This auction is for a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom 10 that really is true to its name "custom". I worked really hard to build this truck to appear as it came but with a big surprise under the hood. The drive train is still in its stock form as it came from a 6,700 lb 2006 2500HD except for the deleted egr, egr cooler, intake heater, and catalytic converter. It has only 105,000 miles and has never been modified or abused. But now at only 4,200 lbs the Duramax LBZ's factory 360 hp and 650 lb-ft make this thing a blast to drive. A simple tune and a few easy upgrades would make it really wild. Or just cruise the highway in the Allison's sixth gear and get better fuel economy than most cars. This truck gets great attention and compliments everywhere it goes before anyone even realizes it isn't just another carbureted 350. The sound alone causes double takes and confusion at every stop. The Duramax badges fit and match so perfectly I have to point them out for people to notice when the ask what's under the hood. I have a mountain of receipts from all the new parts like the new inner fenders, new power steering gearbox, the relocated under bed aluminum fuel cell, new radiator, new custom front mount intercooler, custom driveshaft, trans-dapt polyurethane engine mounts, energy suspension body mounts, dual electric cooling fans, new auxiliary transmission cooler, the firewall and floor has been covered with heat and sound deadener before it was carpeted, just to list most of the recent bigger stuff. The original 12 bolt rear end was only upgraded with a larger, stronger 1350 flange and is otherwise stock. This is a really cool truck but I want the buyer to understand it has not been fully restored. The paint looks really nice from about 6 feet away, but not as nice up close. There are quite a few small chips here and there. The frame and cross members had to be modified to make this work but has been reinforced. It has had the cab corners, rockers, and all 4 floor supports replaced, and some other patchwork underneath the floor all before it was painted last time, it will still need a new bed floor for the body to be rust free and ready for a higher quality paint job. At this time is does not have heat, defrost, or air conditioning. The bench seat has a cover because it has cracks in the driver side vinyl. I did not install a stereo because I didn't want to permanently cut the original dash holes not knowing what the next owner would want. It does still have a speaker in the center of the dash. Otherwise it is perfectly fine the way it is. A person could spend a fortune trying to make something this old cosmetically perfect just to make it nerve racking to want to drive anywhere and, heaven forbid, leave it alone in a parking lot. So I like it the way it is and I think anyone else will too. The only things I would add is a nice set of gauges and some sportier tires but you can personalize it any way you want. I can deliver the truck if needed to anywhere in the continental U.S.A. as well.

GM recalls 55,000 trucks, SUVs for separating axles, fuel pump failures
Mon, Feb 13 2023General Motors issued four separate recalls covering eight of its truck and SUV models for issues related to fuel pump and half-shaft failure. In total, the four campaigns include more than 55,000 vehicles spread out over three brands and six model years, but they've sorted themselves neatly into two categories. Let's dive in. Axle separation Four models are being recalled for potential axle separation: The 2023 Cadillac XT5, 2023 GMC Acadia, 2023 Chevy Blazer and 2023 Chevy Traverse. The number of units affected is incredibly small (10 units each times two recalls, for a total potential population of just 20 cars). In each case, a small number left the factory with half-shaft assemblies that may have been missing the retention rings that keep them in place, possibly allowing the axles to separate or eject from the transmission. In the case of the XT5 and Acadia, it's the right-side axle assembly; Chevy dealers, however, will have to check the left side. Fuel pump failure Again, we have multiple vehicles being recalled for similar issues, but in this case they're a bit more distinct. The first of these recalls covers the 2021-2022 Chevy Equinox and 2022 GMC Terrain. GM says a supplier-initiated change may have led to fuel pumps shipping with inadequate clearances to allow for the prescribed flow of fuel, meaning the pump could starve the engine. Customers experiencing the issue may see a check engine light and experience engine hesitation. In some cases, the cars may not start at all. Chevy and GMC will replace the units in question with correctly specified pumps. The second recall covers a fairly specific cross-section of GM's HD truck lines. 2017-2019 Silverado and Sierra HD trucks sold with the diesel engine and a dual-tank configuration may have shipped with a rear fuel pump that is susceptible to fouling by debris, preventing fuel from properly transferring to the front tank, or, in extreme cases, resulting in a collapse of the rear tank. This issue can lead to inaccurate/erratic fuel tank readings, engine hesitation, a check-engine light or failure to start. In both cases, GM will inspect and replace faulty units free of charge for customers. Expect notifications to be delivered by March. Related video: Recalls Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Ownership Safety Truck SUV
Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Then they revive a format called "This or That," discussing the Jeep Wrangler vs. Gladiator, Subaru Forester vs. Outback, Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger, and whether they'd rather spend $25,000 on a new or vintage car. They've got an update on a previous Spend My Money segment, and, finally, they help another listener pick a daily driver.
