1972 Chevy 4x4 Pickup on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
|
1972 Chevy truck this truck started life as a two wheel drive out east and then Alaska. I purchased this truck in 2004 along with a 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban. I put the pickup on the 4x4 suburban chassis and up graded the axles to a front Dana 44 and a rear full floating corporate 14 bolt. I up graded transmission to a turbo 400 and the transfer case I opted to use a 208 for durability and weight. I installed a 4 inch lift kit with extra heavy front spring because I was going to install a plow. I own a small custom shop and welded in panels were needed and painted it base coat clear very nice appealing color and terrific body work removing dents and all. This is not a "bondo" buggy I purchased clean doors and fenders and painted them but as with brand new vehicles there is some filler used in smoothing metal work. Truck has radio delete and the only gauge that works is oil pressure gauge the others I didn't hook up because I was going to put gauge pods on the hood. The motor is a 1969 corvette 350 motor " if need be ill verify this since it was my corvette it came from" I had all the machine work done at a local engine builder. The heads are 67 cc chamber heads with 202 intake valves "the good ones" motor was then painted to match the truck. Bed has spray in bed liner and a rubber mat. new front bumper and I have a brand new rear bumper that goes with the truck i just never put it on because I haven't purchased the brackets.New brakes, carburetor, and billet distributor. This thing runs and looks beautiful.
OK now the negative! This truck sat in storage since it was built in 2004 I just started driving it in august the windshield was cracked in storage, tailgate lost, in storage,it needs new rubber mat or carpet, seat needs to be recovered, gauges need to be hooked up and tailgate and bumper installed. It also has a leaky front transmission seal do to not being driven it dried out I think it could also use a new rear main seal because im sure this dried out from sitting too. All and all its a great dependable truck 4x4 works as it should starts and runs beautifully and is a real looker. I built this as a company truck to advertise my shop but built a suburban also and this just sat I now have too much other irons in the fire and need to get rid of some toys so good luck with the bidding and let me know if you have questions. I have many more pictures ps yes that is a hole on the cab mount but the side structure was replaced. ______________Oh I almost forgot I have the original bill of sale and the protecto- plate for the truck also.___________________________ |

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
