1972 Chevy Shortbed, Fully Restored Big Block Black Over Black Beauty on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
Up for grabs is my 1972 Super Cheyenne Shortbed. Most would consider this truck to be show-quality. This truck was fully restored in 2000 and has been garaged and undercove since. Has about 2500 miles since all the work was done. Speedo was reset at that time. This was not a cosmetic makeover, but a real restoration. The truck was born with a small block but was upgraded with new BBC when restored. Motor is a 74, but was built to 400 hp and even more torque. Build sheet included from reputable builder. Over .020 bore and standard crank. Works realy well. Trans built at same time. Radiator upgraded and rebuilt last week when Brand new Vintage Air installed on truck. Old AC sold with truck if buyer desires. New Set up is fully electronic and control head is stock in appearance. In my opinion, this beats stock hands-down because it loses the old vacumn controls and stiff cables, and uses modern compressor that is much lighter in weight and more efficient. this was professionally installed at cost of more than 3K alone. The only trim that appears to not have been replaced during resto are door handles and they still look great. Paint was high dollar job that still looks great. One marble size spot on bottom door corner needs repainted. For paint to look this good almost fifteen years later is testament to quality of work. Body is arrow straight, gaps good, hood hinges, doors, etc open and close like a vault. Smelly gas tank removed from cab and blazer style tankrelocated between frame rails in rear and filler moved to left rear wheel well in truck bed. Again, done to high standard. Sending unit was tweaked a few weeks ago (removed tank to fix it) worked for a while and quit. Frustrating! All other guages working including factory tach. I consider this to be the most desireable year and the most desireable colors... Thats why I bought it! I wanted something other than ralley wheels and sourced new Wheel Vintiques OEM steelies in 8" and 10". Had them powdercoated in black and then clear. Put new wheel vintiques chevy centers and rings on them. This setup ended costing about 800 when done. Since wheels can be a personal taste choice, I will include a set of alloys in same dimensions to new buyer. Tires at 50% or better. The suspension on this truck is stock. The truck sits nice and drives nice. Front disc brakes of course. The mufflers are new as are the stainless tips at rear. Louder than a stock muffler but not flowmaster loud. The interior is near perfect, if not perfect. Dash pad was replaced as was most of the bling. Seat and carpet show no wear or damage. The starter is new, carb was kitted a few months ago. Newish battery. Glass near perfect, if not perfect. Reguators great. Bumpers rechromed and look new. I welcome/encourage personal inspection by buyer or buyer's agent. If you can afford the gas, you could fly in and drive this home. Too nice for open transport. I have the build sheet for this truck and all reciepts. Selling for considerably less than build cost. title held at my bank (USAA) Fitted Car cover included with sale. Car at my place under cover inside. Happy to store for up to a month for buyer if needed. Happy to provide photos for interested parties and to speak on the phone. Thanks

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
