MECHANICAL
The chevy has the original 240 horsepower 4-barrel 327 V8. It runs great and doesn't smoke at all. Has good oil pressure and runs cool. It has good tires with about 50% tread. This has
manual steering and brakes. Brakes work good. Parking brake works. Original radio. Everything on the interior appears original. Original broadcast sheet/build sheet is still in the glovebox. Jack and handle are behind the seat and appear original. No a/c. Four speed manual works as it should. Throw-out bearing has a little noise but not bad. It's completely driveable. No major leaks but has the usual seepage. I was told the engine could have low miles on a rebuild. I have no paperwork though. It does run very strong and starts right up. It has a performer RPM intake. It sounds like it may have an RV cam. Exhaust sounds good. Has good power and is probably closer to 300hp now. The truck needs no major mechanical work. I'm sure a tune-up/fluid change wouldn't hurt but it doesn't really need it. Drives good down the highway. The headlights, taillights, turnsignals, horn, parking brake and wipers work. Original radio doesn't come on. BODY The body is very solid for an unrestored truck of this
vintage. These trucks are known for having bad rust problems. This truck has no rust in the box. Drivers fender is nice. Passenger has tiny amount of pinhole rust starting in the low corner. Hood has minor rust but another better hood is included. Inner fenders and frame have no rust. Header, firewall, roof and dash are fine. Cab has the usual rocker rust. Has floorpan rust close to the rockers but not too bad. Will need to be fixed though. Usable as is and no worry about your feet falling out. One cab corner needs repaired. The other one looks ok but I would do both if you do the one, because it's most likely thin if the other is.Minor rust on bottom of the doors. Paint appears original and from my experience, I'm confident that it is. Original 8000 gvw sticker is still on the box on the drivers sidee. No signs of bondo. Original owner sprayed primer here and there to cover surface rust. Most of it's faded off now though. Box is mostly straight but has a couple wrinkles to be fixed. Tailgate opens/closes and latches, as do the doors and hood. INTERIOR This is pretty basic and the pics tell the story. It all looks original and it is usable but needs restored. OVERALL This is a very cool chevy project. How many do you see
at car shows? I see lots of custom shortbox stepsides, which I like, but it's
cool to seen an original restored 4x4. I would personally drive it as-is and it would be nice to put an original set of hubcaps on it. Feel free to ask questions and make an offer. I can talk via phone if
you'd like. SOLD AS-IS |

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015
Thu, Jan 14 2016According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
