I had to list it as a C-10 because ebay does not give a C-20 option.  

Let's keep this as short as possible:

If you are looking for a resto-modified, lowered, lifted, color-changed, leathered-up, blinged-out pick-up with 24" chrome wheels and a stereo more powerful than the engine........... this is NOT your truck.

But if you are searching for a mostly original, unaltered, unabused, classic Chevy C-20, than you are looking at the right pick-up.

What we have here is an honest 1972 C-20 with a factory big block and WORKING factory A/C. 
It originated in dry Eastern Washington and was used to haul around a pick-up Camper. That's the reason why it is equipped with front stabilizer, rear suspension leaf springs, heavy duty front shocks and camper mirrors. It also has two extra tanks on each side of the truck bed.

It is medium olive metallic with a white top. It was repainted many years ago and the paint still shows very nicely.
There is absolutely no rust on this truck and the rocker panels, cab corners and the truck bed are in excellent condition.
I added the brackets for a DrawTite 5th wheel hitch, but I never used it. The complete hitch assembly comes with the truck.

The interior is olive cloth and it was reupholstered with the original material about a year ago. It is like new again.

The dash has one very small crack (about 1 cm long).

The original green rubber floor shows some wear on the driver side.

The right door panel seems to be a darker green (instead of the olive green) and shows some scuffs.

There are a couple of small dents on the right door where the mirror is attached.

A tachometer was added to the steering column and it works.

The orig. AM radio is completely intact and plays fine.

A/C was just completely rebuilt, using the orig. housing of the compressor, and refilled with R12. It is freezing cold.

Since I collect mainly European classic cars, my in-depth knowledge about classic Chevrolets is unfortunately not great. 

What I can tell you though, the power and the sound of this monster is unbelievable.
It has hooker headers, a "mild" cam and flowmasters.  It is the perfect "sleeper" truck.
It looks like the engine was rebuilt, since it runs absolutely flawlessly.
The Turbo 400 transmission also works perfectly.

This truck needs nothing and has no issues.  I would not hesitate to drive it across country if the cost of fuel was not a factor. LOL.
It has a clear Washington title in my name with 1972 YOM (year of manufacture) plates  which can stay with the truck.
It is smog exempt in California and most, if not all, other states.

Buttomline, it is 41 years old, has aged gracefully and brings a smile to your face every time you drive it.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.
