1964 Short Bed Fleet Side Big Window California Truck Original Metel on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:110000
Location:

Lincoln, California, United States

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.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
