1970 Chevrolet K20 C20 Pickup Truck Fire 4x4 on 2040-cars
Simi Valley, California, United States
|
HISTORY: According to the Protect-O-Plate (included with sale of truck)
and documentation, this truck was purchased new from Alexander
Chevrolet, Inc in Franklin, IN by the city of Franklin on July 15, 1970.
It was sent to Howe Fire Apparatus Company in Anderson, Indiana to be
up fitted with a utility bed and PTO to become a Fire and Rescue truck
for Franklin IN. It appears the truck was sent directly from the
dealership to Howe Fire Apparatus Company and did not get titled until
1971 upon completion of being up fitted with the fire and rescue
equipment. In 1983, it was sold to the public with only 6000 miles on
it. That owner put a fleet side bed on it and, despite the mileage,
performed a "restoration" on it. It was then sold to a close friend of
mine in 2002. It was then traded and sold back and forth between me and
him two times. When I bought it back from him the last time, it had
@52,000 original miles and in need of a lot of attention.
DESCRIPTION: The truck is ultra clean top and bottom. I got the truck back from paint a couple of months ago. It was painted its original 514 Red. Great paint job from Newcastle in Simi Valley, CA. The underside was cleaned and rattle canned. Bumpers, chrome, grill (original) and bright work are in good to excellent condition. All glass is good, windshield is new as are all the seals and rubber. I found a ream of the original factory patterned (standard) red seat material and had it perfectly matched to the original seat when the seat was rebuilt and reupholstered by Richy's in Simi Valley, CA. Mechanically, everything works like they should except the added factory vacuum gauge is not hooked up. Brand new Firestone mud tires. ENGINE: The engine is a GM factory HT383 crate motor. It has @30,000 miles on it. 1964 corvette ram horn exhaust manifolds, MSD HEI distributor, Optima blue top battery, 00 battery cables, four row radiator, and an internally regulated alternator. The carburetor is a Holly street avenger that was swapped on it a month ago. The truck avenger that I had put on it years back was a factory recalled one, so I had them send me the street avenger instead. It has 2 1/2 exhaust pipes with Flow Master mufflers. Kenz Muffler in Oxnard did the exhaust. DRIVETRAIN: The transmission is the original SM465 four speed (granny low first). The transfer case is the original NP205 (it has a slight leak) coupled with a Gear Venders overdrive/gear splitter. The rear drive shaft is an Inland Empire Driveline. The axles are both original to the truck retaining their factory 4.10 ratios. Dana 44 in the front, Eaton HO52 in the rear. The rear has a no-spin locker in it (an open diff comes with the truck as well). All u-joints, including axle, were replaced with Spicer units. BRAKES: I sourced the complete brake system (front disc, rear drums, lines, and booster/master cylinder) from a 1972 3/4 ton Chevy that was bought just for this purpose. All parts that could be bought new or reconditioned were purchased at this time including all new wheel/hub bearings, hoses, calipers, rotors, and drums. SUSPENSION: The springs are 2 1/2 inch leafs. The rears have a 0 rate 1" leaf added. Last month I added new Bilstien shocks front and back. It also has Hellwig sway bars front and back. The wheels are Ford E350 take offs, that were powder coated white, with brand new Firestone mud tires (matching spare included). It also comes with a set of new ORD shackles that I never installed. The steering box was replaced with one from AGR Steering as well as the steering pump. INTERIOR: The seat was reconditioned as described above. Features are as follows: New dash pad, newer factory rubber floor covering, new glove box liner, replaced factory cluster with one that has all the gauges including functional tachometer. It has a Custom Auto Sound stereo with a speaker box under the seat. The entire cab floor as well as the lower doors has been LineX'ed. Hush mat has been applied throughout the cab and gas tank. All factory decals are still in place. BODY: The entire exterior was very recently painted the factory Chevy 514 red. All new rubber was installed (except wind wings). The entire bed was reshot at LineX of Simi Valley. There is not even a foot print in it yet. All new rubber gaskets and cab light lenses were also added when painted. There is not or ever was any rust on the truck. ACCESSORIES: The truck comes with a full set of manuals, fire apparatus documentation, Protect-O-Plate, matching spare, and a LineX'ed custom cab rack (not installed). If not sold by August, truck can be bid on at Mecum Auctions in Monterey, CA during motor week. Email with any questions, or to set up a viewing. I have a lift so you can go over it from top to bottom. I reserve the right to end listing early, as the truck is for sale locally. Thank You. |

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises
Wed, Oct 13 2021Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
