1977 CHEVROLET SILVERADO STEPSIDE, SHORT BED PICK-UP

I want to start by saying that....I love this truck! I've owned a handful of Chevy Trucks over the years, and this one is the nicest looking 73-79 Stepside that I have ever seen. I purchased this truck 6-7 years ago, with the intent of my son (then 11) falling in love with the vintage car/truck hobby and showing the truck. It was a great idea - safe, with lots of real sheetmetal surrounding the driving position..... and NO back seat! But somehow the vintage car bug seemed to skip over him, as it seems that now that he is 17, only Porsche's and BMW seem to catch his eye?! GO FIGURE! However, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, as this truck deserves to be babied and enjoyed.......not taken for granted by a teen who doesn't appreciate it like I did! (when I was growing up, my parents first 'new' vehicle was a '77 GMC pickup, with the same interior as this truck - and I spent many a memorable day in the middle of that giant bench seat with my big brother!).

OK, enough family babble and reminiscing. Now, about THIS truck.... First of all, this is a FULLY LOADED Silverado (top of the line), with LOTS of factory options.....including:

Air Conditioning
Power Steering
Power Disc Brakes
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Cruise Control
Tilt Wheel
Dual Gas Tanks
Cargo Area Lamp
Tinted Glass
Wood Bed
AM/FM CD Stereo with upgraded speakers
10 Disc CD Changer (behind seat)
17" Coddington Wheels
BF Goodrich G-Force Tires
Nearly Flawless Interior (seat has tears, but new seatcover is included)
and Only 78,310 ORIGINAL miles.

The two obvious flaws are the original vinyl front seat is torn on the drivers side.....and the dented upper and lower grill molding trim pieces. I have the following replacement parts on order now (and they will be included with this sale):

NEW 'upper and lower' grill moldings
NEW factory style vinyl seat cover (same color), to replace the current cover with minor tears.

The truck runs great, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. I will say that I have not used/tested the cruise control (it is all hooked up, but I don't know that it works). This is truly a great find.... and a great buy at the reserve that I have set. If you want any additional photos or details, please ask! I am happy to provide you with as much information and detail as you may need to give you confidence in your purchase.

Call with questions (805) 3 nine 1 - 0509. Or email me, at hotrodranch@live.com. My name is Scott. I am selling it because I have 18 cars, and need to get down to 10 or so..... I encourage you to view this truck (or have it inspected) BEFORE purchase! It is located in Paso Robles, California (half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, on CA Hwy 1010. Please do not bid if you don't intend or have the funds to buy. The truck is sold as is without warranty or guarantee. I will reasonably assist with pickup or delivery of truck. All shipping costs will be the responsibility of Buyer. $2000 non-refundable deposit due within 72 hours of auction close. Balance due within 7 days of auction end.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
