1971 Chevrolet Ck Pickup 2500 on 2040-cars
Pe Ell, Washington, United States
Auto restoration shop offers the owner’s personal 1971 Chevy K20 4x4 Pickup. We built this truck for the owner,
just test/tune miles since completion. This is a factory K20, the 4x4’s never got a big block from the factory,
we built a nice 454 for this truck, the big block conversion was done correctly. This is a rust free high desert
Oregon truck. This truck has some nice options, built to be driven and used. This truck could be proudly shown at
any car show, but was not built with than intention. We have quite a bit more money in this build than it’s
worth, shop owner has been selling off some of his vintage car collection for business expansion. This is his last
and favorite Chevy pickup. This truck is big, loud, fast and mean. Everywhere this truck has been driven gets
conversations, photo requests and thumbs up. Not many factory 4x4’s out there built to this level. I believe the
1971/2 Chevy K20 was the best pickup ever built.
MECHANICAL
We started with a 70’s Gen IV Big Block 454. Large oval port “781” casting heads, forged internals, Comp 282
hydraulic camshaft, Crane roller rockers, balanced rotating assembly. Edelbrock aluminum intake, 750 CFM Edelbrock
4 barrel carburetor electric choke, HEI (electronic) ignition. Headers are long tube for a Chevelle, best setup for
this conversion. Aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. 454 built for torque, with a bumpy cam, with incredible
low-mid range power you want in a 4x4. We never Dynoed this motor but guess it’s in the 425-450 Horse & 500+ ft
lb TQ range. We’ve seen so many times guys go too far on a BBC 4x4 build with rectangle port car heads and a huge
cam which gives only top end power you don’t want in a 4x4. We have the ignition timing set for premium pump
fuel. Dual 2 ½ in exhaust to dual 40 series Flowmaster mufflers. Power steering, large hub open knuckle disc brake
front axle, heavy duty Eaton rear axle, both original to the truck, 4.10 gears. Rebuilt TH-350 automatic
transmission with shift kit to rebuilt 205 gear driven transfer case. Part time T-Case with 2H 4H N 4L. Skyjacker
lift kit and shocks, brand new 35’s on new aluminum wheels.
We believe this to be one of the best 67-72 4x4 trucks out there, built tough to be used. This is not a 1000 point
trailer queen show car, it is a very nice excellent condition driver. Finding a solid restorable 4x4, restoring,
converting to big block would cost near double the asking price and take time to build, save money and time to buy
it done.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
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.
Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]
Tue, Apr 1 2014UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
