1966 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Short Bed Step Side on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:72686
Location:

This 1966 Chevrolet K10 is FACTORY ORIGINAL and has been in my family since the late-1960s.  It needs restoration but drive it while you do so!.  My grandfather bought it from the original owner's widow. I was with him when he drove it home.  I have the protecto-plate and the build sheet is still behind the seat.  It has a strong-running 292 6cyl and 4 speed.  Warn Hubs and I think a Spicer system underneath, but I'm no expert.  You will notice I took photos under the hood when it was running.  You can see there is a dealer-installed generator with a pto that once went to a wench.  Also, there is a dealer-installed spot light. Everything works as it should.  It has 72,XXX miles on it, but when grandpa died in 1991 and I titled it in my name, the DMV insisted that it had to show 172,XXX because the odometer only went to 99,999!!! They did the same thing to me with my 1965 F100 with 51,000 - can't beat city hall.  Just look at the pictures of the pedals and floor mat at the accelerator and you can tell it has not been driven that far.  It has rust on the fenders (apparently Chevrolet wanted that to happen because they ALL have it).  The driver's cab corner has one small spot, and the passenger cab corner looks good (the green paint is rustoleum - mom's idea). On the passenger side underneath is a small rust spot on the rail to the cab support but can be fixed easily - see photo. All the cab supports look good.  Also, the passenger door has some rust on bottom.  Both rockers are good. It has surface rust elsewhere but nothing major.  The wood in the bed appears good but grandpa put diamond plate over it so no guarantees, but I took a photo from underneath so you can sort of see it is in tact.  The seat needs to be re-done and the tail gate has a slight bow from weight.  The front bed rail is straight.  It needs a new muffler.  I have replaced the heater motor, ignition switch, head lights, tail lights and lens, the battery and cables, all the hoses, and put a new front drive line on because the slip yolk on the original was sloppy.  It is licensed and I am driving it.  Obviously it needs restoration, but this is the best start that you will find and the ones that are done are going for 30k plus.  I live in Elko, Nevada and am right off of Interstate 80 so I can deliver the truck to you at the freeway to your car hauler or I can store the vehicle for you for a couple of weeks. This thing has (I think) 488 gearing so it is not a freeway machine. The lucky winner can put down a $500 deposit on Paypal and give the rest in cash.  Money orders or checks will have to clear before I release the vehicle to you so expect two weeks delay if you go that route.  If you win the auction and put down a deposit and when you come to pick up the truck, if it is not as described I will return your deposit and I will contact the next highest bidder.  You can call me at 480-540-7633 with any questions or if you want additional pictures or to chat about the truck's condition. Communicate, communicate, communicate.  Lots of pictures but Ebay only let me post 24. Don't bid unless you are serious, you have the means to get the truck shipped or pick it up yourself, and you can pay for it. Finally, I reserve the right to end the auction early because the truck if for sale locally.  However, I won't end the auction early if there is a bid on the truck.  Thanks, and good luck.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
