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. |

Travis Kvapil tells Twitter his Sprint Cup car was stolen
Fri, Feb 27 2015There's a bizarre story coming out of Atlanta today, as NASCAR racer Travis Kvapil is reporting that his Sprint Cup Car was stolen from a lot at the Drury Inn in Morrow, GA. Kvapil announced the theft, which included the black pickup that was hauling the trailer and the #44 Chevrolet SS Sprint Cup Car – shown above, with driver JJ Yeley at the wheel – on Twitter. According to Kvapil, the car wasn't going to be ready for the Thursday test session at Atlanta Motor Speedway, although forecasts of snow forced the team to dispatch their main trailer and tools to the track ahead of the car, which left for Atlanta later yesterday. According to ESPN, police in Morrow have video of the "incident," which happened at 5:34 AM Friday, with police investigating it as as criminal in nature. "Sometimes what happens when thieves see trailers, they might just assume there's something in the trailer they can go off and sell," Sgt. Larry Oglesby, of the Morrow PD, told USA Today. "Sometimes when things like this occur, they will drop off the items in a parking lot somewhere – like a Walmart parking lot – once they realize what they have." "All we know is it was a silver jeep," team owner John Cohen told USA Today. "One guy got out and they pulled off together." Earlier, Cohen told ESPN that the theft will force the team out of this weekend's race at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kvapil, meanwhile, has taken to Twitter to appeal to his followers to be on the lookout for the truck, trailer and race car. Here's hoping it turns up all together. Check out the driver's tweets, below. Wow. Anyone near Atlanta find my stolen Cup car let me know! Unreal - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 I bet when whoever has it, opens the trailer and is going to be like 'oh snap' - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Ok, to clarify. @Teamxtreme44 transporter is @amsupdates. The guys stayed and worked on the car Thursday at the shop in NC. They drove.... - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 down last night in a Ford dually and enclosed trailer with racecar inside. That was stolen out of hotel parking lot this am in Morrow, GA - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Black Ford dually, white enclosed tag behind trailer.

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.
