1971 CHEVY K10 1/2 TON 4x4

This is a solid project that runs excellent. These chevy's are great pickups to restore and have very good resale, or are good to keep for investments. This '71 was owned by an older gentleman for a long time. Probably at least back into the 70's. He took very good care of it and it was restored once. The restoration has deteriorated over the years and it needs restored again, but is a solid start and has little rust. Here are the details on the chevy.

THERE ARE MORE PICTURES IN THE PHOTOBUCKET LINK AT THE END OF THE DESCRIPTION.

MECHANICAL

This pickup has a 454 big block V8. It runs great and sounds nice. It does not smoke at all and has no knocks or ticks. It runs cool and has great oil pressure. The carburetor may need rebuilt. It's cold blooded but really probably needs to just have some tanks of gas run through it. The engine looks stock for the most part but has an aluminum intake. I'm not sure on the year of the engine. It has good power but I'm sure a tuneup, RV cam, and headers would liven it upsome also. This has dual exhaust that sounds good and is in good shape. This truck has highway gearing, most likely 3.08's. Transmission shifts as it should with no problems or major leaks. No "dripping" leaks on the truck but has the usual old truck seepage. Transfer case is a 205 that works fine. 4x4 works as it should. All lights work. Parking brake, lighter, heater, turn signals, horn, wipers, tachometer, speedometer, etc. all work. This has power steering and power brakes with front discs. Rearend is a 12-bolt but not sure if it's a posi. The truck drives really nice down the road. Frontend feels tight and sound. Tires are older and not great. Wheels are old-school steel chrome cragars with matching spare. They might clean up with steel wool. Overall, the truck will need very little mechanically. Probably just the fluids checked/changed, but I'm sure a tune-up wouldn't hurt it.

BODY

The body is solid overall, but does have some of the usual rust issues that 71's will have. The previous owner had it painted once and the front fenders were changed I believe, and emblems on them. I'm not an expert on these trucks so maybe all 1/2 tons had c10 emblems. The whole front clip is in nice shape and has no rust. Frame has no rust. Box appears rust free but has some bubbling behind rear wheels. It is not rusted through and I think it's just related to the old paint. I tried to poke through the bubbling with an ice pick and could not. No other rust on the box. Outer rockers and cab corners look fine. Inner rockers have a little rust. The usual area. Drivers floorpan has some rust. Passenger does not have rust. One floor support on each side, has some rust which you can see in the photobucket link. Definitely still usable and solid but would need changed for a nice resto. I'm sure they're reproduced. The rest of the cab looks nice. Drivers door has some rust at the bottom that is fixable. You can see it in the pic with the door open. Passenger door is good. I've looked at many of these pickups for sale over the years and they usually have considerably more rust than this truck. The drivers side of the box has a dent behind the rear wheel area that you can see in the picture. Not major, but will require some work to straighten it out before painting. The truck was originally a mint green color. Topper is in good condition.

INTERIOR

The interior is pretty basic and simple and mostly original. Usable as-is, but would need usual restoration if your fixing it up nice. Seat springs aren't worn out and upholstery is in usable condition. Doors close as they should. Windows roll up/down. I believe everything works but not sure that the original radio does. 

OVERALL

 This is a great old chevy 4x4 to restore. Doesn't appear to ever have been hammered on. I bought it from the son of the older guy that had owned it for a long time. The father was there when I bought it though, and had another chevy of this vintage that he had bought new. He fixed this particular pickup up to drive instead of the other one, as I think he wanted one with an auto.Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions.

Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and EV Buyer's Guide: Which one do you want?

Fri, Nov 10 2017

If you're shopping for a new vehicle these days, there's a litany of acronyms, buzzwords, and technobabble to further complicate an already difficult decision. But if you're looking at a green powertrain, you have three basic choices to compare: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and "EV" or, electric vehicle. So what are they and which one — if any — is right for you? Research your next new vehicle using Autoblog's Car Finder. Gasoline-Electric Hybrids By now, most people are familiar with the concept of a hybrid car. Thank Toyota's Prius for that. At its most basic, a hybrid vehicle has two powertrains, one gasoline and one electric, which work together for maximum efficiency. At low speeds, the engine can shut off entirely, relying solely on the battery for propulsion. The battery is either charged as you drive by converting kinetic energy into potential energy via a complex regenerative braking system, or directly off of the gas motor. This is a very hands-off, behind-the-scenes system as all the driver has to is put in gas and drive as normal. Hybrids come in all shapes and sizes and, according to the EPA, range in fuel economy from 58 mpg for the Hyundai Ioniq Blue all the way down to 13 mpg for the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. Best For: Anyone who want to see their fuel consumption go down without many sacrifices. You can easily find a hybrid sedan, hatchback, crossover, SUV or even a pickup truck (i f you can find one). Best of all, a hybrid requires no special equipment to be installed at home, or added work for the driver. Hybrids do cost more than traditionally-powered competitors, so make sure to compare projected fuel savings with how much extra a hybrid will cost – it may take a surprisingly long time to break even. The EPA provides a handy calculator for this very purpose. Our Favorite Hybrids: 2017 Toyota Prius 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Plug-In Hybrids Sometimes referred to as a PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, this is a baby-step towards full electrification. Armed with a much larger battery pack than a hybrid, PHEVs can go between 12 ( Mercedes-Benz GLE550e) and 97 ( BMW i3 w/Range Extender) miles on electricity alone depending on the model and your driving style. Like a normal hybrid, the driver is largely unaware of which power source is currently in use, even as they switch over — either because the battery is drained, or the driving circumstances require more power.

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans

Tue, Apr 30 2019

According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response. Green Rumormill Chevrolet GMC Truck Electric Future Vehicles Mary Barra electric truck chevrolet silverado
