1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Shortbed - Sharp!!! on 2040-cars
Montgomery City, Missouri, United States
|
1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4, Shortbed, Original 400 V-8, Automatic Transmission, Painted Hot Rod Flat Black w/ All New Trim and Stainless Accents. The engine had already had some improvements added on to it before I had purchased the truck. An Edelbrock aluminum intake and Edelbrock carb had already been installed and we added a few small engine accessories such as the chrome valve covers and air cleaner. Complete fresh tune-up including cap, rotor, wires, plugs, fuel filter and pump. The engine runs very strong and sounds great. Engine does not blow any smoke when it first starts up as many Chevrolet engines do. The exhaust on the truck is true dual exhaust with turbo mufflers - NOT glasspacks. I like a nice tone from my exhaust - Not loud redneck exhaust by no means. I had my mechanic look over the entire drivetrain and he replaced all the front u-joints in the front axle, greased and packed all the front bearings, new brakes, and converted over to lock out hubs. Also just had a front end alignment done as well. Truck is setting on 31x11.50 Super Swampers on 15x8 Original style Ralley Wheels. This truck originally was an Arizona truck so the tuck never had any major rust issues to speak of. Body wise the truck has a new hood, hood springs, 1980's style doors, replacement cab corners, and pretty much the rest of the truck is the original sheet metal. Body and paint was done in a professional body shop - Not is someones back yard. Other goodies include New front grille, New head light bezels, New front bumper, New chrome door handles, New wheel opening mouldings, New aluminum bed caps, New aluminum tailgate protector, New windshield, New chrome wing vent handles, Aluminum tool box, and Custom hand painted pinstriping by MK John Studio just to mention a few. As for the interior - Pretty much everything is fresh, new, or redone. Dash has been upgraded to the newer style dash. Pyle Am/FM Stereo w/ small box speakers mounted behind seat. Door panels are also the newer style door panels. New headliner, Old school seat, New carpet kit, New seat belts, New chrome window cranks, New chrome interior door handles, Dome light functions as it should, and gauge package was reworked and all gauges now work as they should - Even the gas gauge works correctly (Which if you have ever owned an old Chevy this is amazing to see one actually work correctly). Not really to much bad to say about this old truck other than the original air conditioning system had been removed before I got my hands on it and I did not mess with it so yes, it is still off the truck. Otherwise, this old truck is pretty tight and rattle free. Doors fit up good and it rides and drives good going down the road. The truck just passed Missouri safety inspection meaning everything checked out good and tight with the suspension, all lights work as they should, and yes even the horn blows correctly. I know I am forgetting to mention a ton of stuff as I have worked on this truck in my spare time for about the last year and a half or so. Honestly I had no intentions of selling this truck but we are building a new home and some of my toys needs to go as we are already going over budget on the house so truck is going up for sale. The truck is for sale locally as well as here on Ebay so I do reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I was a collector car dealer about 10 years ago and we used to sell a ton of cars through Ebay so I have heard a lot of scams over the years so please do not even try with me. My description is an honest description - Look at my feedback and bid with confidence. My phone number is 573-220-5566 if you have any questions feel free to give me a call. I can also help with shipping arrangements as I still have some connections with several different shipping companies around the United States as we used to ship cars all over the United States and overseas. A $1000.00 deposit will be expected within 3 days of auction end and the balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auctions end. Vehicle will not be released until all funds have cleared. Thanks.......

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
