 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super 20, Ochre paint, 130K original miles, 3 owner truck, 350ci, manual transmission, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM push button radio, tented glass.  This is a very nice original truck and as you can tell from the pictures it is in very good condition.  The truck is a true three owner truck with all the documentation to prove the owner history as well as miles.  The truck comes with the original protecto plate and many if not every receipt of work completed to the truck over the last 42years.  The truck retains most, if not all, of its original sheet metal. The hood, cab, tailgate and one of the front fenders is the original paint from the factory.  The interior is original except for the bench seat was recovered a few years ago.  However the seat still looks very nice and matches the truck well.  Most of the trim is in very nice condition, however a few pieces have been screwed to the sheet metal to hold them in place.  To my knowledge everything works on the truck except the radio.  Even the AC works, which still uses the old R12 refrigerant and an extra can is included in the sell.   All the weather stripping is in excellent condition as well.  This truck is a true time capsule from 1972, and would look great in anyone’s collection.  I was certainty excited to add it to my collection.  Unfortunately my wife does not share the same enthusiasm, hence this ebay listing.  I am only selling to keep the peace at home!

Please view all the pictures and ask questions.  I can email additional pictures if needed.  I am the owner and I have the clear IL title in my name.  The buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping.  The truck is located in Casey, IL 62420.  Also the truck is for sale locally therefore I reserve the right to end the auction anytime.  Do not bid if you have zero feedback I will cancel your bid, contact me first.  A $250.00 non-refundable deposit is required 48 hours after the sale.  The balance is due before the truck will be released.  Again ask questions I will do my best to answer.  There is no warranty implied or otherwise Sold as Is.  Thank you for your interest!

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
