Up for sale is a 1976 Chevrolet Stepside Scottsdale 4x4 regular cab, with dual gas tanks, saddle bag gas tanks. This truck was purchased and shipped from California 2 summers ago and has been sitting in a garage for the past winter. The truck runs great and sounds very strong. It has lots of torque and horsepower. The engine is a big block that was put in by another owner many years ago, however the owner i bought it from was not sure of the exact engine size and i have had a hard time decoding it, even with the help of some guys at various automotive shops. It has an EFI ignition, with new alternator, new battery, new starter, as well as a new steering housing unit.
The entire front end has been redone, with the exception of the front sway bar, which has brand new polyurethane bushings, clamps and bolts. The truck is sitting on a fairly new 4 inch Pro Comp suspension lift with a four inch block in back, originial springs and Pro Comp springs up front with Pro Comp shocks all around. I recently purchased brand new Pro Comp shocks for the entire truck and put the new ones on the front. I have a brand new set ready to be installed on the rear along with a set of brand new rear Pro Comp 4 inch leaf springs to replace the 4 inch blocks, giving it a much better ready and reducing axle wrap!
The truck has the Stepside bed with saddle bag gas tanks, two 16 gallon tanks, one on each side. It also has the wood bed, which was replaced about ten years ago and is showing a little bit of wear in the wood now, but mainly just needs a good sanding and staining from being weathered. Brand new inner fender wells, along with new front bull bar and some new chrome on the front trim. I just did an oil change and put on a K&N oil filter, along with a new Fram aif filter. It has dual exhaust and the exhaust is in great condition, as well as sounds great!
Truck is painted blue and was repainted by previous owner, but there are areas where a little patch work was done such as on drivers side door. There is minor bubbling in normal spots, such as along the rear taillights, small areas on the under part of the bed and some bubbling, with minor rust on the front lip of the hood. The tailgate of the truck is showinig some signs of rust on parts of the lettering, and this seems to be the worst area. There was minor welding done underneath both driver and passenger side floor boards, where a 6 inch by 2 inch piece was welded on each side to protect the underside where i think rust was starting to form.
Overall, the truck is in very good condition for a vehicle this old and has been well taken care of. I have driven it up to about a 60 mile stretch at a time, as well as on highway and it runs very nicely and strong. I haven't really gotten it above 65, just because it's a tank and i take it easy, but i'm not sure of how far, distance wise, if someone were to drive it cross country. The gas gauge for both tanks, doesnt seem to be reading correctly, so i have just been filling it up randomly and it seems to get about 10-12 miles to the gallon, which is pretty good for this big engine.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
