This was my fathers truck, he purchased it in Missoula, MT in 1972. It is a heavy duty 3/4 ton that came with 17" factory split rim wheels (they are still on the truck). The original 327 engine busted a valve lifter and busted the block. The block was replaced with a used 305, I believe it still has the 327 heads. The engine runs strong and starts very easily. When it sits for weeks without being started you need to dump a little gas in the air cleaner...so it needs carburetor attention. The transmission and transfer case shift correctly, it does have that classic Chevy whine in 4th gear, but it has been there since dad bought it in 1972. It does cough and run out of power accelerating in 4th gear, I think it's a carburetor or distributor issue. In 1st through 3rd gears it seems to have plenty of power. The engine sounds good, idles great and seems to run strong. The gauges and tachometer work. The tires are miss-matched and in poor condition, but they hold air. The miss matched tires make it hard to get out of 4 wheel drive in these old trucks. I'm not sure if anyone will change tires on the old split rims anymore, but 17 inch rims and tires are popular today (as a kid in the 70's and 80's I recall that tires for the pickup were a hard find). I don't know what model transfer case / gear ratios etcetera. That's all original though. The truck hasn't been driven much in the last 20 years, maybe a couple hundred miles a year around my parents house hauling firewood or some gravel etc. The body is pretty darn straight for it's age. It has the usual rust in the corners of the cab and the driver floor board is rusted through and needs replaced. The tailgate isn't straight. The floor of the bed is solid but not straight, it took a pretty good sized load of gravel to make this heavy duty truck squat. There is a small dent in the left front fender above the tire. The side of the box, just behind the left rear tire is curled under because a wheel came off one time (loose lug nuts). The saddle gas tanks were added when dad bought it, but they haven't been used in the last 20 years, so I'm sure they need a good cleaning etc before being used again. I think the pictures show the condition pretty well. The interior is good, the dash top is weathered and wrinkled from the sun. The seat covers have been on for as long as I can remember, the seat covers are pretty worn, I don't know what the original seat material looks like or what condition it is in. I think this is a good candidate for restoration. It's sharp looking truck, the heavy duty front end / hubs and the 17" tires make it look tough (in my opinion). My plan was to restore it and keep it, but I (maybe my wife) realized that I don't have the time and garage space to do the restoration. So, I was told that I have decided to let it go to someone who is willing to do it justice. I have started the bid pretty reasonable and there is no reserve. The truck is listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction. There is no warranty. It's the buyers responsibility for shipping. I will try to help in any way I can. The truck is in Corvallis Montana, it's right next to a state highway so loading onto a trailer etc will be easy. Please don't bid if you have no feedback. Be willing and able to pay. Thanks for looking. |

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
