Great old Chevy 4x4 - Nice driver, great to restore, use it for hunting, camping, it's ready to go!
Very straight, clean and rust free K10 truck with big block power ( yes, I know they didn't build a big block K10 in '79) The 454 was installed by the previous owner when the original 350 expired at about 103k. He swapped it out of a wrecked '85 G van with about 70k miles. It was repainted about 20 years ago in the original color but it needs to be painted again - paint is dull and faded, but as you can see from the pictures, still presentable. There are some dings and scrapes, but it is really straight for a 35 year old work truck. Engine runs well, starts right up, warms up and stays right at 210-220 even in the desert heat. Transmission is a TH350, more than enough transmission for the '85 big block. Manual transfer case works as it should - low range will pull a house off it's foundation. I added the manual locking hubs so it wasn't such a beast at slow speeds - huge difference. I had the front driveshaft and slip yoke rebuilt as well. The interior is fair, the seat was reupholstered and looks decent. I replaced the drivers seat belt, so they both work and retract. The door panels and dash were re-dyed at some point from the original orange interior to a tan and they need to be refinished again, though they are solid and not sun damaged. It needs visors, carpet. I replaced the instrument cluster with a nice used on - all the gauges now work and the faces are not faded. There is an aftermarket AM/FM Cassette that works...sometimes. There is just one speaker - the originals were shot so I just wired in one to listen to the games. Heater core is by-passed. I am sure it leaks, but I never needed heat so I never looked into it. The truck has dealer added A/C. It was working but will only hold a charge for a few weeks - there is a leak at the crimps on the compressor lines. I didn't drive it enough for it to matter to me and didn't want to put in a $50 can of R12 every time I drove it, but it will likely take $150 in hoses and another $100 in R12 to fix. It has not been converted to R134 There are many new parts on the truck that I will list below. The big block swap is done well, it's not a hack job. Most would think it came that way. It has some custom brackets for the accessories and a modified fan shroud but otherwise looks factory. All the emissions equipment is there and working. I have driven it very little - maybe 3000 miles in the past two years, mainly just to pick up something at home depot or take tree clippings to the dump. I bought it on a whim because thought it was cool and I always wanted one. Now, time to move on to something else.
Most of these are hacked up junk or rusted out. This one is a real survivor that somehow avoided the perils of high school auto shop butchering and back yard monster truck builders. Drive it like it is or great truck to restore back to original. |

2016 Chevy Camaro leaked on CNBC
Fri, May 15 2015It seemed inevitable. Eventually some outlet would get access to fully uncovered pictures of the sixth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and let them loose early. Embargoes break. All. The. Time. And for this round, credit goes to CNBC's Squawk Box. The program, according to the GM Inside News forums, had been talking about the new Camaro "all morning," when it dropped a trio of images of the new muscle car. Consider this, then, our first full look at the 2016 Camaro, a car we detailed extensively earlier this morning. In general, the leaked images confirm much of what we discussed in that post regarding the car's looks – an evolved style, with a slim grille up front, a rounded tail, and a very short rear deck. Check out the leaked images, give our Camaro round-up a read, and strap in for tomorrow's big Camaro reveal.
Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Impala bi-fuel sales; VW e-Up fire
Tue, Dec 15 2015Chevrolet has delivered about 200 units of its bi-fuel Impala so far. The automaker originally planned to begin sales in summer of 2014, but was delayed over a year due to quality concerns. Now, the bi-fuel Impala, which runs on both gasoline and CNG, has begun delivery, mostly to commercial and fleet customers. The car begins at $38,210 (including destination charges), and will be available at 3,200 US dealerships. Production of a 2016 model is underway. Read more at Green Car Reports. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $35 million in funding for hydrogen and fuel cell technology projects. The money will support research and development, manufacturing, and early deployment of the technologies. The DOE also wants to bring together consortia to work together on fuel cell cost, performance, and durability, as well as hydrogen storage research. "As FCEVs become increasingly commercially available, the Energy Department is focused on advancements to enable hydrogen infrastructure including production, delivery, storage, and manufacturing, as well as continuing to reduce fuel cell cost and improve durability," the DOE said in a statement. Read more from the DOE. A Volkswagen e-Up! caught fire after a collision with a train in Norway. The driver, Christopher Traasdahl Saether, was able to jump from the electric Volkswagen before the train hit, and was physically unharmed. It also appears that there were no injuries among the passengers on the train. "It was quite a way to start the day," says Saether. A photographer at the scene reported that the car burst into flames when a salvage crew attempted to remove the wreckage from the railway crossing.
