 Up for auction is what I consider one of the hardest to find in nice condition of all the 67-72 Chev. and GMC trucks.  A low-mileage almost completely original 3/4 ton K-20 4X4.

This was a one owner truck that spent it's entire life in Idaho with a full size camper on the back of it, used for hunting and fishing and occasionally lived in at various construction sites, as the owner was a construction worker.

I bought the truck from his grandson who received the truck from his estate.  He could remember many hunting and fishing trips in the truck and said it was his grandpa's pride and joy, and the condition reflex's it.

Now to the trucks condition, it is a very straight, honest, mostly original truck.  He at some point did an upper end job in the motor to install hardened valve seats, and while at it installed headers, dual exhaust and a Mallory unilite pointless ignition.  The truck runs excellent and also seems to have a mild shift kit.

The paint appears to be mostly original but I am sure it has been touched up in some areas, but not due to any rust issues, as this truck is amazingly solid.  It still has the "original" wood bed in it that is in excellent condition.  I had it taped off and rhino lined to protect it, and if you look at the pictures you can see he had installed on the roof what I take to be a CB antenna. 

Now to the things I messed with.  I put a new chrome bezel on the gauge cluster, and also took an extra glove box door and ash tray cover and had them chromed and painted original color on the inside with only the outside edge left chrome. (something I do with all these trucks)  I installed a new chrome front and rear bumper so they would match as I didn't like the "fit everything" step bumper on the back.  Also new wheels with some good tires I had around, they have about 50% tread.  I also installed a new seat cover.  The rubber mat and dash pad seat cover.  The rubber mat and dash pad are original, as are the door panels.  I replaced the black lower trim with some very nice used wood grain I had stuck away.

The truck came with the really nice bed rail protectors on it, which I have never seen before.  I added the tool box and splash guards to continue the theme.  I also added a 3-spoke wheel, but the original will be put back in.  It is nice with only 1 crack.  The under carriage is so clean and rust free you can clean it with a steel wool pad.

Well that's about all I can think of, but if there's anything else you want to know you can email or call me at 507-456-2957.  People know I have this truck, so it could be gone at most anytime.

Give it a good look and some serious consideration, this is a nice truck!

Good Luck Bidding

P.S. Two of the upper grille mounting brackets are broken.  A new grille is included with the truck.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
