1986 Chevy C30 1 ton truck, standard cab, 4 speed transmission, runs and drives great. It does have some issues. I will try and list them all. There is a lot of rust, floor boards mainly, the frame is very rusty, the windshield is cracked on the passenger side, the dash is badly cracked, the seat bottom is in bad shape. There are probably other things, I will list them as I think of them. There are a lot of good things about the truck too. The engine runs great, very little oil consumption. The transmission works fine with the exception that occasionally it will pop out of third gear if you don't hold it in place. The tires look good, it has a fairly new alternator, fuel pump, possibly water pump, master brake cylinder. I am not absolutely positive about the water pump. The rear brakes were redone not too long ago. The brakes do work great. I just removed the gas tank today and cleaned it and replaced it. I had some bad gas. I do have it reattached but it does need to be done properly. The existing straps and the mounts on the bottom of the tank that mount to the frame were badly rusted and not reusable. The metal bed is in pretty good shape. It does have some rust and a couple of holes. It has metal racks and I believe the rear section of the racks is here. Last time I checked the head lights, tail lights, parking lights, brake lights and marker lights did work. I have not checked them in a while. I did notice that one of the rear marker light lenses is broken on the rear driver side of the truck bed. The truck has dents and doesn't look great but it is dependable. I have had no problems starting it except a loose battery cable. The battery does not go with it. It is from another of my vehicles. I may possibly have one here that will go with it but I will have to make sure that it is good and will work but to be safe, I will say no battery included. Last time I changed oil I used Amsoil, a 100% synthetic oil and I believe an Amsoil filter too. The oil is rated at 25,000 miles with an oil filter change at 12,500. I never let the oil go that long. I usually replace both at about 10,000 miles. I have not put that many miles on it since I have had it. I seldom use this truck. Mainly to haul saw dust or mulch for my own use. Occasionally to haul a few pieces of furniture. I believe the engine is a 350. It is a V8. That's about all I can think of. If you have questions, please ask. The gas mileage is not great and seems to vary. I would estimate from 10 to 12 miles per gallon but will not guarantee that. Probably closer to 10. I do trust the truck and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere if I could afford the gas. If you need to drive it a long distance the decision to chance it will be up to you. The mileage is as listed but I don't know if that is original or not. I would guess that it is not.There is no spare tire, jack or lug wrench. There was none when I bought it. I did buy an old tire that is up and holding air that is I have never tried it so I am not certain. But I will throw it in too.. The wheel could be used with another tire if it does in fact fit. I have tried to be completely honest and list the bad as well as the good. The truck weighs between 6,000 and 7,000 pounds and it would bring about $700.00 across the scale for junk, so I will start the price a little above that. This truck is sold as is.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
