1968 K20 CHEVY 3/4 TON  4X4.

This truck is in original condition and is a great candidate for restoration. It has the original engine and paint. Most of the truck is original. The body is very solid on this truck, but has some of the rust normally associated with '67-72 gm trucks. It is better than most though. I bought this truck from the grandaughter of the original owner. Here are all the details. Many more pics in the listing and I can email even more. I would like to put a link in here for them, but ebay doesn't allow it anymore. There is also a video of it running in my link.

MECHANICAL

The chevy has the original 240 horsepower 4-barrel 327 V8. It runs great and doesn't smoke at all. Has good oil pressure and runs cool. It has good tires with about 50% tread. This has manual steering and brakes. Brakes work good. Parking brake works. Original radio. Everything on the interior appears original. Original broadcast sheet/build sheet is still in the glovebox. Jack and handle are behind the seat and appear original. No a/c. Four speed manual works as it should. Throw-out bearing has a little noise but not bad. It's completely driveable. No major leaks but has the usual seepage. I was told the engine could have low miles on a rebuild. I have no paperwork though. It does run very strong and starts right up. It has a performer RPM intake. It sounds like it may have an RV cam. Exhaust sounds good. Has good power and is probably closer to 300hp now. The truck needs no major mechanical work. I'm sure a tune-up/fluid change wouldn't hurt but it doesn't really need it. Drives good down the highway. The headlights, taillights, turnsignals, horn, parking brake and wipers work. Original radio doesn't come on.

BODY

The body is very solid for an unrestored truck of this vintage. These trucks are known for having bad rust problems. This truck has no rust in the box. Drivers fender is nice. Passenger has tiny amount of pinhole rust starting in the low corner. Hood has minor rust but another better hood is included. Inner fenders and frame have no rust. Header, firewall, roof and dash are fine. Cab has the usual rocker rust. Has floorpan rust close to the rockers but not too bad.  Will need to be fixed though. Usable as is and no worry about your feet falling out. One cab corner needs repaired. The other one looks ok but I would do both if you do the one, because it's most likely thin if the other is.Minor rust on bottom of the doors. Paint appears original and from my experience, I'm confident that it is. Original 8000 gvw sticker is still on the box on the drivers sidee. No signs of bondo. Original owner sprayed primer here and there to cover surface rust. Most of it's faded off now though. Box is mostly straight but has a couple wrinkles to be fixed. Tailgate opens/closes and latches, as do the doors and hood.

INTERIOR

This is pretty basic and the pics tell the story. It all looks original and it is usable but needs restored. 

OVERALL

This is a very cool chevy project. How many do you see at car shows? I see lots of custom shortbox stepsides, which I like, but it's cool to seen an original restored 4x4. I would personally drive it as-is and it would be nice to put an original set of hubcaps on it.  Feel free to ask questions and make an offer. I can talk via phone if you'd like.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
