Chevy K10 Truck 4x4 4wd 1979 Chevrolet Pickup on 2040-cars
Glenns Ferry, Idaho, United States
|
Condition: Exceptional condition for a vehicle which I would consider as being "unrestored". The paint is original, and the truck is almost entirely stock.
Features: Dealer installed A/C and cruise control. All wheel drive. Rare 400ci small block. Freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 Transmission with shift correction. History: For sale is this 1979 Chevy K10 Silverado with a professionally rebuilt turbo 350 transmission. The chassis has 152k and the 400c.i. small block was rebuilt by the first owner. Originally purchased in Glenns Ferry from Shrum Motors in 1979, this truck still shows its shine from its freshly detailed single-stage lacquer paintjob. My father bought this truck from the original owner in Mountain Home, and my father drove it for roughly a decade here in rural Southern Idaho. At some point the transmission gave out so there it sat for about three years before I got ahold of it. I originally swapped out the transmission for a second-hand purchase, and from there I drove the truck for about a year. In that time I installed a new carburetor kit, I adjusted the hydraulic lifters, checked the timing, and installed new spark plugs with the correct gap. Since the carburetor kit, this truck has always started immediately so long as it's driven daily. The automatic choke operates perfectly, giving this truck immediate cold starts, high idle warm-up, and a comfortably low warm idle. Within the last hundred miles I have pulled the second-hand transmission and installed a professionally rebuilt transmission with shift correction from Tim Cabral, an ASE Certified Transmission Builder. The shift is firm, and the shift points are adjusted perfectly for the throttle and vacuum environment.

As much as I love this truck, I need to cut back on personal projects. I am keen someone can take this project to the next level. I have brought the paint back to good condition, and overall the truck details nicely. All of the chrome is in exceptional condition, and although the paint has some dings and scratches, it polishes like nothing I have ever owned. The softness of the lacquer paint makes scratches, stains and imperfections a matter of swirl remover. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
