1977 77 Chevy Chevrolet Half Ton Truck With Camper Shell Rebuilt Eng And Trans on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
1977 Chevy “heavy half” 1/2 ton truck. Have owned it for 32 years! Hate to see it go but I don’t need two trucks anymore. Yes, it’s old. Yes, the paint is not perfect. Yes, there are some bondo cracks on the pass door. Yes, there is some rust on the hood and tailgate. NO, it is NOT a show truck. Yes, it does leak some. Cheaper to top them off than to fix it perfect. Been an Arizona truck since day one. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt (by me, ex-mechanic. 16 years working on older vehicles “back in the day”). Engine is a .030 over 350 with mildly ported heads, Crane 272 cam and 9.3 pistons. Exhaust system is a set of Hooker headers into 2” pipes with crossover and giant Magnaflow mufflers. Runs very strong for a heavy truck! It’s tuned to run good on regular (87 octane) gas. Vacuum advance is NOT hooked up for tuning reasons. Do NOT hook it up, it will then need premium and it’s just not worth the extra cost. Keep timing set at 12 degrees BTDC. Trans is turbo 350 with lots of new parts and shift improver kit installed when built. Both engine and transmission have less than 50,000 miles on them. No, I do not have the original bench seat nor do I have the center seat belt. Cab and bed was cut and booted for a pass through back when my son was in grade school. He’s now 32. Yes, the boot drips some. Headliner needs attention too. Drivers seat has a rip on the seam from me getting in and out. Not a biggy but worth mentioning. Radiator is about 2 years old, 3 row all metal. Fan clutch is BRAND NEW. Old one finally died. Temp runs between 1/4 and just under 1/2 , never been overheated! Will pull small/medium boat and have pulled 6 x 12 enclosed U-Haul trailer with no problem. Has 2” ball and a heavy rated tow capacity rear bumper. Standard 4 pin flat trailer wiring plug plus commercial plug with electric brake and trailer battery charging plugs too. Tires are almost new! Brakes? Not sure but have two spare sets of rear shoes. ( 11 5/32 x 2 3/4”) plus a brand new set of semi-metallic front disc pads. This truck has an updated brake power booster and master cylinder used on a 1979 1/2 ton truck. If you should need to change the master cylinder or booster in the future, make SURE you get one for a ’79!! NOT a ’77. Also have spare spark plugs. Comes with a 40 channel CB with antenna, trailer brake controller, add-on wiper delay, high power AM/FM Cassette player and nice speakers. Sounds great. Just passed AZ emissions, no problems 4 years in a row. Tags were renewed in August, just put the sticker on today. Prefer cash, PayPal fees would be killer!! |

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
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.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
