Up for auction is what I consider one of the hardest to find in nice condition of all the 67-72 Chev. and GMC trucks. A low-mileage almost completely original 3/4 ton K-20 4X4.

This was a one owner truck that spent it's entire life in Idaho with a full size camper on the back of it, used for hunting and fishing and occasionally lived in at various construction sites, as the owner was a construction worker.

I bought the truck from his grandson who received the truck from his estate. He could remember many hunting and fishing trips in the truck and said it was his grandpa's pride and joy, and the condition reflex's it.

Now to the trucks condition, it is a very straight, honest, mostly original truck. He at some point did an upper end job in the motor to install hardened valve seats, and while at it installed headers, dual exhaust and a Mallory unilite pointless ignition. The truck runs excellent and also seems to have a mild shift kit.

The paint appears to be mostly original but I am sure it has been touched up in some areas, but not due to any rust issues, as this truck is amazingly solid. It still has the "original" wood bed in it that is in excellent condition. I had it taped off and rhino lined to protect it, and if you look at the pictures you can see he had installed on the roof what I take to be a CB antenna.

Now to the things I messed with. I put a new chrome bezel on the gauge cluster, and also took an extra glove box door and ash tray cover and had them chromed and painted original color on the inside with only the outside edge left chrome. (something I do with all these trucks) I installed a new chrome front and rear bumper so they would match as I didn't like the "fit everything" step bumper on the back. Also new wheels with some good tires I had around, they have about 50% tread. I also installed a new seat cover. The rubber mat and dash pad seat cover. The rubber mat and dash pad are original, as are the door panels. I replaced the black lower trim with some very nice used wood grain I had stuck away.

The truck came with the really nice bed rail protectors on it, which I have never seen before. I added the tool box and splash guards to continue the theme. I also added a 3-spoke wheel, but the original will be put back in. It is nice with only 1 crack. The under carriage is so clean and rust free you can clean it with a steel wool pad.

Well that's about all I can think of, but if there's anything else you want to know you can email or call me at 507-456-2957. People know I have this truck, so it could be gone at most anytime.

Give it a good look and some serious consideration, this is a nice truck!

Good Luck Bidding

P.S. Two of the upper grille mounting brackets are broken. A new grille is included with the truck.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.
