I AM THE 3RD OWNER. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO TO DRIVE AND ENJOY. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE COSMETIC WORK TO THE TRUCK, BEING MINDFUL OF ORIGINALITY. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO FULL MECHANICAL ORIGINALITY BY INSTALLING THE 292 WITH ORIGINAL EXHAUST, BUT SINCE THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES WELL, I WILL LEAVE THE MECHANICAL RESTORTAION UP TO THE PERSON WHO BUYS IT. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE IN THE TRUCK WAS A 292 6 CYLINDER, WHICH THE FIRST OWNER REPLACED WITH THE 350. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO INSTALL A CORRECT 292 6 CYLINDER IN THE TRUCK, WHICH I DO HAVE, BUT THE 350 RAN EXTREMELY WELL, SO I WILL LEAVE THAT DECISION UP TO THE NEW OWNER.
THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. IT HAS THE FACTORY 4:56 REAR END, SO TOP SPEED IS AROUND 55-60 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH, CLUTCH IS GOOD, THE TRANSFER CASE IS QUIET AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS JUST AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY LOCKOUTS AND HUBS.
I HAVE REPLACED THE INNER AND OUTER ROCKER PANELS WITH NEW, AND REPAIRED ONE CAB CORNERS WITH NEW SHEET METAL. CAB FLOORS WERE SOLID. I REPAIRED THE CAB MOUNTS, AND INSTALLED NEW CAB PERCHES AND BUSHINGS. THE TRUCK IS VERY SOLID. FENDERS, AND BOX WERE COMPLETELY RUST FREE. I HAD THE BODY WORK DONE PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED WITH FACTORY ORIGINAL COLOR 507 LIGHT BLUE SINGLE STAGE JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY. THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT VERY GOOD. THE DRIVER DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES FINE, BUT WILL NEED ADJUSTMENT AS IT SCRAPES ON THE ROCKER PANEL, I HAVE SHOWN PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE THIS. THE TRUCK HAS CUSTOM CAB TRIM WITH ALL CHROME INTACT, CAB TRIM SAILS, DELUXE HEATER AND FULL GUAGES. I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW BED WOOD KIT FROM CLASSIC PARTS, WITH NEW STRIPS AND HARDWARE. I HAVE INVESTED OVER 8K IN THIS TRUCK IN REPLACEMENT PANELS, PAINT WORK BED WOOD KIT, AND LABOR.
MECHANICALLY THE TRUCK IS STRONG. IT DOES NOT BURN OIL. IT DOES LEAK OIL IF THE TRUCK SITS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. ALL SUSPECT U-JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN DRIVE SHAFTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND BATTERY. BRAKES ARE GOOD, NEWER EXHAUST, STEERING IS TIGHT. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. IT HAS FACTORY TINTED GLASS, BOTH WINDOWS AND WING WINDOWS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. NEW WINDOW FELT IS NEEDED IN DRIVERS WINDOW, WHICH ARE AVAILABLE.

THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE GOOD TREAD, THEY LOOK GREAT, BUT RECOMMEND USING THE GOODYEAR TIRES FOR ANY EXTENDED DRIVING. THE WHITE SPOKE WHEELS THAT ARE SHOWN IN A FEW OF THE PICTURES WERE SOLD.

I HAVE SET RESERVE LOW IN COMPARISON TO NADA BOOK VALUE, AND IN ALL FAIRNESS TO BIDDERS, CHOOSE TO NOT DIVULGE RESERVE. IF YOU HAVE A LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK OR NEGATIVE RATING PLEASE CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID SO I CAN VERIFY YOUR INTENT TO PAY.
THIS 1966 K-20 IS BEING SOLD AS-IS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR CONSENTED. IT IS A 47 YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT WILL NEED AN OWNER WHO CAN CARE FOR AND MAINTAIN IT CONSISTANTLY. IT IS NOT A TRUCK THAT CAN BE USED FOR TODAY'S HIGHWAY TRAVEL, ALTHOUGH IN THE RIGHT SITUATION IS A GREAT RURAL DAILY DRIVER, FARM TRUCK, RANCH TRUCK, VACATION HOME, HOBBY FARM, SMALL BUSINESS ADVERTISING TRUCK. OR IS A PERFECT TRUCK TO TAKE THE REST OF THE WAY FOR A SHOW TRUCK.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
