1966 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Short Bed Step Side on 2040-cars
|
This 1966 Chevrolet K10 is FACTORY ORIGINAL and has been in my family since the late-1960s. It needs restoration but drive it while you do so!. My grandfather bought it from the original owner's widow. I was with him when he drove it home. I have the protecto-plate and the build sheet is still behind the seat. It has a strong-running 292 6cyl and 4 speed. Warn Hubs and I think a Spicer system underneath, but I'm no expert. You will notice I took photos under the hood when it was running. You can see there is a dealer-installed generator with a pto that once went to a wench. Also, there is a dealer-installed spot light. Everything works as it should. It has 72,XXX miles on it, but when grandpa died in 1991 and I titled it in my name, the DMV insisted that it had to show 172,XXX because the odometer only went to 99,999!!! They did the same thing to me with my 1965 F100 with 51,000 - can't beat city hall. Just look at the pictures of the pedals and floor mat at the accelerator and you can tell it has not been driven that far. It has rust on the fenders (apparently Chevrolet wanted that to happen because they ALL have it). The driver's cab corner has one small spot, and the passenger cab corner looks good (the green paint is rustoleum - mom's idea). On the passenger side underneath is a small rust spot on the rail to the cab support but can be fixed easily - see photo. All the cab supports look good. Also, the passenger door has some rust on bottom. Both rockers are good. It has surface rust elsewhere but nothing major. The wood in the bed appears good but grandpa put diamond plate over it so no guarantees, but I took a photo from underneath so you can sort of see it is in tact. The seat needs to be re-done and the tail gate has a slight bow from weight. The front bed rail is straight. It needs a new muffler. I have replaced the heater motor, ignition switch, head lights, tail lights and lens, the battery and cables, all the hoses, and put a new front drive line on because the slip yolk on the original was sloppy. It is licensed and I am driving it. Obviously it needs restoration, but this is the best start that you will find and the ones that are done are going for 30k plus. I live in Elko, Nevada and am right off of Interstate 80 so I can deliver the truck to you at the freeway to your car hauler or I can store the vehicle for you for a couple of weeks. This thing has (I think) 488 gearing so it is not a freeway machine. The lucky winner can put down a $500 deposit on Paypal and give the rest in cash. Money orders or checks will have to clear before I release the vehicle to you so expect two weeks delay if you go that route. If you win the auction and put down a deposit and when you come to pick up the truck, if it is not as described I will return your deposit and I will contact the next highest bidder. You can call me at 480-540-7633 with any questions or if you want additional pictures or to chat about the truck's condition. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Lots of pictures but Ebay only let me post 24. Don't bid unless you are serious, you have the means to get the truck shipped or pick it up yourself, and you can pay for it. Finally, I reserve the right to end the auction early because the truck if for sale locally. However, I won't end the auction early if there is a bid on the truck. Thanks, and good luck.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
