This truck was custom ordered from the factory in 1977 and delivered in July of 1978. The former owner bought it from the original owner ten years ago, had it repainted four years ago, had the transmission and engine completely rebuilt 3 years ago, and was having the interior redone when the man working on it passed away. The engine does need some cleaning. It is still "Corporate Blue". The paint is closer to factory than most factory paint jobs, and I have all the original trim excluding one of the interior Silverado Custom door bezels. The former owner had to leave after the rebuilt, and it wound up sitting for two years with brand new tires and less than 100 miles on the rebuilt. The former owner put a Tomco remanned Rochester equipped Quadrajet Carburetor. It has gotten a brand new starter, a new Wix Fuel Filter and air filter and a brand new Airtex (by Federal Mogul) fuel pump. The only aftermarket modifications the former owner made include a new hood, a Rhino-Liner bed liner, a billet aluminum grill, a GM approved heavier duty tailgate, bucket seats, chrome bed caps, beauty rings and a red and black bowtie hold down on the brether.

The cons are that the interior never got finished, the former owner kept all but one piece of the trim, which means it needs a headliner and carpet. It needs driven. The hood needs to be reinforced on the driver side and the paint has a few minor scratches. No rust. The pick-up was always driven in Arkansas. The A/C is not installed, but is in the cabin.

The truck needs some TLC and above described interior parts need to be installed.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
