
Mon, Feb 3 2014The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.
