Up for auction is what I consider one of the hardest to find in nice condition of all the 67-72 Chev. and GMC trucks. A low-mileage almost completely original 3/4 ton K-20 4X4. This was a one owner truck that spent it's entire life in Idaho with a full size camper on the back of it, used for hunting and fishing and occasionally lived in at various construction sites, as the owner was a construction worker. I bought the truck from his grandson who received the truck from his estate. He could remember many hunting and fishing trips in the truck and said it was his grandpa's pride and joy, and the condition reflex's it. Now to the trucks condition, it is a very straight, honest, mostly original truck. He at some point did an upper end job in the motor to install hardened valve seats, and while at it installed headers, dual exhaust and a Mallory unilite pointless ignition. The truck runs excellent and also seems to have a mild shift kit. The paint appears to be mostly original but I am sure it has been touched up in some areas, but not due to any rust issues, as this truck is amazingly solid. It still has the "original" wood bed in it that is in excellent condition. I had it taped off and rhino lined to protect it, and if you look at the pictures you can see he had installed on the roof what I take to be a CB antenna. Now to the things I messed with. I put a new chrome bezel on the gauge cluster, and also took an extra glove box door and ash tray cover and had them chromed and painted original color on the inside with only the outside edge left chrome. (something I do with all these trucks) I installed a new chrome front and rear bumper so they would match as I didn't like the "fit everything" step bumper on the back. Also new wheels with some good tires I had around, they have about 50% tread. I also installed a new seat cover. The rubber mat and dash pad seat cover. The rubber mat and dash pad are original, as are the door panels. I replaced the black lower trim with some very nice used wood grain I had stuck away. The truck came with the really nice bed rail protectors on it, which I have never seen before. I added the tool box and splash guards to continue the theme. I also added a 3-spoke wheel, but the original will be put back in. It is nice with only 1 crack. The under carriage is so clean and rust free you can clean it with a steel wool pad. Well that's about all I can think of, but if there's anything else you want to know you can email or call me at 507-456-2957. People know I have this truck, so it could be gone at most anytime. Give it a good look and some serious consideration, this is a nice truck! Good Luck Bidding P.S. Two of the upper grille mounting brackets are broken. A new grille is included with the truck. |

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
