1970 Chevy C10 Duramax Diesel Shortbox Pickup on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
|
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 full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
