Lincoln, California, United States

This is a Very Nice Chevy truck. Big widow, Short bed Fleet side. With the original aluminum grill and chrome front bumper. Has later style rear chrome bumper that looks very nice and is a lot stronger than original.  Original black and yellow plates. Currently registered and insured in my name. It was parked inside a shop in the LA area in 1992. It sat there dry and protected from the elements untill I bought it on ebay in 2012. The motor was frozen (it was a 1972 350) and it had the stock suspension on it. So I removed everything and upgraded to the following. And I still have the original front suspension if you want it.  

 Newer Drive train from my 1992 Chevy Caprice That was really owned by a little old lady. I used all the accessories and brackets from the 1992. I replaced every gasket and seal when the motor was out. I also installed all new motor mounts and transmission mounts. New water pump. New alternator. Rebuilt HEI distributor with new Plug wires and AC Delco plugs. New Edelbrock aluminum intake. Rochester carburator. New chrome valve covers and Air cleaner. New temperature sending unit. New heater hoses. New radiator hoses. New electric fuel pump. New electric radiator fan with temp relay. All new wiring with seperate fuses. All the gauges work like they should. 

The bed. It is super straight and rust free. Still has the original wood. It was painted with spatter paint about 25 years ago and needs repainted. But the wood is still good. 

The guy before me installed extra gas tanks under the body and did a very nice job. He frenched in the gas tank caps into the bed and did a clean job on that too. I am not using them. I installed a new sending unit in the original gas tank and cleaned it out before installing it behind the seat like it was from the factory.

The drive train has New 90wt rear end oil and gasket. New drive shaft with new u-joints balanced. New tranny pan gasket and filter and flued.  New torq converter lock up  kit with relay. 

The Brakes have all new rubber hoses related. New master brake cylinder. New fluid. They work great. 

Steering. New power steering pump. New p/s hoses. New Fluid. New alignment. Steering wheel sits straight the truck goes down the road nice.   Even the turn signals turn off after turns like it should. 

The motor and tranny only have about 110,000 miles on them. It starts up every time hot or cold. Has never leaked a drop of anything since I installed them about 3000 miles ago.  

This truck is not what I consider a show truck. But it really gets a lot of attention. And I have used it in 3 parades and always get thumbs up.  It has had one paint job on it and that was done about 25 years ago. It Shines very nice but I found a few places that have rust. Both fender bottoms and the left bottom cab corner. I took good pictures of them . When I removed the original floor mat. There was some small spots of rust by the door sill about the size of a pencil.. so I put P.O.R.15 on the areas that needed it. There was also a small hole under the heater about 2-3 inches around. I sealed it also. The rest of the floor is the original metal and factory paint. The hood got a bad scratch in it from my garage door opener. I took a picture of that too. The under side has most of its original under coating on it. 

The only things it still needs is the speedo hooked up. And the A/C was blowing cold until the freon leaked out the compressor seal last week. So you will need a rebuilt compressor for a 1992 caprice. Also the sun roof leaks. I have a roof from another truck if you want to go back original. I am sure I forgot something so 

Truck is located in Lincoln, California. 95648.

Buyer is responsible for shipping.

This truck is over 45 years old and may have some things needing attention. It is sold as is. Recommend having a 3rd party do an inspection for the buyer to get his or her own personal opinion before bidding. 

PLEASE ask any questions before bidding. 

PLEASE READ ENTIRE AD BEFORE CALLING. Thanks Scott 916-521-8943

The reason I am selling it is to buy a 1967 convertible mustang.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
