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.

GM invests $24 million to build more crew cab trucks in Fort Wayne

Thu, May 30 2019

The full-size pickup truck arms race continues unabated here in the United States as Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler battle back and forth for sales supremacy. The Ford F-Series of trucks continues to lead the field in sales (214,611 units sold through the first quarter of 2019), but the race for second place has been a lot more interesting to watch. That's because Ram, long a distant third in truck sales, eked its way past Chevrolet late in 2018 and has managed to hold the position so far in 2019. Don't take this to mean that sales of GM's trucks have been poor across the board. In fact, the automaker reports that sales of its four-door crew cab pickups are up 20 percent in 2019 over the same period a year ago. And that's what makes GM's announcement today so interesting. The automaker is investing $24 million into its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana to build more Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, and the focus will continue to be on crew cab models. "We are building Chevrolet and GMC crew cab pickups at record volume and mix levels to meet customer demand and the $24 million investment will allow us to build even more," said GM chief Mary Barra in a statement. "Crew cab sales have been very strong, and we are expanding customer choice with new models, more cab choices and innovative new powertrains." It's worth noting that, if crew cab sales are up 20% this year, but overall sales are down (over 15% for Silverado and around 2% for GMC), that means it's the cheaper regular cab and double cab models that are lagging. At the same time, sales of the midsize Chevy Colorado have surged 16%. And finally, if you combine sales of the Silverado and Sierra into one bucket, GM still has a comfortable lead over Ram overall. If there's a takeaway here, it's that trucks of all shapes and sizes have been, currently are and will surely remain hot in America, and automakers will continue to invest money into making sure they are able to satiate consumer demand.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
