** 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!

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
