I have owned this truck since 1981. I purchased it in Reno, Nevada and it was originally sold in Reno. I have used it for a daily driver, hunting, and all of the other things trucks are used for but I have always over-maintained it and taken exceptional care of the truck. It has been garaged for all but 2 of the 33 years I've owned it. As you can see by the listing it has about 275,000 miles. I purchased it with 41,157 miles. As is indicated, I have only driven the truck about 17,000 miles in the last 10 years. I bought another truck in 2007 and only drive this truck occasionally now. It has taken me quite a few years to come to the point where I can finally consider selling it. It has been a great truck for me. Many of the drivetrain components have been replaced over the years and I have maintenance records to show when the repairs were done. My maintenance records are detailed and include receipts. Have the build sheet out of the original seat in fair condition. I have completed most of the maintenance myself. It has surface rust on the undercarriage as shown in the photos. I removed a dime sized rust spot on the passenger door 8 or so years ago by cutting the metal away and replacing it with new metal. As the same time I coated the lower body side with 3M Rocker Schutz coating to resist paint chips before the final paint was applied. A few years before that, I cut ventilation areas in the bottom of the rocker areas behind the front doors to prohibit water collection and arrest rust formation. Rust preventative was applied and rust that had begun to appear in those areas has not progressed in over 10 years. I will provide photos if there is concern about rust on the truck. Engine/Drivetrain 7/2004 258,571 Mles
The front and rear differential gears are stock. They are 4.10 gear ratio and both differentials are open. I have always changed the gear oil and replaced seals as necessary. The 4-wheel-dirve works well. Lock the hubs and shift it in, no issues. I had the shifter professionally shortened in order to provide more center seat leg room. The shortened lever does not affect the ability to shift to 4wd.
Brakes; Front got new calipers, pads, and hardware at 245,632. Rear; always checked and maintained. Tires; New BFG Radial Mud Terrain LT/255/85R16 at 262,981. Alcoa OEM alloy wheels from newer style Chevrolet HD pickup. New Steering Gear at 240,666. Anti-sway bar added to front axle to improve cornering. Also has steering stabilizer. New Vortex mufflers at approximately 270,000. Front seat out of newer Chevrolet pickup. Cloth upholstery with headrests and integral seat belts. Seat is bolted through floor to steel plate that connects front and rear bolts. After-market cruise control that works but has issues on some settings. Accessories:
Comes with the following: Original Chevrolet owner, service, and assembly manuals, Chilton's service manual, original steering wheel in good condition, additional tailgate guard, other miscellaneous parts. Oil changed at 274,492 a couple of weeks ago. Mobil 1 Full Syn 10w-30. I have tried to describe the truck the best I can. It runs good and drives nice. It is a very nice example of a well maintained truck, some might consider it babied. It is not perfect and is not a show truck as I have never restored it. I can be contacted with any questions and will be happy to provide honest answers to the best of my ability.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing
Tue, Sep 29 2015The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
