Letting my factory 1970 Chevrolet 3/4 ton K20 4x4 go. Factory V8/4 Speed truck. I've had the truck about a year and it is in mostly original condition. Never lifted or modified. Just a nice old solid 4x4 and they are getting harder to find. Looking to make room for a new project and pay some bills. That being said I may entertain a trade.

Paint/Body- 100% rust free. Truck is extremely solid for a 69-72. Roof and rain gutters are excellent. Floors, cab corners and kick panels are solid. Cowl area is clean. Bed floor and front panel are straight and rust free. I have looked for bubbles, rust or heavy bondo and have not found any. Truck has had the rockers and two of the cab supports replaced in the past. Paint is nice and body is very straight. Has two small dings by the cab light. Bed is coated with a rhino liner but, is damaged in some areas and inner wheel well have some dents. Glass is all good except the windshield. Glass company cracked it during install. Firewall and interior retain original paint and chalk markings. The weatherstripping in the door jambs and window felts are all new. New door handles, bumper, tailgate trim, tail lamp lenses, NOS grille inner and outer. Tailgate is mint. No dents or rust.

Suspension/Wheels/Tires-Truck has very rare 16.5x8.75 wheels. It took me forever to find these and they look absolutely killer. They were painted the same white as the cab top and rear bumper. Has very nice Cooper 33x12.50's mounted on them. I have the factory rear caps installed and may have the fronts by end of auction. Truck has front power disc brakes and power steering. New warn locking hubs. 4.10 axles. Absolute stump puller. Frame was coated with POR15 and underside of bed was coated with bedliner. Overall the underside is pretty clean. The rear leafs have helper springs installed and the truck has a very stout stance. Drives down the road like an old 4x4. Has a little play in the steering but, I've driven much newer trucks that have the same play.

Engine/Transmission-Truck has a V8 engine out of an 80's Van. Runs strong. Edelbrock intake and carb. Rams horn exhaust manifolds. High energy ignition. New starter, battery, battery cables. SM465 4 speed transmission. NP205 transfer case is gear driven not chain. Sounds good but, if I were to keep it I would change the exhaust out for something quieter and ran all the way out the back.

Interior-Not much to say here. Original paint on the inside of the cab. The inside of the doors have been resprayed and look good. Rubber mat does not fit well and I would replace with a better one if I were to keep it. Dash pad and sun visors are excellent. New dash bezel and lense, new shift boots, brake pedal covers, white arm rest, radio delete plate. Seat has been recovered with a factory houndstooth cover and new foam. The dash lights work but, most of the factory gauges still need to be hooked up.

Overall a nice solid 3/4 ton K20. These are hard to find in any condition and this one has a great look with the color combo. Willing to look at trades and I will assist in shipping this truck anywhere. Clear title in my name. $500 deposit required within 24 hours. Full payment within 5 days. Can store the truck as long as it is paid for. Sold as is where is.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

Chevy Express, GMC Savanna reportedly ending production for 2025

Sat, Jul 2 2022

The oldest commercial vans on the market may only have a few years left, according to a report from Autoweek. The news outlet cited a "competitive analysis source" in saying that the Chevy Express and GMC Savanna commercial vans would be discontinued after the 2025 model year. They would then be replaced by a new electric van, likely Ultium-platform based, for the 2026 model year. We reached out to GM for comment, and this is the official statement sent to us: "We have said in the past that as part of GM’s larger EV acceleration plans that we will add two new vehicles to our commercial portfolio. The first is a full-sized battery electric cargo van and the second is a medium-duty truck that will put both Ultium and our Hydrotec hydrogen fuel cell technology to work. We have not disclosed timing, names or shared any other details, so any articles reporting more are purely speculative." The GM vans are mighty old, having been introduced for the 1996 model year. They've barely changed since then, having received just some facelifts and updated powertrains over the years. And with GM's electrification plans, we're not surprised that these vans will be on the way out. We do have some disagreement about the reported timeline for replacement, though. We suspect that the upcoming electric vans will overlap with the old vans for at least a year. The reason being that there are a lot of these vans on the road, and there are a lot of pieces of equipment that fit them. Box vans, buses and more have components that have been designed for the Express and Savanna. If you're a fleet that has invested in these components, you might not be ready to shift over to a whole new platform. So GM will probably want to give fleet buyers one last opportunity to replace any old vans before committing entirely to a new electric van platform. It will also be interesting to see what kind of market the GM electric vans enter. Ford already has its electric Transit on the way, and Stellantis will be launching the Ram ProMaster electric van next year. Those are both based on existing gas-powered vans. And GM itself has already delivered the first of its larger BrightDrop EV600 electric vans to FedEx. The coming GM vans will likely be new platforms, which could give them performance and range advantages, though the Ford and Stellantis vans will have the advantage of being compatible with equipment for the gas variants.
