1979 Chevy K-10 Pickup Truck with Automatic V8 400 cu in (6.6L) 4x4 Short Bed and Factory Lift.  Tires have less than 2,000 miles.  Runs great, no issues starting.  Engine needs to be revved for about 20 seconds on a cold start.  Has manual wheel locks on front wheels to allow 4x2 or 4x4 operation.  Battery replaced in 2013.  Has a plug for an oil pan heater, have never used.  Truck's original owner was from Wisconsin. This is an old truck and thus has some issues which I am doing my best to disclose below:


Mileage- odometer says 58k but does not track hundreds of thousands.  I do not know exact mileage but my guess is 258k.
Speedometer- speedo works but appears to be over estimating speed (55mph is really 45mph)
Body Rot- quite a bit of body rot, see pictures for details
1 of the 2 gas tanks inoperable- one of the 2 gas tanks has a leak, i have never used it.  The other works fine and holds plenty of fuel.  I cannot speak to whether the gas tank switch works as I have only used one tank.
Driver side interior door handle broken- I roll down window and open door from exterior.
Passenger side door latch broken- passenger side door latch stopped catching, wont remain closed.  I have tow strapped the door shut and had to remove the interior door panel to do so.  Panel and screws are included with car.
Passenger side window handle broken- broke the window handle taking the interior panel off, simple replacement
No car stereo
Fan switch not mounted to dash- fan high low switch is wired but has popped out of its spot on the dash
Interior in rough shape- dash cracking, upholstery tears (see pics)
Battery strap broken-strapped with a tow strap to keep it in place (works fine)

The truck runs great.  I use it to haul stuff from the home improvement store and have towed a boat with it.  Would make a great plow truck or farm truck.  Price reflects the condition it is in.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
