1970 Chevrolet Step-side Pickup This truck may not be perfect, but it might be perfect for you. As stated in the description, it's not a show truck. That being said, it's a very high quality driver. I have never driven it and not had people smile and wave. It's like being in your own parade. I bought this truck about a year and a half ago for a teenager who was getting his license. After sinking money and time into it, I decided that it might be better if he drove the family mini-van instead. (This made me somewhat unpopular among teenage drivers at my house). Life moves on and a dad can only have so many toys before the neighbors call the HOA. BODY: The body is in fantastic shape. The doors, rockers, fenders, etc are rust free. There is some trace rust on the rain gutter trim. There are no dents. The sheet metal is very straight. The paint is older but there aren't any runs, sage, fisheyes, etc. There are a couple of smaller paint chips. One is on the driver door and the other is on the passenger side front fender. I've been told that paint shops can match the color, I just never did. There are new chrome rearview mirrors. There is an extra grille and front bumper (painted the same body color). The new grille is one I found locally but it's in pretty good shape. The new bumper is from LMC. There is a fiberglass bed cover with gas struts. The cover itself is in great shape and the struts are solid. The clear coat on the paint was coming off. It's cool and stuff, just not my style. Anyhow, all that stuff comes with. The rear bumper is removed and has a nice roll pan. The tailgate is held by some cool old seatbelt style brackets. (No chains banging against paint). POWERTRAIN: The motor is a small block Chevrolet 350. It has an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. The carburetor was recently rebuilt by a real mechanic. This truck has power steering and power brakes. The brakes are drums and stop very well. The transmission is a column shift (easier to have your girl/friends/dog ride close) Turbo 400. I recently replaced the filter and put new fluid in. It runs well and starts right up on the first crank. The person I bought the truck from said the motor was recently rebuilt. I can't back that up and have no idea on the milage. That being said, it runs well and doesn't blow smoke. INTERIOR: Trucks this age have been touched by many hands. I did most of the interior work. LMC guys are still sending me birthday cards. I took most everything out and started over. The floorpans were rust free. (Awesome) There is sound deadener (It wasn't Dynamat, but something like it), that rag-type insulation, and brand new carpet. I also put the Dynamat like stuff in the interior of the doors so they go "chunk" when you shut them. The carpet has matching carpet foot boards. I cleaned and wrapped the fuel tank behind the seat. There are new door pads with wood trim, door pulls, chrome window and door cranks. There's a new glove box made out of the highest quality cardboard. There is a new dash pad, new instrument cluster, new wood rallye wheel, yada yada yada... The steering column is adjustable. The stereo in it is new and has CD, blue tooth, wireless iPod this and that. It's not a big boomer, but is loud enough to impress teenagers and local law enforcement. The seat isn't the stock seat, and frankly, not the seat I was planning on using. The newer style seats (99-2008) are a direct fit for this truck and have the power this and that and the seat belts built right in. I never did get one installed. Now I figure it's kind of like changing the paint before you sell a house. It's something that I'm prepared to let the next guy decided on. STUFF THAT NEVER GOT ADDRESSED: I bought a new chrome interior cargo light and never put it in. The tachometer is a "Sun" type. When I replaced the gauge cluster it got cracked and never was rewired. I had planned on changing it out, just like I planned on doing other things. The speedometer is off by about 10MPH. There is a plastic gear that needs replaced on the side. Every so often a couple of drops of gear oil come from the rear differential. SUMMARY/DEALING WITH ME: This is an honest truck. It's not the show car, drag racer, hoopty. It's 45 years old. When you buy a truck this age, many hands have touched it. Some of those hands have been mine, some belong to others. I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing this truck and put up many pictures. I think it's a bad idea to buy a vehicle without looking at it. That being said, it's your call. If you would like to "FaceTime" me, I'd be happy to start it up, walk around it, and point the camera at whatever you want. I'd also be happy to show it to a third party if you wanted to have someone else walk around it. It really is a great little truck. I'm a better buyer than a seller and don't really need any "Gas Monkey" people pointing out flaws (already did). I think that the reserve is pretty low and I'm not in a bind to sell it. The truck is in great shape, good paint, no rust, and it runs well. You can make it whatever you like, or just drive it and enjoy the parade. Please feel free to call me (I live in Mountain time so call during normal hours). I'll hold the truck and the title until your check clears or we can make arrangements on the phone. I won't do shipping, but I will work with your shipper. This truck is located in Boise Idaho. I'm happy to hold the truck for a reasonable amount of time until that gets sorted out. My name is Mike and my phone number is (208) 938-7787. |

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting
Mon, Aug 20 2018With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
