1968 Chevy Short-bed, 4x4 on 2040-cars
Bend, Oregon, United States
|
** This truck has a low reserve set **
This truck runs really strong with the later model Vortec 350 engine. This truck was purchased by a friend a couple years ago for a complete restoration. Well, he ended up not being able to swing it and needing money because of having two little kids and changing jobs, and I ended up with a truck I don’t really need or know much about. The truck is a 1968 Chevy short-bed, 4x4. It is not a cut-down long-bed like many guys are doing these days. It is an original short-bed which are getting very hard to find. I am not positive, but believe it may have originally been a 2wd that was converted to 4wd somewhere along the line, according to the VIN number, (I think the "C" would be a "K"? Not sure 46 years ago?) but regardless it is a very solid, cool looking and great running pickup. For its age, it’s actually in pretty good shape. It has: - A later model Vortec 350 engine converted to an Edelbrock intake and holly carb (with the info I was given, it has just over 15k miles on rebuild). It fires up instantly and runs good and strong! - Turbo 350 transmission - 208 transfer case. - 1/2 ton running gear with what we believe to be 4:56 gears. - Electric fuel pump. - Disk front brakes. - Power steering. - Newer “Optima” gel battery. - New battery cables. - Newer “Warn” lock-in hubs. - Receiver hitch. - Newer heater core. - Newer radiator. - Nice alloy wheels with 33/12.5/15 Mickey Thompson tires. - Rancho off-road shocks all the way around - Solid flange headers and 2.5" dual Flowmaster exhaust - Has a complete Painless wiring harness and fuse block. - New Phantom Autometer gauges and a new billet dash insert. - Tilt column. - Steering wheel out of 88-94 Chevy truck. - New carpet. - New door seals. - New door sill plates - Power windows. - New LED tail lights and LED license plate bolt lights. - 60/40 bench seat out of a late 80's Chevy truck. (In good shape, it’s just red underneath the cover) - Blazer fuel tank conversion in rear of truck between frame rails (fill spout thru bed floor).
This truck is what I call a “15-20' paint job”. It looks great 15-20 feet
away, but up close it has flaws. Not super bad, but it does have dings,
chips, flaking, etc.. Please see the
attached pictures. The body has a good
appearance from a short distance, but if you were to restore it, it would need
a little love. The body and cab floor are solid and in good shape with what
appears to be no rust, but it does have the normal areas of slight decay for
these trucks in the rockers, left cab corner, etc. Some have been worked, some haven't (left cab
corner and rockers need done eventually, but are fine for now. I have a brand new left cab corner I will send with the truck). Whoever patched
the old gas filler neck in the cab did a terrible job because some bondo is
heaving, but again it’s a pretty solid old truck that has a ton of potential,
or just drive it the way it is and get thumbs up all day! One nice thing about these old trucks is you
can’t really lose money if you take care of them and maintain them
somewhat. They will always increase in
value. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions! A signed, clear title and Bill of Sale will
be sent certified mail after final payment is received.
I will work with the new buyer to help out anyway I can for transport. $500 deposit due immediately after auction end to PayPal with the remaining balance due as a certified cashiers check or bank wire transfer within 7 days. The faster you take care of business, the faster you get your new truck! Any questions at all, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking! |

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas
Wed, Oct 3 2018The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
