1986 one ton Chevrolet Truck (Dual Wheels on rear). I believe it has the 350 engine but not 100% sure. It does have a four speed manual transmission. The engine runs great. I have not had it on long hauls, usually not over 100 miles from home. I haven't had any problems with oil consumption, bad liquid leaks (none that I know of). Once in a while the gear shift will pop out of third gear. The tires look to be in pretty good condition. When it sits for days, as it usually does, the tires will bump when you first take off until they roll for awhile. I believe this is fairly common in the larger trucks. The transmission, other than popping out of third gear once in a while, works great. The frame, especially on the driver side is very rusty. I have hauled lumber, saw dust, junk, you name it, on the truck and have had no problems but I want to make you aware that the frame will need fixed or replaced. The truck has recently had the master cylinder, alternator and fuel pump replaced. The previous owner had some brake work done. The rear for sure, not positive about the front. The brakes work great. The heater works fine. There are some rust holes that let in the outside air, (floor boards for example). A couple of months ago the fuel filter started filling up with particles from the gas tank and after changing the filter about three times I disconnected the fuel line from the tank and am currently using a five gallon can. Not the safest way fix but I don't smoke nor drive it very often. The tank will need to be taken off and cleaned and the line reconnected. I do have a clear title. Mechanically, as far as I know, there is nothing wrong with the truck, other than the third gear issue. The body is rough, the windshield has a small area that is cracked, looks like a rock may have hit it. A picture is included in this listing. I currently have some left over lumber on the bed from a home improvement job so there is no pictures of the bed. I will have it unloaded before the end of sale. It does have a steel bed with metal racks. The truck did have a fifth wheel hitch that the previous owner had removed. The bed has at least one fairly small rusted through place on the bed. I remember it from when I was shoveling saw dust off the truck. Not major but can be an issue. I have tried to list everything negative that I know of, please see the pictures before bidding. If you have questions please ask and I will try and answer them. The truck runs good, it does have issues, rust for example. Lots of it. It is not very economical to drive. I think I usually get about ten to twelve miles per gallon. It is geared low so the slower that you drive it on the open road, probably the better the gas mileage. Other than the gas tank being disconnected, I would not be afraid to take off in it and head cross country. The truck will be your responsibility to move, no great hurry, a couple weeks or so will be fine. I am selling it as-is, no guarantees. The rust is pretty bad.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
