I acquired this 1972 Chevrolet C-30 truck from its original owner this past summer. He bought the truck new in Pulaski VA in 1972 and used it sparingly as his farm truck thus keeping the miles low. The truck has just 22,272 original miles on it! The truck is equipped with its original 350 and 4spd trans. It has power brakes and manual steering.  The truck has not been tampered with or altered mechanically, it runs great! The truck originally had a flatbed on it; the original owner removed the flatbed and installed the dump bed that is on it now. The dump bed works as it should if you chose to keep it as a dump truck.

The truck is an excellent project vehicle, it needs restoration to be first class or give it a good tune up, install a new set of tires and use it as is. The brakes feel good and the trans. shifts great. The tires are old and very dry rotted, fronts are the originals. I have only driven the truck a few miles down the road; it drives good however I would not recommend diving it any distance, it should be hauled.

The cab is in very good condition, some light rust in the cab corners and rh rocker panel, cab mounts and floors are good! The rear of the frame was cut when the dump bed was installed, this would be easy to repair with the rear section of frame from another truck if you choose to change the bed. This is the 157” wheel base, the longest available on a one ton truck in 72; it is an excellent candidate for a car hauler.

I try to give an accurate description of the vehicle, if you have any questions please ask. If you need more pictures I will get them. This is an original one owner truck, still has its original 1972 title. It is a project vehicle that will need to be towed. It is being sold as-is where-is. A $250 deposit is due within 24 hours, the balance in 7 days. The truck should be removed within two weeks unless prior arrangements have been made, I will work with the new owner the best that I can. This is a no reserve auction, the truck will sell to the highest bidder!

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek'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.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
