1977 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup on 2040-cars
Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States
|
This truck belonged to my Grandfather who bought it new in 1977 from Burwell Chevrolet in Spartanburg, SC. He had an older, 60's model Chevrolet truck and someone ran a red light and totaled it so he bought this one. I rode in it many times as a teenager and remember the day he bought it. He had a small farm and worked at a local cotton mill and drove this truck to work everyday. After he passed away it became my fathers who drove it very little. For several years the truck sat outside and caused the paint to fade on the top of the truck. We took it to a local detail shop who did a great job cleaning it up but their buffer almost burned through the paint on two spots on the hood. You can see these spots in the pictures. The paint is all original and in pretty good shape. I tried to take as many pictures as possible. There are small black specks on the hood of the truck from where is sat outside, again, recently. It looks like something that fell out of the trees. I waxed it and many of them came off. I think some good polishing compound with some elbow grease would get the rest off. The door frame on the drivers and passengers side have significant scratching. Again, I tried to take detailed pictures. The interior is in great shape. Daddy thinks it is the original seat cover is original but I seem to remember my Grandfather having it re-covered. Regardless it is very clean and nice inside. Everywhere I drive the truck people comment on it and how good it looks to be so old. It runs good. Within the last two years Daddy has had significant work done including: New radiator, New AC components, New hoses, New shocks, and a New carburetor. Take a look at the pictures and if you need more let me know. If you have FaceTime I would be happy to do a live walk around and show you everything in as much detail as possible and answer any questions.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A 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?
