Condition to disclose: This is a daily driver, mostly in town, but I do take to SFO airport and when returning from work I am in traffice for 2.5-3 hours with no issues, no overheating or such. Just lots of thumbs up when I'm on the road. Paint is original as seen in pics, no bondo, truck is nicely straight except passenger door has some minor dings on it. Doors and cab have drill holes from old camper mirrors and old tie down hooks on bed. Under carriage looks its age but nothing beyond that. The cab needs a new mat if you like but i feel it matches the rest of the truck. The seat have some holes but again match the patina of the truck.

Condition the good: Original motor replaced with another new/rebuilt 350. About 260HP with motor additions of Edelbrock aluminum intake and carb, plus new Magnaflow Dual Exhaust, truck sounds real nice. At the same time as motor work the large radiator was rebuilt, along with brakes, and tranny rebuilt. All this within the last 8-10 thousand miles. Truck is very presentable and reliable. I've had more people ask me to sell this vehicle then any other I've ever owned just because of the cool factor. Also note: all new belts, and radiator hoses, plus also a new Optima red top battery not shown in pics.

Features: C-10 trim all present. Ralley wheels and tires have 90%+ thread. New dash pad. New radio and single dash speaker, radio looks old school but has MP3 feature. Bucket seats with factory center console. Instrument panel all works and has desired tach. Tilt steering column. Original factory green tint glass. All lights, blinkers, and interior components work. Strong newer motor and great sounding Magnaflow dual exhaust. 15x8 Ralley wheels with newer BF Goodrich tires. New/rebuilt motor and tranny, no leaks in the drive way!!!

History: I bought this a few years ago as I always wanted a Chevy short bed truck. When i bought it the gentleman I bought it from flipped it from a family that had owned it for 39 years. It needed a lot of work as explained above. This truck is really cool as it sits and the only things I would do would be to replace front bushings to ease up the squeeking if that bothers you, but the truck drives very tight as I did replace the front sway bar bushings, and maybe replace the floor mat, but again, it matches the trucks patina. This truck is very reliable and what I like is it has no leaks which is tought to do with these old trucks. This truck is very reliable on a daily bases.

Shipping: This is for local pick up only. Buyer will have to make his own arraingments.

This truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end listing at any time.

This truck is being sold as is, where is, and no warranty of any kind is expressed. You buy it its yours as is.

Thank you.

2020 Ford Escape hybrids vs other crossover fuel sippers: How they compare on paper

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Along with a new generation of Escape, Ford also reintroduced the world to the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And if that weren't enough, Ford is adding a plug-in hybrid version. This is a sign of the times: people are more crossover crazy than ever, but are also seeking ways to use less fuel, whether it's for environmental or purely money-motivated reasons. The Ford hybrids aren't the only fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the market. They will be going head-to-head with conventional hybrids including the 2019 Kia Niro, 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid and 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There are other plug-in hybrids including the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV, 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the plug-in version of the 2019 Kia Niro. There are even a couple diesels in the form of the 2019 Chevy Equinox and 2019 GMC Terrain. So we've rounded up the details on all these crossovers to see who leads and lags in criteria such as power, fuel efficiency, space and price. Check out all their details below. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid View 68 Photos How do their engines and fuel economy compare? Conventional Hybrids and Diesels Let's face it, if you're buying one of these crossovers, one of the things that matters most to you is just how frugal with fuel they are. We'll start off with the conventional hybrids and diesels, and the clear victor is the Kia Niro, which in base FE trim, manages to hit 50 mpg combined. This is thanks to it sharing its powertrain with the Hyundai Ioniq, the Hyundai equivalent of the Toyota Prius. Buyers should take note that only the FE returns such high fuel economy. The LX and EX drop to 49 mpg, and the S Touring and Touring get 43. Even then, the least efficient Niro is the most efficient of the normal hybrids and diesels. It is nearly the least powerful, though, with 139 horsepower. Just behind it is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers 40 mpg combined, and it has an ace up its sleeve: it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Every other vehicle in this powertrain group has front drive standard, and the Niro isn't available with all-wheel drive at all. If that weren't enough, the RAV4 Hybrid also boasts the most power at 219 horses. While we can't say anything about Escape Hybrid fuel economy, we do know that it will make 198 horsepower, which is close to the class-leading RAV4. The least powerful of these is the Equinox and Terrain, and they return the worst fuel economy at 32 mpg.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
