1968 Chevy Short-bed, 4x4 on 2040-cars
Bend, Oregon, United States
** This truck has a low reserve set **
This truck runs really strong with the later model Vortec 350 engine. This truck was purchased by a friend a couple years ago for a complete restoration. Well, he ended up not being able to swing it and needing money because of having two little kids and changing jobs, and I ended up with a truck I don’t really need or know much about. The truck is a 1968 Chevy short-bed, 4x4. It is not a cut-down long-bed like many guys are doing these days. It is an original short-bed which are getting very hard to find. I am not positive, but believe it may have originally been a 2wd that was converted to 4wd somewhere along the line, according to the VIN number, (I think the "C" would be a "K"? Not sure 46 years ago?) but regardless it is a very solid, cool looking and great running pickup. For its age, it’s actually in pretty good shape. It has: - A later model Vortec 350 engine converted to an Edelbrock intake and holly carb (with the info I was given, it has just over 15k miles on rebuild). It fires up instantly and runs good and strong! - Turbo 350 transmission - 208 transfer case. - 1/2 ton running gear with what we believe to be 4:56 gears. - Electric fuel pump. - Disk front brakes. - Power steering. - Newer “Optima” gel battery. - New battery cables. - Newer “Warn” lock-in hubs. - Receiver hitch. - Newer heater core. - Newer radiator. - Nice alloy wheels with 33/12.5/15 Mickey Thompson tires. - Rancho off-road shocks all the way around - Solid flange headers and 2.5" dual Flowmaster exhaust - Has a complete Painless wiring harness and fuse block. - New Phantom Autometer gauges and a new billet dash insert. - Tilt column. - Steering wheel out of 88-94 Chevy truck. - New carpet. - New door seals. - New door sill plates - Power windows. - New LED tail lights and LED license plate bolt lights. - 60/40 bench seat out of a late 80's Chevy truck. (In good shape, it’s just red underneath the cover) - Blazer fuel tank conversion in rear of truck between frame rails (fill spout thru bed floor).
This truck is what I call a “15-20' paint job”. It looks great 15-20 feet
away, but up close it has flaws. Not super bad, but it does have dings,
chips, flaking, etc.. Please see the
attached pictures. The body has a good
appearance from a short distance, but if you were to restore it, it would need
a little love. The body and cab floor are solid and in good shape with what
appears to be no rust, but it does have the normal areas of slight decay for
these trucks in the rockers, left cab corner, etc. Some have been worked, some haven't (left cab
corner and rockers need done eventually, but are fine for now. I have a brand new left cab corner I will send with the truck). Whoever patched
the old gas filler neck in the cab did a terrible job because some bondo is
heaving, but again it’s a pretty solid old truck that has a ton of potential,
or just drive it the way it is and get thumbs up all day! One nice thing about these old trucks is you
can’t really lose money if you take care of them and maintain them
somewhat. They will always increase in
value. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions! A signed, clear title and Bill of Sale will
be sent certified mail after final payment is received.
I will work with the new buyer to help out anyway I can for transport. $500 deposit due immediately after auction end to PayPal with the remaining balance due as a certified cashiers check or bank wire transfer within 7 days. The faster you take care of business, the faster you get your new truck! Any questions at all, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking! |

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]
Tue, Apr 1 2014UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.  Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty
Mon, Jan 26 2015Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.
