1970 Chevrolet K20 Pickup on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:64522
Location:

Wichita, Kansas, United States

Wichita, Kansas, United States

1970 Chevy, 3/4 ton, 4-wheel drive, with 64,522 original miles. Purchased new on 7/20/1970 by the Arkansas City, Ks Fire Department, this truck was used exclusively for grass field fires. The second owner purchased the truck on 6/30/1988 with 20,618 miles, after the F.D. traded it in for a new truck. I have owned the truck since 8/1/1991. The entire drive train is original to the truck, except for the suspension system.
Over the years we had a couple accidents and I replaced the sheet metal with original GM parts, I have always had the intention of restoring this truck to it's former glory, but eventually we have to realize that there is too many projects and not enough time or money to complete them. I believe that I have not put more than 1,500 miles on the truck in the past 15 years, even though I make a great effort to keep the battery up and run the engine once a month, there is a few leaks that are common for a vehicle that has sat for long periods of time. I have been buying parts for the restoration over the years and they will be sold with the truck.
The suspension system, wheels and tires are approximately 5 years old with less than 200 miles. The front clip is GM, hood, fenders, outer grill, inner grill. I also have a pair of GM rockers, after market cab corners, passenger bed side, drivers door, inner fenders, front bumper, windshield rubber, emblems and tan interior pieces, dash pad, arm rests, door panels. I have aquired most A/C pieces, except for a compressor, brackets, lines and condenser.
There is two factory brush guards that I put through the test (add they failed)they are included, hopefully someone can make one good one out of the pieces.

I am available to show the Pickup after 5pm on weekdays and any time during the weekends, with advanced notice. Please contact me after 5pm M-F and anytime during the weekends with your questions. Phone calls or e-mails only. Please no texting, I don't receive them.

Thanks, Mike

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
