1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne 4x4 Long Bed W/ 16,000 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Pagosa Springs, Colorado, United States
|
Up for Auction is a 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne K 2500, 3/4 ton 4x4 pick-up with only 16,000 original miles on it. That's right 16,000 not 116,000 miles. I called and confirmed the mileage with the fire department that purchased and owned the truck This truck was ordered as a cab and chassis with no bed by a small Fire Department in Ohio. I have the original build sheet. My understanding is that this truck was used as a vegetation fire fighting truck with a flat bed on it. With a small skid mount pump and tank. Obviously it was not used very much. There is some surface rust on the frame none on the body. I replaced the single exhaust system with a dual exhaust system while retaining the stock exhaust manifolds. It has a stock 350 c.i. engine with a 4 barrel. carb. and the transmission is automatic 350 turbo-hydro-matic. The truck has power steering and power disc brakes from the factory. The dash is wood grained, with a stock in the dash tachometer, and gauges. No idiot lights. I replaced the stock AM radio with a Custom Auto Sound radio with USB, and MP-3 inputs. I also added kick panel speakers, and a new stock center dash speaker. The stock A/M radio goes with the truck also. The seat is in good condition with some stitching starting to break. So I installed an Indian style seat cover with front pouches. I purchased a used bed that was rust free with saddle tanks. The saddle tanks have not yet been installed but go with the truck. I then had any body work that was needed done. The body work was to fill the small holes that the fire department had put in it to mount antennas and a light a bar on the roof. I left the two Unitrol spot lights in place on the "A" pillars. I had the truck repainted the original colors with two stage paint. That way the bed and cab had a perfect match. I can not find any evidence of ever any collision damage. All glass appears to be original w-factory rear sliding window. The 16" steel wheels are original and I put 4 new 10 ply BF Goodrich Commercial tires on them. The spare is a used tire in good condition on a new LMC mag. wheel. I replaced the Alternator and removed the regulator. I installed the needed pigtail to eliminate the regulator. The original Alternator also goes with the truck. This truck spent it's life in a Fire Department Apparatus Garage heated and being wiped down daily. The reason for selling the truck is I have another project waiting to be finished. The truck runs and drives well and is currently registered in Colorado. The buyer is responsible for shipping or pick up in person. A $1000.00 deposit is required. I will not disclose the Reserve Price, so please don't ask. This Truck is a Real Head Turner, it gets attention everywhere I go. Good Luck Bidding!

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
