Up for sale is a 1961 V6 Chevy stepside truck. This is the three speed manual transmission shortbed model. A great project truck in great condition, so you can skip all the hard and expensive work of disassembling, replacing, and rebuilding the entire thing.

Front tires are brand new with only four or five miles on them but the rear tires are due for replacement.

It used to be a farm truck, and has also been on a few hunting trips as well so it has undoubtedly seen some wear. Despite the appearance this is a great little truck and fully capable of being so for many years to come, and does not have as much rust as appears, the pictures don't do justice. Before being painted black, the original color appears to have been a burnt orange brown and this is not rust. It seems the engine may not have had as many miles on it as many trucks that age. It is already in much better condition than it was when I found it. Drives very smoothly but may overheat on extremely hot days if driving at high speeds.

I originally intended to fully restore this but a change in jobs and lack of time and money has prevented me from this. It is currently parked on the street outside my front lawn as I lack a garage, and I would rather it be where it is protected and getting fixed up rather than left rotting in the elements, it's just too pretty and unique to be left to that.

The engine is in very good and running shape, with no appearance of rust damage or bad fixing jobs. All the seals are good, and after installing new points, plugs, starting mechanism, battery, and tune up the thing started right up.

The brakes are stuck! I haven't had the time or means to fix that, so I recommend towing it home, if not on your own than for hire.

The only thing that needs a lot of work is the exterior, particularly around the doors where there is significant rust and damage from neglect and shoddy repair.

The original wood bed is in definite need of replacement, rotted out and covered by a piece of ply board that is itself rotted out.

This predates power steering and power brakes, you'll have to put a little push into maneuvering it. It also lacks air conditioning, and originally a radio, this is a very basic old truck. Currently, there is a radio that was retrofitted by a previous owner, but no speakers connected to it. The fan is not working but after being professionally checked almost everything, including the heater are perfectly intact and a very easy fix.

Transport or shipping is NOT included in the price or listing, and I'm not sure how to go about reaching businesses that specialize in this, so you'll have to arrange that on your own. There are quite a few websites that offer price compare and allow bids from multiple services to ship it to you for the desired rates.

If you have any further questions or are nearby and would like to schedule a time to take a look at this truck yourself contact *Jules Leroy, 406-694-2824* and I will try to answer as best I can. However, I am not an expert on old vehicles and vehicle repair, much of the work done I had paid for by a someone who owns a truck of the same vintage and model and knew what they were doing.

I would like to further add: vehicle comes with a title, which will be mailed directly to winning bidder after payment.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
