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. |

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.
