This truck was custom ordered from the factory in 1977 and delivered in July of 1978. The former owner bought it from the original owner ten years ago, had it repainted four years ago, had the transmission and engine completely rebuilt 3 years ago, and was having the interior redone when the man working on it passed away. The engine does need some cleaning. It is still "Corporate Blue". The paint is closer to factory than most factory paint jobs, and I have all the original trim excluding one of the interior Silverado Custom door bezels. The former owner had to leave after the rebuilt, and it wound up sitting for two years with brand new tires and less than 100 miles on the rebuilt. The former owner put a Tomco remanned Rochester equipped Quadrajet Carburetor. It has gotten a brand new starter, a new Wix Fuel Filter and air filter and a brand new Airtex (by Federal Mogul) fuel pump. The only aftermarket modifications the former owner made include a new hood, a Rhino-Liner bed liner, a billet aluminum grill, a GM approved heavier duty tailgate, bucket seats, chrome bed caps, beauty rings and a red and black bowtie hold down on the brether.

The cons are that the interior never got finished, the former owner kept all but one piece of the trim, which means it needs a headliner and carpet. It needs driven. The hood needs to be reinforced on the driver side and the paint has a few minor scratches. No rust. The pick-up was always driven in Arkansas. The A/C is not installed, but is in the cabin.

The truck needs some TLC and above described interior parts need to be installed.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
