Up for auction is a 1986 GMC shortbed 4WD.  I will try to describe it as accuraely as possible.  Body:  My rating for the body would be fairly solid.  If you are planning on painting the truck I would put on front fenders, outer rockers, and either patch panels or complete bed sides.  They are available in my area for about 300.00 each.  The rust in the rockers and cab corners has only infected the outer portion.  I drove this truck through the winter.  I have photographed all the bad areas of the truck. 

Interior:  The interior looks to be fairly original.  The cab interior is midnight blue.  The seat needs covered, and it needs a new mat or carpeting.  The door panels are nice enough to be re-dyed.  The temp. gauge in the dash does not work, and the speedometer cable is broken.  Both easy fixes, I am just short on time.  Kenwood  detatchable plate CD player in dash, works fine.  The dash has one of the black covers on it, I am sure the original dash underneath is cracked and broken.

Glass:  All glass intact and in good working order.  No breaks or cracks.  Typical scratches from use, and rolling windows up and down.  Rear slider works find.

Drivetrain:  I consider this the strong point of the truck.  The fresh 4 bolt 350 has under 5000 miles on it.  I estimate this because the oil hasn't got dirty yet.  It has a steel crank, flat top pistons and a mild cam, head, and intake combo for pulling and torque.  K&N air filter, and chrome valve covers.  Quadrajet carb.  Reliable, and starts great even in cold weather.  No pumping and pumping to start.  It's right.  It is backed by a turbo 350 that has no issues, with a new process transfer case.  If you notice from the pictures the truck has the more desirable truck 12 bolt in the rear.  No issues with the drivetrain and everything works as it should. 

Wheels-tires-lift:  These items are under two years old.  Four inch suspension lift with polyurethane bushings, new springs, shocks.  Tires are about 60% and are 35x12.50x15.  The wheels are ten inches wide, and have no curbing, marks or even wheel weight marring.  They could use some hand polishing from where I drove the truck through the winter. They are very nice. 

Exhaust:  Truck has headers that leak a little at the collectors.  (imagine that)  The rest of the exhause is pre bent ordered flowmaster 31/2 inch.  Sounds great.

This is a pretty nice truck for the year in my area.  Even though it needs some paint and body work, it still turns a few heads on the way to Lowe's.  My reason for selling is too many projects to fund, and not a lot of time.  Please feel free to ask questions or call at 304.578.1107.  Thanks for looking.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.

Black Friday could power record November sales

Thu, Nov 26 2015

Black Friday allows some shoppers to line up in the wee hours for doorbuster deals on laptops and TVs, but the day after Thanksgiving could mean huge profits for automakers this year, too. Multiple industry analysts predict record growth for the industry for November, and the upcoming incentives could help those numbers. TrueCar predicts that Black Friday incentives could provide a major boost, and it estimates a November sales jump of 3.9 percent from last year to a record for the month at over 1.35 million vehicles. As examples of potential deals, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC plan to offer up to 20 percent off some models, and FCA US has no-interest financing for up to 75 months from its brands. "Consumers are excited about Black Friday promotions and these month-long events appear to be resonating with car buyers." Eric Lyman, TrueCar's vice president of industry insights, said in the report. Black Friday only recently became a big day for auto sales, according to an analysis from Edmunds. Last year, Thanksgiving weekend posted double the sales as any other weekend in the month. The company predicts a sales volume of over 1.33 million vehicles for November. If that happens, it would be the beat the previous record of 1.32 million sales for the same month in 2001. Some forecasts temper the gains for November but only slightly. Kelley Blue Book predicts flat year-over-year sales at 1.3 million vehicles, but that's largely because there are two fewer sales days in 2015 versus in 2014. "Black Friday deals on vehicles have grown in popularity in recent years, and should be a big contributor to this month's sales results," said analyst Tim Fleming in the study. The combined research from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive have the lowest November prediction among this group at just over 1.279 million sales for the month versus 1.299 million in 2014. However, once the researchers adjust the figures for the two fewer selling days, 2015 could actually be seven percent higher than last year. TrueCar Finds New Auto Sales in November to Reach Monthly Record Black Friday promotions bolster sales gains; industrywide incentives up 6% from last year November 24, 2015 12:11 PM Eastern Standard Time SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE) projects total new vehicle sales, including fleet deliveries, will reach 1,352,500 units in November, a 3.9 percent increase from a year ago and the highest ever for the month.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
