I am selling my 1971 K-20 custom deluxe. This truck is an excellent driver and I have taken it on very long trips and aside from getting terrible gas mileage and not having AC, the truck drives without issue.

Here is what I have done to the truck recently:

New grille, bumper, and turn signal lenses

New steering linkage and steering gear

New front and rear shocks

New tires (cooper AT3s) at 95%+

Replaced driver's side rocker panel

New dash bezel, seat cover, dash pad, and "rubber" carpet

New windshield

New radiator

New rear wheel bearings and new brakes

New battery

Carburetor was rebuilt by me and the truck runs great. The carb is not original, but I do have the original quadrajet. Was going to rebuild it but never got the chance. At some point this was upgraded to an HEI distributor.

The truck has a couple auxillary fuel tanks that were added by some previous owner. I removed the filler neck from the passenger side and butt welded a patch in the hole. There was also a big CB antenna where holes were drilled through the cab and I butt welded a patch here too.

This truck originally had both upper and lower molding, but you can see most of it is missing. I believe this truck used to haul a camper, hence the missing trim and camper tie down hook provisions. I do have almost all of the NEW replacement trim I kept aside, with intentions on painting the truck but never did. This truck did not come with a radio. There is no hole in the cowl for an antenna and the original radio delete plate is present to block the hole.

The negatives on this truck - it needs a choke, and the washer motor pump needs replaced. It does have a dent in the top of the tailgate. There are a few other small dings from over the years but none would be difficult to repair if you wanted to paint this. The cigar lighter does not work. it simply needs the wire which runs from the back of the lighter element to the fuse block. Somebody had put in an aftermarket temp gauge into this truck and I broke the capillary line so that will need repaired or the temp gauge will not work. Truck does not overheat, however. I have an original gauge pod to put in the cluster.

The 4 wheel drive works great. This has an open diff with (I believe) dana 44 front and the heavy Eaton rear. At some stage, someone upgraded the front hubs to Warn. The engine was rebuilt by the guy I bought it from some years ago. (I have a receipt somewhere) I have no idea on the mileage of this but I would assume it is whatever the odometer says plus 100,000.

If you would like photos of anything in particular, please message me. I can also take videos of the truck running if needed. As I stated, it runs and drives great, and I would drive it anywhere. (OK maybe not with gas at 4.00/gal!)

Truck was built in Fremont, CA and sold new at Joe Romania Chevrolet. I have the paperwork for this truck.

I am perfectly willing to drive the truck to meet your shipper if that is to be your mode of transportation. It has current tags and is insured.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise Â– in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
