1971 Chevy Truck K-20 Custom Deluxe Disc Brakes Semi-original on 2040-cars
Hermiston, Oregon, United States
|
I am selling my 1971 K-20 custom deluxe. This truck is an excellent driver and I have taken it on very long trips and aside from getting terrible gas mileage and not having AC, the truck drives without issue.
Here is what I have done to the truck recently: New grille, bumper, and turn signal lenses New steering linkage and steering gear New front and rear shocks New tires (cooper AT3s) at 95%+ Replaced driver's side rocker panel New dash bezel, seat cover, dash pad, and "rubber" carpet New windshield New radiator New rear wheel bearings and new brakes New battery Carburetor was rebuilt by me and the truck runs great. The carb is not original, but I do have the original quadrajet. Was going to rebuild it but never got the chance. At some point this was upgraded to an HEI distributor. The truck has a couple auxillary fuel tanks that were added by some previous owner. I removed the filler neck from the passenger side and butt welded a patch in the hole. There was also a big CB antenna where holes were drilled through the cab and I butt welded a patch here too. This truck originally had both upper and lower molding, but you can see most of it is missing. I believe this truck used to haul a camper, hence the missing trim and camper tie down hook provisions. I do have almost all of the NEW replacement trim I kept aside, with intentions on painting the truck but never did. This truck did not come with a radio. There is no hole in the cowl for an antenna and the original radio delete plate is present to block the hole. The negatives on this truck - it needs a choke, and the washer motor pump needs replaced. It does have a dent in the top of the tailgate. There are a few other small dings from over the years but none would be difficult to repair if you wanted to paint this. The cigar lighter does not work. it simply needs the wire which runs from the back of the lighter element to the fuse block. Somebody had put in an aftermarket temp gauge into this truck and I broke the capillary line so that will need repaired or the temp gauge will not work. Truck does not overheat, however. I have an original gauge pod to put in the cluster. The 4 wheel drive works great. This has an open diff with (I believe) dana 44 front and the heavy Eaton rear. At some stage, someone upgraded the front hubs to Warn. The engine was rebuilt by the guy I bought it from some years ago. (I have a receipt somewhere) I have no idea on the mileage of this but I would assume it is whatever the odometer says plus 100,000. If you would like photos of anything in particular, please message me. I can also take videos of the truck running if needed. As I stated, it runs and drives great, and I would drive it anywhere. (OK maybe not with gas at 4.00/gal!) Truck was built in Fremont, CA and sold new at Joe Romania Chevrolet. I have the paperwork for this truck. I am perfectly willing to drive the truck to meet your shipper if that is to be your mode of transportation. It has current tags and is insured. |

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our 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.
