Up for sale is my 68 Chevy C-10. Great truck wife wants to start a restauraunt though. Truck runs and drives with about 170k on the odometer. Four on the floor, not column shift. Old 327 gave out years ago replaced by running 305 for now. No power brakes or power steering. Truck has quadrajet carb and runs well. Exhaust dumps out right at the Y underneath the cab = very loud truck. Fuel gauge needs new wire run, but the sending unit is new from LMC truck. Recently got all the lights and turn signals working including reverse lights. New brake light lenses for safety. Short somewhere in the instrument cluster light comes and goes I haven't found it yet. Dash hasn't been hacked on too much still spot for radio, but ignition area will need some patch work. Replaced hi-lo beam floor switch and replaced the mirrors with stock mirrors from LMC truck = better looking truck. Brakes all rebuilt front and rear with new everything except the rear drums. New master cylinder within last 150 miles. Only problem I had with the new wheel cylinders is theyre a bit different shaped in the casting and the retainer clip for the wheel cylinder bolt can't be hammered back into place. Still have the original wheel cylinders if you just want to rebuild those and run them. Haven't had a problem but the brakes need bled a little better. Truck has a New Process 435 manual granny tranny, which is kinda rare for Chevy. When I first got the truck I thought the synchro was out and first gear was kinda tall. Turns out it's meant to be un-synchronized and it's tall for towing. You actually use 2nd gear as 1st. Anyway real good transmission still going strong no issues. Bed is in saveable shape, needs some patches though. Tailgate is in pretty good shape actually worth 500 bucks alone. Truck currently is running white spokes with tires that need replaced. Would not recommend you plan on driving the truck very far on these tires. Plan on bringing your trailer if you live far away from Salina, KS. Truck had a few extra gas tanks mounted to it through the bedsides at some point in time. I cut out the rest of the old fuel system and now it just runs on the cab tank which I just cleaned out. Interior was probably originally black, been switched out with a gold color. Hood has slight dent also isn't original from that same gold truck the steering column and interior came out of. Missing glove box sticker but it's not hard telling what options it had. Truck is fairly rusty just about everywhere needs alot of patchwork done, but I have a clean and clear title in my name. The windshield wipers work. This isn't a hodgepodge truck either. Just looks like it hit a deer at one point, and someone swapped some stuff around from a gold 67-68 sometime later and then the motor went? Was parked awhile from what I was told. Always a Kansas truck too from the title I had before sending it off in my name. Needs radiator support as the animal strike has bent it a little right where the hood striker is. Floorpan is rusted good don't trust the seatbelts until new floors are installed. Also has the hard to find 67-68 front clip. Truck has never had a repaint, just literally went over with a paintbrush. Everything but the motor, hood, front clip, interior, and steering column are original to the truck with the exception of the battery tray. Buyer will receive title and keys for the truck upon payment clearing my bank. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hrs of auction closing. Also have extra set of door locks not installed yet. Needs radiator hoses as well.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As 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.
