Chevy Heavy Half Ton 1975 4x4 Short Bed W/ Cap & Power Angle Plow on 2040-cars
Phillipsburg, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a 1975 truck with 1985 body. It runs great and has been 100% reliable for the 8+ years that I have owned it. The 7.5' Western power angle plow works perfectly, and the truck is equipped with plow lights. All FOUR drive settings (2WD high, 2WD low, 4WD high, 4WD low) work as they should and operate smoothly. There are two gas tanks (16 gallons each) with an in-cab switch to go between the two. The body is in nice shape but has rust in the usual places for a truck of it's age in the Northeast (rocker panels, far bottom edges of doors and in front of rear wheel wells). I've attempted to show all areas of rust in the listing photos. The cloth upholstered bench seat is in excellent shape, no tears or stains but some color-fading from the sun. Top of dash has some cracks as well as the original speaker holes, but the rest of the dash and instrument panel look really good. Door panels look good but show some wear along the top edge (can be seen in photos). Radio works good as does heat and A/C (converted to R-134A). Truck bed is in great shape and comes with a rubber bed mat. Sliding windows both at back of cab and front of cap. Fiberglass cap in great condition with opening side slide windows. Front tires have only several hundred miles on them, rear tires have approximately 80% tread. All gauges work, but the temp gauge reads high (vehicle has never overheated) due to, I believe, a bad sending unit. Throughout our ownership of the truck, it has been very well maintained and garaged. Buyer responsible for vehicle pickup at our northwest NJ home. Feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking. |

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
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.
