* 1974 Chevrolet K10 (4WD) Stepside Pick Up * * NO RESERVE * Before you and up for bid at NO RESERVE is my 1974 Chevy K10 Stepside Cheyenne Pick Up Truck. The particulars of the truck are as follows: * Three owner truck since new, most recent ownership since 2001. * A purpose built toy, the customization of the truck took place in 2006. Since that time it has been driven less than 10K miles. * 83,434 total miles are on the truck. * A garaged & pampered solid Colorado truck, not a winter transportation vehicle and therefore NO RUST. * Non-smoker, adult owned, no pets. * The build was done at a cost exceeding $12K, not factoring the value of the platform K10. * Original 350 ci V8, professionally rebuilt to stock specs for the build, Edelbrock 4 bbl carb, intake, valve covers and air cleaner. Braided hoses and lines. The truck fires right up, holds a smooth idle and runs cool. I just drove it at highway speed over 200 miles, last weekend. * Original TH350 automatic transmission, it shifts smoothly through all transitions and reverse. * 4WD, full or part time, manual lock out front hubs, low and high range * ProComp 4" lift, all new suspension components, bushings, shocks and springs for the build * Flowmaster dual exhaust, sounds great, not over stated * Custom seat refoaming, color coordinated upholstery, the bench seat slides properly forward and back. * Shoulder and lap belts * Nice door panels * Deep pile carpet with sound deadening material * The truck was originally burnt orange in color, the copper is closely matched. The paint job was $5K alone, the truck was stripped down, the interior was removed, doors off, bed off, fenders removed, etc. The finish is still beautiful. (see pic of the hood to observe paint reflection) * For the build, new fenders, doors and tailgate. The bed was taken down to metal. The cab was fully sprayed (inside, too) when the interior was removed. * New bumpers, grill, lights, wiring, etc. * Solid Oak bed floor, in 1974 on Chevy Stepside trucks, wood was still standard. On Fleetsides, the choice of metal or wood was offered. Recently resealed with Thompson water seal. * Chrome roll ball with auxillary dual spot lighting * Custom chrome grill * Originally a factory AC truck, the compressor is not hooked up. All in cab AC related plumbing is still intact. * Stampede 33x12.50 15" M&S All Terrain Tires, 60% tread wear remaining, no uneven wear or cuts. * ProComp Chrome wheels, no pits, curb rash or discoloration. * Power steering, power disc brakes * Fresh fluids, belts, filters, tires rotated and balanced, recent battery * Ceiling mounted sound panel, 4 speakers, PIONEER Supertuner AM/FM/single disc CD player * All gaskets and weather stripping are soft and pliable * Good glass throughout, no cracks, both windows roll up & down smoothly * Sliding rear window * The dash pad does have some minor heat cracks, these pads are easily and inexpensively replaced. A DashMat fabric cover is presently in place. * All safety features, lights, directionals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc. are fully functional. * All gauges and function monitoring lights are fully operational * Excellent heat, defrost and ventillation * Original owners manual and supplemental pamplets * Two sets of keys, locking fuel cap At 40 years of age, while not a show truck, the K10 receives compliments everywhere it goes. The build is almost 8 years old, however, it still looks, runs and drives great! The truck is tight, there is no steering play whatsoever, it does not wander and is easy to drive. It goes down the road straight, easily cruising at 70 mph. The seating position is no higher than that of my Excursion. Ready for summer fun and whatever direction you point it towards, lake, beach, trail, dunes, your choice...the K10 will get you there and back...safely. It is an extremely reliable truck and could easily be a daily driver. I know how much time, work and money went into this truck. While I have a good idea as to its present market value, I'm going to let you, the eBay truck buying public, make that determination. Being sold at a true "NO RESERVE" auction, other than the initial bid to get things started...last bid WINS IT!! Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the 1974 Chevrolet K10 Stepside (4WD) Custom Pick Up Truck that you see before you. Without question, one could not build half of this truck for what I believe it will sell for. You are bidding to purchase the K10, not to be the first to "look at it". Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid. Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet, or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. Thank you. *If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback history, excessive negative feedback, inactivity on eBay for years even though you have been a long standing "member", you will ABSOLUTELY need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid or your bid will be canceled, and you will be blocked from further bidding. This policy is in place as a result of disingenuous bidders, y'know the ilk, flakes, dirtbags, etc., that bid on items, win auctions and then fail to honor their commitment(s). Thank you. I am a legitimate seller simply seeking a legitmate buyer. I will not waste or take lightly your time, please do not do so either with mine. The truck and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. While I am confident that the truck could easily be driven home safely to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving an old car or truck home, as they are just that...old cars. The pragmatic approach is to ship it. Out on the road, miles from home, is not the place to become acquainted with your new (40 year old) truck, get it home first. That said...I can't stop you if you're a type A personality. If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. I can recommend a reputable shipper for you. I will also coordinate to schedule for the pick up with your chosen carrier. Given the age of the truck, it is acknowledged to being sold in "as is" condition, with no expressed, written or implied warranties. A $1000.00 deposit is due & payable VIA PayPal within 24 hours of auction close. No exceptions. I expect you, the buyer, to call me directly within 24 hours of auction close in order to discuss further the particulars of the balance arrangements, as well as your intentions for getting the truck home. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire purchase amount, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the intial deposit fee. (approx. $30.00 per thousand) Clear Colorado title, the title and truck will not be released until payment in full has been received. Upon receipt of full payment, I will overnight to you VIA FedEx your ownership documents. (title & bill of sale) Ebay only provides for 24 pictures. I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the truck. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. Buyers from the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist that is downsizing my personal vehicles that are not getting the use they deserve. Those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased, their expectations exceeded. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a message and I will return your call promptly. While I am offering the K10 at "NO RESERVE", I am open to a "buy it now" offer. If you would like to present a "buy it now" offer, call me and present your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" I don't bite and the worst I can say is no thanks. Thanks for looking, good luck when you bid, bid early, bid often, but remember... last bid WINS this cool old truck! Jeff (719)-492-1234

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test
Wed, Sep 6 2017Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?
Fri, Jul 21 2017General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
