This was my fathers truck, he purchased it in Missoula, MT in 1972. It is a heavy duty 3/4 ton that came with 17" factory split rim wheels (they are still on the truck). The original 327 engine busted a valve lifter and busted the block. The block was replaced with a used 305, I believe it still has the 327 heads. The engine runs strong and starts very easily. When it sits for weeks without being started you need to dump a little gas in the air cleaner...so it needs carburetor attention. The transmission and transfer case shift correctly, it does have that classic Chevy whine in 4th gear, but it has been there since dad bought it in 1972. It does cough and run out of power accelerating in 4th gear, I think it's a carburetor or distributor issue. In 1st through 3rd gears it seems to have plenty of power. The engine sounds good, idles great and seems to run strong. The gauges and tachometer work. The tires are miss-matched and in poor condition, but they hold air. The miss matched tires make it hard to get out of 4 wheel drive in these old trucks. I'm not sure if anyone will change tires on the old split rims anymore, but 17 inch rims and tires are popular today (as a kid in the 70's and 80's I recall that tires for the pickup were a hard find). I don't know what model transfer case / gear ratios etcetera. That's all original though. The truck hasn't been driven much in the last 20 years, maybe a couple hundred miles a year around my parents house hauling firewood or some gravel etc. The body is pretty darn straight for it's age. It has the usual rust in the corners of the cab and the driver floor board is rusted through and needs replaced. The tailgate isn't straight. The floor of the bed is solid but not straight, it took a pretty good sized load of gravel to make this heavy duty truck squat. There is a small dent in the left front fender above the tire. The side of the box, just behind the left rear tire is curled under because a wheel came off one time (loose lug nuts). The saddle gas tanks were added when dad bought it, but they haven't been used in the last 20 years, so I'm sure they need a good cleaning etc before being used again. I think the pictures show the condition pretty well. The interior is good, the dash top is weathered and wrinkled from the sun. The seat covers have been on for as long as I can remember, the seat covers are pretty worn, I don't know what the original seat material looks like or what condition it is in. I think this is a good candidate for restoration. It's sharp looking truck, the heavy duty front end / hubs and the 17" tires make it look tough (in my opinion). My plan was to restore it and keep it, but I (maybe my wife) realized that I don't have the time and garage space to do the restoration. So, I was told that I have decided to let it go to someone who is willing to do it justice. I have started the bid pretty reasonable and there is no reserve. The truck is listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction. There is no warranty. It's the buyers responsibility for shipping. I will try to help in any way I can. The truck is in Corvallis Montana, it's right next to a state highway so loading onto a trailer etc will be easy. Please don't bid if you have no feedback. Be willing and able to pay. Thanks for looking. |

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
