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. |

2016 Chevrolet Spark lights up New York
Thu, Apr 2 2015The little Spark has been somewhat of a surprising entry in the modern Chevy lineup in the US. Given its diminutive stature, you might have expected the slightly larger Sonic to cannibalize the tiny sibling's sales, but that hasn't happened. The Bowtie moved 39,159 Sparks in the US in 2014, a 14.7 percent boost from the previous year. Now at the 2015 New York Auto Show, the latest generation is being unveiled with a new engine and much improved styling. Replacing the current 1.2-liter four-cylinder is an all-aluminum 1.4-liter unit making 98 horsepower. That still doesn't sound like much, but it's 16 percent more than the 2015 Spark. The new mill can be connected to either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission with which Chevy estimates 40 miles per gallon highway fuel economy. The 2016 Spark also gets a longer wheelbase and 1.6-inch lower overall height. Combined with more elliptical headlights at the front, the changes make for a somewhat more sleek appearance than the current, boxy model. The platform underneath is more rigid as well, and Chevy claims the latest underpinnings mean better handling and lower NHV levels inside. The little hatch isn't growing up too much, though, and gets a trio of new colors that sound like jellybean flavors: Toasted Marshmallow, Kalamata and Splash. Chevy is packing the interior with better quality materials and improved tech. Chevy's latest seven-inch MyLink system sits in the center stack with a capacitive touchscreen, and it now comes with a physical volume control and other buttons for easier use. All models also get a rearview camera, and a LCD instrument cluster remains in front of the driver. The available suite of safety systems includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Spot Alert. The 2016 Spark goes on sale in the US in the fourth quarter of 2015 and is produced in South Korea. Expect a gallery showing off all its new styling from the New York show floor soon.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit
Sat, Jan 10 2015It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt
