1983 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale 4x4 on 2040-cars
Killen, Alabama, United States
|
I am having to sell this 1983 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale 4x4 pickup. Aside from minor cosmetic rust, this pickup truck is an outstanding running example of a 30 year old classic. It has only had two owners and it has plenty of extras! I personally don't know the exact mileage on the 350 chevrolet engine, expect that is is bored .030 over and has good compression and doesn't need any work done to it, I do have a build sheet available for when the engine was built though. (cam specs are a 210 duration at .050 lift, total lift is .440 intake and exhaust. It comes equipped with a 600 CFM Holley 4160 Electric Choke Carburetor matted to a Edelbrock Performer intake. The ignition components include a Accel distributor, plugs, and wires. Exhaust gases exit through long tube headers and true dual exhaust system through flowmaster 40 series mufflers. The result is that this truck actually does not sound like ass! The running gear is in equally good shape and is equipped with the factory A833 4-speed manual overdrive transmission, quite a rare option in these trucks and they definitely improve overall fuel economy. The transfer case is the factory NP208 transfer case. Front and rear axles are GM corporate 10 bolts, regeared 3.73. New front axle steering damper. Lastly, the front axle is equipped with automatic locking hubs. Recent maintanence performed last winter includes a new oem-style radiator, new harmonic balancer and front crank seal, all new coolant hoses and heater core, thermostat, alternator and drive belt. Lastly, it has four new headlights and wipers. Lastly, it has new tires that literally have less than a thousand miles of wear, they are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ 33x12.50x15 installed on American Racing Outlaw 1 15x10 aluminum alloys. Other than the superficial rust on parts of the cab and quarter-fenders, this truck is in remarkable shape giving its age. It isn't a show-truck, but a clean example of an adult owned K10 with lots of life left in it. I have invested over 2,000 dollars in tires and maintanence just last winter and I am selling because I am about to be a dad (insulting offers will be declined) and persuing other matters at the moment. Clean and clear title, you won't be disappointed. Asking 5,000. Respectful offers will be considered, insulting offers will be declined. For more info, please contact me, Jim Holcombe, at 256-810-5724 |

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
