1971 Chevy Truck K-20 Custom Deluxe Disc Brakes Semi-original on 2040-cars
Hermiston, Oregon, United States
|
I am selling my 1971 K-20 custom deluxe. This truck is an excellent driver and I have taken it on very long trips and aside from getting terrible gas mileage and not having AC, the truck drives without issue.
Here is what I have done to the truck recently: New grille, bumper, and turn signal lenses New steering linkage and steering gear New front and rear shocks New tires (cooper AT3s) at 95%+ Replaced driver's side rocker panel New dash bezel, seat cover, dash pad, and "rubber" carpet New windshield New radiator New rear wheel bearings and new brakes New battery Carburetor was rebuilt by me and the truck runs great. The carb is not original, but I do have the original quadrajet. Was going to rebuild it but never got the chance. At some point this was upgraded to an HEI distributor. The truck has a couple auxillary fuel tanks that were added by some previous owner. I removed the filler neck from the passenger side and butt welded a patch in the hole. There was also a big CB antenna where holes were drilled through the cab and I butt welded a patch here too. This truck originally had both upper and lower molding, but you can see most of it is missing. I believe this truck used to haul a camper, hence the missing trim and camper tie down hook provisions. I do have almost all of the NEW replacement trim I kept aside, with intentions on painting the truck but never did. This truck did not come with a radio. There is no hole in the cowl for an antenna and the original radio delete plate is present to block the hole. The negatives on this truck - it needs a choke, and the washer motor pump needs replaced. It does have a dent in the top of the tailgate. There are a few other small dings from over the years but none would be difficult to repair if you wanted to paint this. The cigar lighter does not work. it simply needs the wire which runs from the back of the lighter element to the fuse block. Somebody had put in an aftermarket temp gauge into this truck and I broke the capillary line so that will need repaired or the temp gauge will not work. Truck does not overheat, however. I have an original gauge pod to put in the cluster. The 4 wheel drive works great. This has an open diff with (I believe) dana 44 front and the heavy Eaton rear. At some stage, someone upgraded the front hubs to Warn. The engine was rebuilt by the guy I bought it from some years ago. (I have a receipt somewhere) I have no idea on the mileage of this but I would assume it is whatever the odometer says plus 100,000. If you would like photos of anything in particular, please message me. I can also take videos of the truck running if needed. As I stated, it runs and drives great, and I would drive it anywhere. (OK maybe not with gas at 4.00/gal!) Truck was built in Fremont, CA and sold new at Joe Romania Chevrolet. I have the paperwork for this truck. I am perfectly willing to drive the truck to meet your shipper if that is to be your mode of transportation. It has current tags and is insured. |

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
