1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4, Shortbed, Original 400 V-8, Automatic Transmission, Painted Hot Rod Flat Black w/ All New Trim and Stainless Accents.    The engine had already had some improvements added on to it before I had purchased the truck.  An Edelbrock aluminum intake and Edelbrock carb had already been installed and we added a few small engine accessories such as the chrome valve covers and air cleaner. Complete fresh tune-up including cap, rotor, wires, plugs, fuel filter and pump.  The engine runs very strong and sounds  great.  Engine does not blow any smoke when it first starts up as many Chevrolet engines do.  The exhaust on the truck is true dual exhaust with turbo mufflers - NOT glasspacks.  I like a nice tone from my exhaust - Not loud redneck exhaust by no means.  I had my mechanic look over the entire drivetrain and he replaced all the front u-joints in the front axle, greased and packed all the front bearings, new brakes, and converted over to lock out hubs. Also just had a front end alignment done as well.  Truck is setting on 31x11.50 Super Swampers on 15x8 Original style Ralley Wheels.  This truck originally was an Arizona truck so the tuck never had any major rust issues to speak of. Body wise the truck has a new hood, hood springs, 1980's style doors, replacement cab corners, and pretty much the rest of the truck is the original sheet metal.   Body and paint was done in a professional body shop - Not is someones back yard.  Other goodies include New front grille, New head light bezels, New front bumper, New chrome door handles, New wheel opening mouldings, New aluminum bed caps, New aluminum tailgate protector, New windshield, New chrome wing vent handles, Aluminum tool box, and Custom hand painted pinstriping by MK John Studio just to mention a few.

As for the interior - Pretty much everything is fresh, new, or redone.  Dash has been upgraded to the newer style dash.  Pyle Am/FM Stereo w/ small box speakers mounted behind seat.  Door panels are also the newer style door panels. New headliner, Old school seat, New carpet kit, New seat belts, New chrome window cranks, New chrome interior door handles, Dome light functions as it should, and gauge package was reworked and all gauges now work as they should - Even the gas gauge works correctly (Which if you have ever owned an old Chevy this is amazing to see one actually work correctly).

Not really to much bad to say about this old truck other than the original air conditioning system had been removed before I got my hands on it and I did not mess with it so yes, it is still off the truck.  Otherwise, this old truck is pretty tight and rattle free.  Doors fit up good and it rides and drives good going down the road.  The truck just passed Missouri safety inspection meaning everything checked out good and tight with the suspension, all lights work as they should, and yes even the horn blows correctly.

I know I am forgetting to mention a ton of stuff as I have worked on this truck in my spare time for about the last year and a half or so.  Honestly I had no intentions of selling this truck but we are building a new home and some of my toys needs to go as we are already going over budget on the house so truck is going up for sale.  The truck is for sale locally as well as here on Ebay so I do reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  I was a collector car dealer about 10 years ago and we used to sell a ton of cars through Ebay so I have heard a lot of scams over the years so please do not even try with me.  My description is an honest description - Look at my feedback and bid with confidence.  My phone number is 573-220-5566 if you have any questions feel free to give me a call.  I can also help with shipping arrangements as I still have some connections with several different shipping companies around the United States as we used to ship cars all over the United States and overseas. A $1000.00 deposit will be expected within 3 days of auction end and the balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auctions end.  Vehicle will not be released until all funds have cleared.  Thanks.......

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer
