I AM THE 3RD OWNER. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO TO DRIVE AND ENJOY. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE COSMETIC WORK TO THE TRUCK, BEING MINDFUL OF ORIGINALITY. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO FULL MECHANICAL ORIGINALITY BY INSTALLING THE 292 WITH ORIGINAL EXHAUST, BUT SINCE THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES WELL, I WILL LEAVE THE MECHANICAL RESTORTAION UP TO THE PERSON WHO BUYS IT. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE IN THE TRUCK WAS A 292 6 CYLINDER, WHICH THE FIRST OWNER REPLACED WITH THE 350. IT WAS MY INTENTION TO INSTALL A CORRECT 292 6 CYLINDER IN THE TRUCK, WHICH I DO HAVE, BUT THE 350 RAN EXTREMELY WELL, SO I WILL LEAVE THAT DECISION UP TO THE NEW OWNER.
THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. IT HAS THE FACTORY 4:56 REAR END, SO TOP SPEED IS AROUND 55-60 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH, CLUTCH IS GOOD, THE TRANSFER CASE IS QUIET AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS JUST AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY LOCKOUTS AND HUBS.
I HAVE REPLACED THE INNER AND OUTER ROCKER PANELS WITH NEW, AND REPAIRED ONE CAB CORNERS WITH NEW SHEET METAL. CAB FLOORS WERE SOLID. I REPAIRED THE CAB MOUNTS, AND INSTALLED NEW CAB PERCHES AND BUSHINGS. THE TRUCK IS VERY SOLID. FENDERS, AND BOX WERE COMPLETELY RUST FREE. I HAD THE BODY WORK DONE PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED WITH FACTORY ORIGINAL COLOR 507 LIGHT BLUE SINGLE STAGE JUST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY. THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT VERY GOOD. THE DRIVER DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES FINE, BUT WILL NEED ADJUSTMENT AS IT SCRAPES ON THE ROCKER PANEL, I HAVE SHOWN PICTURES TO ILLUSTRATE THIS. THE TRUCK HAS CUSTOM CAB TRIM WITH ALL CHROME INTACT, CAB TRIM SAILS, DELUXE HEATER AND FULL GUAGES. I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW BED WOOD KIT FROM CLASSIC PARTS, WITH NEW STRIPS AND HARDWARE. I HAVE INVESTED OVER 8K IN THIS TRUCK IN REPLACEMENT PANELS, PAINT WORK BED WOOD KIT, AND LABOR.
MECHANICALLY THE TRUCK IS STRONG. IT DOES NOT BURN OIL. IT DOES LEAK OIL IF THE TRUCK SITS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. ALL SUSPECT U-JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN DRIVE SHAFTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND BATTERY. BRAKES ARE GOOD, NEWER EXHAUST, STEERING IS TIGHT. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. IT HAS FACTORY TINTED GLASS, BOTH WINDOWS AND WING WINDOWS WORK AS THEY SHOULD.

THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE GOOD TREAD, THEY LOOK GREAT, BUT RECOMMEND USING THE GOODYEAR TIRES FOR ANY EXTENDED DRIVING. THE WHITE SPOKE WHEELS THAT ARE SHOWN IN A FEW OF THE PICTURES WERE SOLD.

THIS 1966 K-20 IS BEING SOLD AS-IS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR CONSENTED. IT IS A 47 YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT WILL NEED AN OWNER WHO CAN CARE FOR AND MAINTAIN IT CONSISTANTLY. IT IS NOT A TRUCK THAT CAN BE USED FOR TODAY'S HIGHWAY TRAVEL, ALTHOUGH IN THE RIGHT SITUATION IS A GREAT RURAL DAILY DRIVER, FARM TRUCK, RANCH TRUCK, VACATION HOME, HOBBY FARM, SMALL BUSINESS ADVERTISING TRUCK. OR IS A PERFECT TRUCK TO TAKE THE REST OF THE WAY FOR A SHOW TRUCK.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
