1972 Chevy 4x4 Pickup on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
1972 Chevy truck this truck started life as a two wheel drive out east and then Alaska. I purchased this truck in 2004 along with a 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban. I put the pickup on the 4x4 suburban chassis and up graded the axles to a front Dana 44 and a rear full floating corporate 14 bolt. I up graded transmission to a turbo 400 and the transfer case I opted to use a 208 for durability and weight. I installed a 4 inch lift kit with extra heavy front spring because I was going to install a plow. I own a small custom shop and welded in panels were needed and painted it base coat clear very nice appealing color and terrific body work removing dents and all. This is not a "bondo" buggy I purchased clean doors and fenders and painted them but as with brand new vehicles there is some filler used in smoothing metal work. Truck has radio delete and the only gauge that works is oil pressure gauge the others I didn't hook up because I was going to put gauge pods on the hood. The motor is a 1969 corvette 350 motor " if need be ill verify this since it was my corvette it came from" I had all the machine work done at a local engine builder. The heads are 67 cc chamber heads with 202 intake valves "the good ones" motor was then painted to match the truck. Bed has spray in bed liner and a rubber mat. new front bumper and I have a brand new rear bumper that goes with the truck i just never put it on because I haven't purchased the brackets.New brakes, carburetor, and billet distributor. This thing runs and looks beautiful.
OK now the negative! This truck sat in storage since it was built in 2004 I just started driving it in august the windshield was cracked in storage, tailgate lost, in storage,it needs new rubber mat or carpet, seat needs to be recovered, gauges need to be hooked up and tailgate and bumper installed. It also has a leaky front transmission seal do to not being driven it dried out I think it could also use a new rear main seal because im sure this dried out from sitting too. All and all its a great dependable truck 4x4 works as it should starts and runs beautifully and is a real looker. I built this as a company truck to advertise my shop but built a suburban also and this just sat I now have too much other irons in the fire and need to get rid of some toys so good luck with the bidding and let me know if you have questions. I have many more pictures ps yes that is a hole on the cab mount but the side structure was replaced. ______________Oh I almost forgot I have the original bill of sale and the protecto- plate for the truck also.___________________________ |

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
