1978 Chevrolet Cheyenne "big Ten" Chevy Truck Classic Pickup . Original Survivor on 2040-cars
Klickitat, Washington, United States
Up for Auction Today is my 1978 Chevy Cheyenne Big Ten. I bought this Truck from the second owner in the small town where I live. The first owner owned it from new till 1981 when he traded it in @ a Dealer in The Dalles Oregon, The owner I bought it from owned it from 1981 till This Summer When I purchased it. All The people in Klickitat Wa. where I live and found the truck say the first owner never left town with it the time he owned it. (Klickitat is about 1 mile long.) The owner I bought it from said he drove it to the dalles about 1 time a month from 1981-1992 when he parked it with a transmission leak. He swore up and down it has 21,000 miles but I have no proof of that, So Im selling it as mileage unknown! This is a big ten Model which means its a 1/2 ton with 3/4 ton chassis. Google Big Ten Chevy and it will give you a couple page explanation of this package. Truck Runs really well as it should and the transmission has been removed, inspected and resealed by a professional mechanic. He also installed a stage 1 shift kit while he was re installing it. Truck does puff a tiny bit of smoke upon start up but vanishes almost instantly. i believe is a dried out valve seal causing it. it does not use oil at all though. I had a Factory 1978 Chevrolet tailpipe/muffler installed in august. Tires have 600 miles on then and cost me $860.00 I also had wheels powder coated at same time. belt,radiator,hoses have all been replaced. Truck has cruise control but needs cable from speedo to cruise box. right know theres a speedo cable from trans to speedo. vehicle is equipt. with air condioning but needs recharged. system is complete though. Interior is in great shape but will need a seat cover as its starting to split at seems. headliner sags so it needs to be re glued or replaced. dash is nice but speaker grill cracked this winter. I've driven this truck about 2000 miles since purchase and its been very reliable. It also has brand new battery.Body has been lightly polished and waxed.Comes with nice used factory gm grille that needs a new bow tie. I'm only selling because I'm having one of my kidneys removed on march 27 and need money for bills while I'm off. Please feel Free to call me with any questions (I really encourage it) . DO NOT BID TO LOOK AT VEHICLE, YOUR BIDDING TO OWN THIS NICE UNMOLESTED TRUCK. THIS TRUCK IS NOT PERFECT BUT I BELIEVE IT TO BEEN IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND WORTHY OF A RESTORATION.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
