1983 Chevrolet K30 Short Bed Dually 4x4 on 2040-cars
Southwest, Pennsylvania, United States
|
NOTE: The truck was currently enhanced for inspection and had a new inspection sticker on it. The only reason the title shows reconstructed is because it was rebuilt into a custom truck. There is nothing wrong with the truck at all and has never been wrecked. For sale is a custom 1 ton 1983 Chevy short bed 4X4 dually. This truck used to be a wrecker until the frame was shortened up to put a six foot bed on the truck. It has a strong running big block 454 motor in it that I recently got a Weiand intake and a Holley 750 double pumper carb installed on it. The truck show 77,500 miles on the odometer but I have no proof that that is correct. Overall driving performance from the truck is impressive, and it runs very strong and never skips a beat for being about 30 years old. This truck has a 4 speed manual transmission in it with 4.56 gearing and was made for hauling or pulling. Inside the cab is in good shape for its age with the usual tear on the side of the drivers seat. Little things like the controls don't work to change the heat from the defrosters need fixed. Aftermarket CD player was installed with different speakers. Dash pad has a blue cover on it and the door panels are in good shape also with minimal fading but they need new trim work installed. The Speedometer, Voltage, and Gas Gauge all currently work. The oil pressure gauge and the water gauge work sometimes and other times they are bottomed out at zero. All of the lights outside of the truck currently work except for one of the license plate lights. High and low beams also work nicely with the switch on the floor. The floor is a vinyl mat fitted out of a newer Chevy truck so it is not original in any way. On the outside of the truck, the body had currently was painted in the newer Chevy Topaz Blue Metallic and looks pretty nice. The bed was taken off and a spot of rust on the passenger side was fixed with a small panel right behind the wheel well and there is a small crack there where the putty was. The truck comes with Bushwacker flares if you would like them because the tires stick out just a little bit because it is a cab and chassis rear end and not a wider dually rear end. In the pictures it has mud flaps on it and I have currently taken them off, but they will come with the truck too. When the bed was taken off it was wire brushed and undercoated with rubberized undercoating and is still in great shape, and comes with the bed liner. The tailgate that is on it now is black because it was the nicest one that I have and due to little time was not able to paint it. Underneath on the frame there is no rot just a little bit of surface rust starting to form on the leaf springs and on the rear end. Overall, the truck runs strong, shifts great, and pulls hard. The only mechanical problems under the hood that I know of is that there is a pinhole in the power steering hose "leaves drips in parking stall sometimes" and it needs a fan shroud. The rear end sometimes has some fluid on it but they told me it is just a gasket and it does not leak a significant amount it just sometimes leaves a few drops here and there. There are too many things to list with this truck so any questions feel free to email me. A non refundable $500.00 deposit is required after within 24 hours of the auction ending. The vehicle needs to be picked up within 5 days of the auction ending. Also the truck is for sale locally so I have the right to end the auction early if need be. Thanks for looking. |

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.
It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt
Thu, Dec 25 2014The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
