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! |

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog. Related Video: Transport Canada Recall # 2016053 Recall Date 2016/02/04 Notification Type Safety Mfr System Brakes Manufacturer Recall Number 20760 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 46,837 Category Light Truck & Van, SUV Recall Details On certain Heavy Duty and Police Pursuit vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative. If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
