Looking for an inexpensive, low optioned, get in and go truck? This may be the one for you.

This is a 1971 GMC 1500 series 1/2 ton, two wheel drive pick up truck. It is a small block Chevy 350 V8 with the reliable TH350 automatic transmission. It is a pretty no-frills truck, it has power sterring and power brakes, about all you really need as far as options on these trucks.

The 350 engine has an aftermarket carburetor, Edelbrock I think, headers and later model HEI ignition system. Starts right up and runs down the road with no issues. It does have a typical annoying header gasket leak but don't they all. The coolant system is in good working condition and the engine does not smoke or rattle. The power steering pump does groan some when doing a hard turn. The transmission shifts out like it should going down the road, no issues there.

The interior has seen better days but is still all there. The windshield is cracked, of course. Wipers and lights work. It has an aftermarket CD player of some sort, not really my area. The steering wheel is cracked.

The body shows the trucks age. The rocker panels need replaced, floors near rockers need work. It has a Chevrolet tailgate that opens and closes, the tailgate is rusted at the bottom, but it has a tailgate. Has a good rear work bumper. The passenger door has been replaced and the passenger fender is an aftermarket that never was painted and is showing surface rust. It has a chrome front bumper, not the best but it does have one. There does not appear to be any rust through on the interior part of the roof above the windshield.

The wheels are aftermarket Hurricane style, really popular in the 80's and are a matching set. It has good tires front and rear, two different brands, but still very good tires.

We started to throw a quick satin black paint job on it but decided to just let everyone see exactly what they were getting, no cover-ups. This is just a good old get in and drive truck. It is not fancy, it needs work, but it is a truck that you can use to work with. Not like you would worry about scratching the paint now is it? It would be a good shop truck, work truck or just something to beat and bang around in. Put that kid in it and turn him loose, if he tears it up, it is cheap to fix.

To make the deal even better, i will throw in a new set of rocker panels and a new pair of header gaskets for the winning bidder. Just trying to help. Thanks.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
