                                                           Up for sale is my 1978 K-10 4X4 Short Bed Scottsdale. Original mileage is 43087 Dual Tanks.

 The motor was rebuilt before I bought it and has approximately 600 miles on it.

I'm the fourth owner of the truck. The first two owners was kept in the family. 

This is what I have done since in my possession.

When I first bought the truck the engine was painted blue, now that great if it's a ford. But since it's a Chevy I made some changes.

I removed all accessories to include alternator, intake, power steering pump, water pump, pulleys, belts and brackets, hoses etc etc.

I wire wheeled the block and heads and painted it Chevy orange with POR-15 (while inside the bay I didn't remove the engine to do this, not a perfect job. But looks pretty good. 


What is nearly brand new is the following probably less than 100 miles.

Water pump

Black powder coated alternator

Black powder coated power steering pump

Nascar Edition Black powder coated intake

Gooseneck

Chevy Dress Kit to include Air cleaner and valve covers

Distributor

Cap, plug, and wires

Fuel pump

All Pulleys

All belts

All hoses

Headers

Fan

Alternator bracket

Power steering bracket

New Battery

New oil pan

New Transmission pan

I have a brand new set of transmission lines that haven't been installed. As you can see from one of the pictures there is a piece of hose where the line broke. This was like that when I bought it and it works but it's not right so I bought new lines just need to be installed.

Now I'm not 100% sure if the entire engine (block heads)is original to the truck, I didn't do the rebuild so I can't answer that.

To my knowledge the transmission or the transfer case hasn't been rebuilt.

The seat is original and has no tears or rips.

Has a rear sliding window. Tint needs to be redone (like that when I bought it)

Has a spray in bedliner

Headlights work

Wipers work

Speedometer works

Outside turn signals work

Brake lights work 


Now that we have talked about the good stuff lets talk about what it needs.

There was a cd player in it I removed that and bent the knob tabs back into place with intent of buying a retro style radio with mp3.

The door panels look kind of ruff was going to get them replaced at one point.

The major issue is the electrical plug for the dash has a broken tab. I have a replacement for it, so it will need to be installed. I discovered this when I went to change the bulbs in the dash. This was also the reason why the second fuel indicator never worked (has duel tanks). So without this being fixed there is no way the fuel gauge will work. The dash turn signals and anything dash related wont work.

Blower motor looks to be out.

Sliding window latch will need to be replaced.

I think I covered everything but If I missed something I'll make a revision.

Driving the truck is up to you depended on how far were you going would depend on whether I would drive it or not. It drives great I had on the highway at 80 mph today.

Inspection of the truck is by appointment only.

Thanks for looking

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
