1988 Chevy S-10 Pickup (ex Us Airforce Truck) on 2040-cars
South Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is my ex US airforce S-10 this truck has 43510 original miles on it most of its time was sitting on one of several airforce bases first on the east coast when new then sent to grissom AFB in central Indiana where picked up from. I then had to put a fuel pump in and had the fuel tank cleaned out of all the old stale gasoline added a new battery, door weather stripping, window felt and tracks, tires, carpet and heater core. The truck has a 2.5 liter four cylinder engine hooked up to a 700R4 overdrive trans the truck drives great its not a power plant but gets great fuel mileage and I wouldn't hesitate to drive this anywhere in the US. The color is the original airforce strata blue as seen in the pics the clear coat is gone on the hood and roof from sitting out in the sun for years the paint has many dings and small scratches there is a bit of rust on the cab corners and the corner of the DS door but no holes or rust through. Its pretty hard to find a truck like this in the Midwest and shipping a rust free one from the west coast is now well over a thousand dollars. Its a very reliable truck and the only reason its being sold is because I just purchased a full size classic chevy truck and have no room for it as for the price try to buy a truck now days with the low mileage and clean body this truck has in the Midwest you would be lucky to get one at three times the price if you are looking for a show truck or a truck to haul a five thousand pound boat and trailer this is not the truck you want if you want a truck you can drive anywhere economically and not worry about breaking down this is the perfect vehicle. I have hauled paver bricks and firewood with this truck and it handles the weight better than one would expect it to there is no cracked or broken glass anywhere on the truck. You can see the PS window crank is not on the truck in the pics the clip was lost when removiving the door panel for installing the window felt channel s it will be replaced before the truck sells. It also comes with the original matching fiberglass cap and two spare tires one window is out of the cap it was broken from a rock thrown from a snowblower this truck has been heavily undercoated sometime in its past it has a military spec 20 gallon gas tank and heavy duty suspension the truck is up for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if it should sell locally any questions call me at eight four seven four six eight nine six seven six.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic 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.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
