1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne 4x4 Long Bed W/ 16,000 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Pagosa Springs, Colorado, United States
Up for Auction is a 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne K 2500, 3/4 ton 4x4 pick-up with only 16,000 original miles on it. That's right 16,000 not 116,000 miles. I called and confirmed the mileage with the fire department that purchased and owned the truck This truck was ordered as a cab and chassis with no bed by a small Fire Department in Ohio. I have the original build sheet. My understanding is that this truck was used as a vegetation fire fighting truck with a flat bed on it. With a small skid mount pump and tank. Obviously it was not used very much. There is some surface rust on the frame none on the body. I replaced the single exhaust system with a dual exhaust system while retaining the stock exhaust manifolds. It has a stock 350 c.i. engine with a 4 barrel. carb. and the transmission is automatic 350 turbo-hydro-matic. The truck has power steering and power disc brakes from the factory. The dash is wood grained, with a stock in the dash tachometer, and gauges. No idiot lights. I replaced the stock AM radio with a Custom Auto Sound radio with USB, and MP-3 inputs. I also added kick panel speakers, and a new stock center dash speaker. The stock A/M radio goes with the truck also. The seat is in good condition with some stitching starting to break. So I installed an Indian style seat cover with front pouches. I purchased a used bed that was rust free with saddle tanks. The saddle tanks have not yet been installed but go with the truck. I then had any body work that was needed done. The body work was to fill the small holes that the fire department had put in it to mount antennas and a light a bar on the roof. I left the two Unitrol spot lights in place on the "A" pillars. I had the truck repainted the original colors with two stage paint. That way the bed and cab had a perfect match. I can not find any evidence of ever any collision damage. All glass appears to be original w-factory rear sliding window. The 16" steel wheels are original and I put 4 new 10 ply BF Goodrich Commercial tires on them. The spare is a used tire in good condition on a new LMC mag. wheel. I replaced the Alternator and removed the regulator. I installed the needed pigtail to eliminate the regulator. The original Alternator also goes with the truck. This truck spent it's life in a Fire Department Apparatus Garage heated and being wiped down daily. The reason for selling the truck is I have another project waiting to be finished. The truck runs and drives well and is currently registered in Colorado. The buyer is responsible for shipping or pick up in person. A $1000.00 deposit is required. I will not disclose the Reserve Price, so please don't ask. This Truck is a Real Head Turner, it gets attention everywhere I go. Good Luck Bidding!

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
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.
