2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, 6.6 Lbz Duramax, 6 Speed Allison, Flatbed, Dually on 2040-cars

2006 Chevy Silverado 3500 pickup, 6.6 LBZ Duramax, 6 Speed Allison Automatic, 2 wheel drive. This started life as a cab and chassis pickup that was used as a delivery vehicle for a nearby NAPA auto parts store. They ran it for 329,000 miles and then hit a deer with it. They had a ranch hand replacement bumper on it when they hit the deer, so the damage really didn't look too bad. Unfortunately, the grille guard rolled back into the hood hard enough that it leaned the radiator support back and the fan hit the radiator. I have a body shop and also help out on the family farm, so I bought it, and fixed it myself just to use as a puller for the farm and a service truck. I replaced the hood, left fender, grille, radiator support, radiator, transmission cooler, and all the transmission lines with new OEM parts. The lights were out of another pickup I had, and I traded the damaged ranch hand bumper for the stock bumper that is currently on it. There was no frame damage other than the bumper brackets that are welded to the end of the frame. I straightened those and the bumper lines up nice. I had a friend of mine build the flatbed for it. In my opinion, he over built it as far as materials go. There were no box mounts on the frame from the factory, so instead of fabricating mounts, he welded in to the frame. It isn't welded the whole length of the frame, just every so often. It wouldn't really take much to cut the bed loose and build some proper mounts for it, but it works just fine for how I use it, and I really don't have time to change it myself. It is very heavy and was built to pull large gooseneck trailers. It's 10 1/2 ft long.
The pickup, as a whole, is in excellent condition, inside and out. The interior is very clean, and has no rips or tears in the seats. It has the work truck package, so it has a rubber floor mat, manual windows, door locks, and just the basic am/fm radio, and no cruise control. It does have air conditioning though, and it is ICE cold. I serviced the ac system while everything was apart and works awesome! The body is very clean and straight and looks very nice for a pickup with 200,000 fewer miles on it. The front tires are highway tread firestones and are probably 50%. The rear tires are pretty much new. They are retreads with an aggressive offroad tread pattern and probably have 2000 miles on them. The windshield is new and so are both batteries. I put dual post batteries in this when the originals finally went. They have a little higher CCA and they are nicer for jump starting other vehicles. The pickup starts, runs, and drives nice. It currently has 330,800 miles on it (I haven't driven it a lot since fixing it. I usually just drive it when I haul hay, or cattle. I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if there's any interest. It's a perfect pickup for the way I've been using it, but it's kind of a shame to have it sitting as often as it does.
The only real problems that exist, if you even want to call them that, are the front shocks, and the filler neck for the rear fuel tank. The shocks seem to float when I back it out of the shop. You really don't notice as much on the road due to the weight of the motor. The rear filler neck was mounted too flat to get fuel in it. If you run the back tires up on a block of wood you can still get fuel in it, but the front tank is plenty big enough on it's own.
I tried to describe this to the best of my ability, but you are definitely encouraged to ask questions, and come look at it in person if you're close enough to justify doing so. Also, if there is something in particular that you would like a picture of just let me know. The easiest way for me to get them to you is to text them. If you're interested and would like to look at it in person, it is located near Carpenter, SD. I have a pretty flexible schedule and could show it pretty much anytime. My name is Alex and you can call or text me at 605-350-2439.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair
Mon, Dec 19 2016In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."
