Gallatin, Tennessee, United States
LIFTED 1971 CHEVY K-20 4X4! CORVETTE FUEL INJECTED LT1! AIR CONDITIONING! SHARP! If you are in the market for a really fun classic vehicle to drive but want to stand out from the crowd and have modern creature comforts then look no further! We have decided to sell our 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne K/20 pickup. This truck isn't just your run of the mill truck though. For starters this truck started off before restoration as a clean rust free truck with 21k original miles. The restoration was basically just a clean and repaint and the body was not removed. A 4" suspension lift was added to the factory 3/4 ton 4x4 drivetrain. It was then painted a beautiful blue and white 2 tone. A set of 16x10 Weld wheels were added and wrapped in 315/70-17 Nitto Terra Grappler tires that currently have around 50-60% tread. Then the powertrain was upgraded with a 1993 Corvette Fuel Injected LT1 engine along with a painless harness and Hypertech tuned computer with a functioning OBD1 port and Check engine lights. Ceramic coated long tube headers were then installed as well as electric fans, Magnaflow exhaust, and a twin ram intake. An HD A/C compressor was added to the factory A/C system as well as a serpentine belt system. The truck rides on Skyjacker shocks and handles well. The truck is also equipped with power steering that you can turn with one finger and power brakes that work well. The factory 14 bolt rear differential and front Dana 44 differentials are filled with 3.73 gears and topped off with chrome differential covers. The factory TH400 transmission was rebuilt to handle more power as well as upgraded with a shift kit and trans cooler. The factory behind the seat fuel tank was removed and a custom built stainless fuel cell was built into the front of the bed and looks great. All the factory gauges work as they should and are as accurate as they were from the factory. The interior was then wrapped in a custom tweed and a custom bowtie headliner was also installed. The truck has a nice aftermarket CD player as well. This restoration is about 15 years old but still looks great. This truck sold at auction 14 years ago for $37,000 plus fees. Everything works and any buyer that would like to the drive truck home from a long distance is welcomed as this truck drives like and is as reliable as a new truck. The only mechanical issue with this truck is a belt squeal that goes away when warm but may be fixed before the truck is sold. We have taken this truck on several long trips and it performed flawlessly. The truck does in fact only have 38,791 miles. The miles may go up just a little as this truck is driven frequently. A brief walkaround video can be viewed at http://youtu.be/odSAmXz0lAs We are offering this truck at NO RESERVE! I don't want to offer a Buy It Now because I would like it to sell for what it's worth. The highest bidder WILL WIN! For more information call or text Matt at 615-364-4835. NO TRADES will be accepted. We are located around 30min from Nashville International Airport and free airport pickup is available. |

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
