1979 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup Very Straight Truck Must See! on 2040-cars

1979 Chevy Cheyenne long bed. I purchased this truck a few years ago and did not even really need it. It was just so clean for the year and I love old trucks. I already had a truck but thought about painting it, putting in a low compression big block with a few turbos. I have used the truck to move stuff around and made some repairs along the way. I truly could not chop it up it ran so nice. Its not a fast truck, 350 v-8 and is not perfect. But when I tell you it will never ever leave you stranded, I mean it.

I purchased remanufactures rally wheels and center caps for the truck that are in perfect shape ($600 without the tires), put springs and a lowering kit on it ($900). Upgraded the AC, (evaporator, compressor, new lines all new total was around $1200) put a new interior in the truck with a all new carpet, headliner, kick panels, door pockets, and visors ($1300).

Changed the oil a few times since I have owned it. Door rubbers are in pretty good shape, a few of the moldings are not perfect, small rust spot on the hood, only spot on the whole truck.

There is not a lot bad with this truck. My kids (5 and 9 yr olds) can jump up and down on the hood or roof and the metal does not even flex. They truly do not make vehicles like this anymore, even trucks! You can drive this truck down the road at 70 mph and take it anywhere.

We have had a few new vehicles over the past few years and living in Florida the weather obviously gets very hot in the summer, the AC in this truck is better than a new vehicles. Never runs hot on temperature.

Rear main seal leaks a little and every few months I will top off the oil.

In closing this truck has been in our family for the past five or so years and has been a pleasure to own. No obligation whatsoever to buy if you are high bidder and not as described.  

I am new to eBay and am listing as no reserve. Last bid will buy it. I am going to let it run the entire length of the auction.

Feel free to email me with any further questions.

Good luck!

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
